"I'd have preferred to sell Lucio abroad, otherwise he'll just come back and run rings round us in the Bundesliga," former Leverkusen manager Rainer Calmund sighed after the Brazil international completed his switch to Bayern. Calmund's worst fears could yet come true: Lucio is an acknowledged world-class star, a defender who scores goals, dribbles like a winger and looses off a cannonball shot, although there is much more to the man than footballing skill. Lucio speaks German, shoulders responsibility and is a proven winner, the kind of personal qualities which always go down well in Munich.
