1 hour with Lucas: The answers

Thousands of supporters from around the world submitted questions for our No.21 and we put the best to him as he sat behind his computer at home in Liverpool.

If you missed the fascinating question and answer session - which was tweeted live to followers of both @LFC and @lucasleiva87 - then you can read the full transcript below right now.

Everybody at @LFC would like to thank Lucas for giving up an hour of his time on Thursday evening and we wish him the very best for his recovery from injury.

@karishdestroya how is your recovery going?

My recovery is going very well as planned and hopefully I will be ok for next season.

@JamesHandshaw Would you like to be captain one day?

It would be a fantastic achievement for me to be captain for such a big club like Liverpool but Stevie is the main one.

@_Niamhuss_  If you could describe the club in three words what would they be?

Massive, Successful, Supporters.

@M11N5H1 who is the best player of all time?

The player that i have seen is Messi but Pele got numbers that i don't know if anyone will be able to beat.

@AnfieldReds_ What has been your proudest moment in a Liverpool shirt?

My proudest moment with the LFC shirt was when i received the award of player of the season from the fans.

@RuzannaAgger what do you like to do during your free time?

I like to go to restaurants, shopping and if the weather is ok i like to go for a walk with my family in the park.

@danno08 Who do you think has been our best player this season?

Suarez has been brilliant but Skrtel has been so consistent so he is my choice. Skrtel TERMINATOR

@Aaloo69 can u play in my 5-aside team this Sunday? U mite b sub cos my brother wants to play if he can find his astro boots

Well I can be the manager because at the moment I dont think i would be in any 5 aside team. I need to recover properly.

@AndryGerrard who is the best player in your position? in your opinion

I really like Gilberto Silva when he was at Arsenal and playing in the national team. He is very underrated

@JFVision Lucas, who has helped you the most at the club, through this tough injury?

I think it is a mix of everything: Family, Team Mates, Physios, Doctors, Supporters. All of them in different ways.

@sam_jack_riley Lucas out of all the #LFC players you've played with who would make ur 5 a side team?

In England you dont use a Keeper to play 5 aside so my team is Alonso , Gerrard, Lucas, Suarez and Torres...

... I will have to run a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

@Tyl3r_Smith Who's got the best banter at Liverpool?

Maxi is a very funny guy.

@notevenscouse Is Pedro going to grow up as a scouser?

He is scouser!!! But if he speaks with scouser accent I will have to start English Class again haha.

@Baggsie13 How does it feel to have silenced so many of the critics (media outside of LFC) by just playing your game?

I never thought to silence anyone. I just work to be a better player everyday to show i could do well for LFC.

[Eastenders actor] @AdamWoodyatt EastEnders or Coronation Street?

I have never seen Eastenders but i am a big fan of Coronation Street...

... I am only joking because i never watched either.

@nealh49 what exercises are you doing now to get fit get fit soon?

At the moment i am doing a lot of Gym work to get my strength back to protect the Knee. My body weight also.

@B4SR4 If you wasn't a footballer, what would you be?

I would probably go to university and try to be a Managing Director but for sure the best choice was to become a footballer.

@lfcpriya5 What do you think of the LFC supporters?

It think they are so passionate that's why the atmosphere in Anfield is amazing.

@Rezaedr How do you feel to be injured and cannot play? What do you miss?

It is my first injury since i arrived so it is been very hard to watch games in the stands and not able to help my teammates.

@NunkAlhabsy will you end up your career at LFC?

We never know what is going to happen but at moment i am very happy here and would love to stay here as many years i can.

@PGJMatthews Beans on a fry up. Yes or no?

I never tried beans but i already have omeletes so i think it is a good progress. I will try beans this week and report it

@Nina_LFC Ronaldo or Messi?

If you mean Cristiano and not the brazilian striker then my answer is Messi.

@FearlessAndRed what is the best advice somebody has given to you?

Dont complain all the time just work as hard as you can and you will get the award.

@harryjones27 Lucas you have recently became the best defensive midfielder in the league. Have you changed anything to become so good?

I have a lot of friends in different teams so i will be supporting all my team mates.

@CoreyLH What does it feel like hearing your name being sung around Anfield by the famous Kopites?
