Liverpool moved one step closer to the Premier League title
yesterday as they overcame a defiant Norwich
team 3-2 to extend their lead at the top of the table.
Lucas Leiva played the whole 90 minutes for the Reds and
played a pivotal role in helping them earn three points.
The Brazilian spoke to Liverpoolfc.com after the game and
praised the togetherness of the squad.
Lucas said: "It's one of the key things - togetherness,
character and quality as well. The goals we scored today showed that we have
the understanding.
"The players have the understanding between each other.
It just shows that we are going the right way.
"Three games to go and hopefully we can keep this good
run going. If we win the three games, we will be champions.”
Lucas went on to explain how there was added significance
after Chelsea were defeated by Sunderland and Manchester City had been held by the same
opposition on Wednesday.
Lucas discussed the pressure on them before the game too,
adding: “We knew how important this game was, especially after the results
for City and Chelsea.
"People are talking about the pressure that we are
having to play with - but I think we showed again that we have a lot of
confidence. It doesn't matter who plays, the team is doing well. That's the
main thing.
"We got the three points. In the first half, we
dominated the game. We knew in the second half they had to come out and try to
do something; they got an early goal, which made it difficult for us.
"But at the end, we showed a lot of character and we got
the three points. That's the main thing."
