Lucas has hailed Kenny Dalglish’s arrival at Liverpool and inists atmosphere at the club has improved since the Scot’s arrival.

In nearly three months of being incharge at Anfield, Dalglish has managed to raise Liverpool from of the bottom half of the table, away from relgation fears and have the side pushing for a place in Europe.

Initially brought to add some stablisation to the then-struggling squad, reports have now suggested Liverpool are looking for Dalglish to sign a long-term deal and Lucas has also praised the Scot for what he’s managed during his time at the club.

“Kenny has been very good, not just for me, but for all the players and fans,” Lucas told Sky Sports.

“He is really important for the club and everyone is enjoying our time with him.

“Everyone can see the atmosphere is very good at the moment. The results at the moment are also better than before.

“We know how important it is for the club and for the fans so we believe we can do a lot more.

“We now have just eight games left to play and hopefully we can finish well this season and then see what happens. Then we can look to the next season.”

Lucas will play his part on the international stage this weekend as his Brazil side look to take on Scotland and is looking to upset his manager, a former player for the Scottish and take a victory for the South American outfit on Sunday.

“It will be a very important game for us,” he added. “We lost the last games so the pressure is a bit higher.

“But we have a good team and hopefully we will play a very good match.

“Hopefully we will play with confidence and I am sure we will have a big opportunity to win and be confident for the rest of the games.”
