Sao Paulo youngster Lucas is considered to be one of the most promising youngster around in Brazil and the 18-year-old is eager to impress at the South American U-20 Championship in 2011, thus convincing Brazil coach Mano Menezes of his qualities with a view to the 2014 World Cup.
"It’s a good chance to catch the eye. Everybody will be watching. It’s going to be a good competition, alongside some outstanding players," the attacking midfielder was quoted as saying on the official FIFA website.
"Ney Franco is going to have a selection headache when it comes to picking his team. It always motivates you even more when you’re amongst players of this calibre. But if I’ve been selected, it’s because I’ve got quality too.
"If we manage to book our place at the Olympics, those of us who helped seal qualification will have a head start. If you’re part of the Olympic squad, that can boost your chances of playing in the World Cup. One thing leads to another so I want to make a good impression.
"I feel like I’ve matured a lot over the past year. I’ve come on as a player and have filled out physically, performing alongside established and experienced players. Things have gone almost perfectly for me and that’s not something I’m going to forget."
