New Liverpool signing Lucas Leiva made no secret of whom he has been idolising of late.
"I love watching Steven Gerrard play," he told LFC Magazine. "I have been watching him a lot, picking up a few things and I am learning from him already. "When my English improves I hope to be able to talk with him more, and ask for tips on what to do in different situations on the pitch.
"You can learn a lot from coaches in training but even more from someone like Gerrard, who has been there and done it on such a consistent basis."
Leiva also spoke about how he came to Liverpool amid interest from other clubs from across Europe.
"I was aware of interest from Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and also Everton," said the young Brazilian. "There was a lot of talk from other clubs but I always got the feeling Liverpool were most interested in me.
"When I heard Liverpool were interested I said 'Yes' straight away. The club has won so many things – everyone in Brazil knows about them."
He has already featured for Brazil, and expressed his pride at being called up by Dunga: "It's great to be thought of and included along with some of the best players in the world. To train and play with Brazil alongside so many stars is a massive honour."
