I bet they can't name the Brazilian midfielders who helped the country win their last 2 world cups

Since we are at the topic of Lucas, any bros wonder why did he managed to get into the Brazil team if he is really as bad as we think?

What is it the both Rafa and Dunga see in him that we dont?

He came from the Brazilian national team youth ranks....... was captain of the U-19 / U-21 Brazil youth teams...... I think he is being kept in the team on past reputation......... Dunga had dropped Lucas previously but was pressured by the BFA to pick Lucas......... Dunga relented but he still never give him chance to play

Didnt know Lucas got such history...

So maybe I should rephrase to what does Rafa and the BFA see in him?

PS. Lucas did improve this season so lets not put too much heat on him...

Not much in that because many players are in their national squads based on reputation anyway. If a young player is in the national squad but doesn't play much, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If it's a club, that would be another matter!

Benitez impressed by 'miracle' placenta cure

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has defended the controversial use of a placenta-based treatment at a Serbian clinic to get four of his top players fit for a crucial week of fixtures.

Glen Johnson, Fabio Aurelio, Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera have all visited the Belgrade clinic run by physiotherapist Mariana Kovacevic, having previous been ruled out for up to a month with calf and hamstring injuries.

Following a massage with the placenta cream, all four have returned to full training and are in line for Saturday's vital home Premier League clash with Manchester City, with a Champions League trip to Hungary to face Debrecen on Tuesday and the Merseyside derby at Everton next Sunday.

Boss Benitez is desperate to salvage Liverpool's season and get them into the Champions League again next year, and he was prepared to try almost anything to get his top stars fit.

Benitez said: "We knew of other players at Premier League clubs who have been to Belgrade for treatment with this lady, and we were made aware that it was very effective. [Manchester City's] Pablo Zabaleta told Riera about it.

"She has been working for seven years with top-class sportsmen, not just footballers. So she has the experience.

"We felt it was a good opportunity to send some of our players. We sent two, Benayoun and Riera and they came back and started training straight away. So we decided to send two more, Johnson and Aurelio, and the same thing has happened. They have been training and all four will be in the squad against City.

"Arsenal's Robin van Persie went earlier, but now there are several more top players who are going to have treatment in the same way. City have sent two, (Vincent) Kompany and Zabaleta beforehand, and they were playing within days.

"There have been no injections, it is a placenta cream applied with a (massage) machine that creates waves of pressure."

He added: "We sent our players, and Van Persie was there. Kompany and Zabaleta have also been there, and we have been made aware of the success of this treatment over several years.

"Many top players have been going there for seven years, it has been successful and I believe it is safe.

"It is good for specific injuries, doctors have explained the treatment and the components of the cream that is used. We are happy with it.

"We checked it out when we became aware of the different players who had been there. I must admit we have been surprised with how well it has worked.

"It means we have players available and training that we expected to be out for several weeks. Can we guarantee that they are fully fit? We will see, but they have trained with the rest of the team for three days and they are OK."

Like that also can? I'm worried it doesn't allow the injury to fully heal.

Poor game, lucky to get a draw really (in fact it can be said we have been lucky to draw at home in the last 2 games, and that's a sad thing to say).

And the injuries keep piling...
