Liverpool midfielder Lucas surprised to clock up 100 games

Lucas Leiva admits he's surprised himself with his form at Liverpool.

The Brazil midfielder has just clocked up 100 appearances for the club.

"I don't think too many Brazilians have achieved this mark in the Premier League but hopefully there are many games to come and I'm looking forward to playing them," he said.

"I didn't think I would get 20 Premier League appearances to be honest but I am still here and improving all the time.

"I am pleased the way I am playing. I think everyone can see how I have changed.

"In my first season I was only young and a boy learning about English football.

"It is a great achievement but nothing changes, as a player I always try to work hard and be positive.

"I am not the kind of player who likes to talk too much, I prefer to work a lot and try to do it on the pitch.

"I am really settled and feeling comfortable on the pitch. Hopefully I will keep working and keep improving."
