Lucas returned with a bronze medal and Benítez had high hopes for the Brazilian’s future, stating, “This season he will improve because he is a very, very good professional and has experience of the Olympic Games.” Lucas noted that Liverpool’s squad was much improved from the previous season and relished the opportunity to compete for trophies, despite the increased difficulty of getting a first-team place. However, after a number of disappointing performances, both critics and fans voiced concerns about Lucas’ quality and his confidence was further knocked when Liverpool fans booed him after a lacklustre draw against Fulham. The criticism irked Benítez and he responded with a passionate defence of the player, saying that “people just don’t know how good Lucas is.” Benítez also underlined Lucas’ credentials, stating that he had been captain for both Grêmio and his national youth team, and that competing for place against Javier Mascherano, Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso was inherently difficult. Lucas’ performances in December 2008 for Liverpool drew him much praise from pundits, the highlight being his performance in the 5–1 thrashing of Newcastle United, where he provided an assist for Gerrard. Lucas was sent off in a cup tie against Mersey rivals Everton, which Liverpool lost. This compounded his growing unpopularity amongst Liverpool’s supporters, after he gave away a late penalty in Liverpool’s previous match, a 1–1 draw with Wigan Athletic.
