You see this is my problem with the Lucas fans in here. I get the impression that if he coughed you'd clap.
He played fine in the first half. Didn't do anything wrong (apart from a woeful shot) but didn't do anything particularly good either.
I understand why you got this impression. You saw the game on TV, like most of us I suppose.
The camera stays on the strikers mainly. SO did not see a lot of Lucas. He was on the the "dark side of the camera"
Once I could not stand the stupid comment on my cable, so I turned it into mute and found a good Brazilian radio station and followed it on-line while watching the tv picture.
Today, for example, Lucas was the most mentioned person in the first half, he was everywhere, from his own area to the rival area, everything was between him and Ramires, hey bossed the game. In the Tv we saw some missed goals, some woodwork, etc. from the attack, but from the radio you heard how much was Lucas involved from the dark side of the Camera. Another advantage: the on-line radio is in a little delay so when I see some action, I have no idea on Lucas important part in it, and than I hear the detailed description with X to Lucas, Lucas to Y, again Lucas, good pass Lucas, Lucas header deflecting.. I suppose they do not get paid by Lucas to invent it.
Sometime there are the replays when we see him in action, after hearing it in the radio, we know when and whereto look..
TO tell you the truth , as I can not hear radios from England, I use the live comentry of skysport for this aim, but it is not very well, as SKYSPORT ignore him most of the time, unless he does something wrong.
Bless el Alonso and others who takes the trouble to make compilations.
Sorry if i was too long again but I wanted to explain something, and maybe some of you will do the same to get a better hint what went on off the ball and the camera
You may miss it even if you are on the stands, i have seen people listening to little radios during the game, beleive it or not, and not only to see another game result.
