Competition improves me - Lucas
Lucas feels he is benefiting from playing with Alonso and Mascherano
| Liverpool's Lucas Leiva believes competition for places in the Reds midfield has made him a better player.
The 22-year-old Brazil international midfielder has played asupporting role to Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso at Anfield thisseason.
He told BBC Radio Merseyside: "It's good because when you arefighting with players like Alonso and Javier. You try to improve everyday.
"You know if you don't improve it will be impossible to play."
Lucas, who has scored three goals in 36 appearances forLiverpool this season, has not always been met with universal approvalfrom Liverpool fans.
The former Brazil Under-20 captain believes it is too early tocompare him to his more experienced midfield team-mates at Anfield.
"I am learning, but Steven Gerrard is 29, Alonso is almost 28,Javier is almost 25 and I'm 22 so I'm young and I have to enjoy thistime and to learn with them.
"Hopefully in one or two years I will be a key player also," said Lucas.
 | If they are happy in me I will show, as soon as possible, my real quality
Lucas Leiva
| Lucas believes he is beginning to show the faith that manager Rafa Benitez placed in him on signing from Gremio in 2007.
"When I don't start I play some minutes, that shows how confident Rafa is in my quality.
"I know not everybody trusts in me but I don't care. I have said before I just care about the team, (and) the staff.
"If they are happy in me I will show, as soon as possible, my real quality."
