Midfielder Lazio Lucas Leyva expects to still be able to play for the national team of Brazil.

Last summer, Leyva moved from Liverpool to Lazio and sets himself serious tasks. One of them - the return to the Brazilian national team.

"My goal - to return to the national team of Brazil", - quotes Leiva Fox Sports Brasil.

"As long as I feel good and will have a game practice - I will hope to return to the national team".

"But I also realize that regular gaming practice is not enough to get an invitation to the national team again. Now I'm focused on a successful game in Lazio, "said Leyva.

The last time for the Brazilian national team, Lucas Leiva played in November 2013, in a friendly match against Chile (2-1).
