However, he did not play a game for the club. Instead, he moved to league rivals Brasiliense FC in April of that year and played 17 games and scored one goal.

He scored his first of four international goals on February 9, 2005 in Hong Kong  - as part of the Carlsberg Cup  - in a 7-1 win over the Hong Kong national team .

He also triumphed at the Confederations Cup in Germany in 2005 . On June 29th, the national team of Argentina was defeated 4-1 in the final. At the 2006 World Cup , Lúcio set a record in this competition when he only committed a foul in the quarterfinals against the French national team after 386 minutes .

After the World Cup, he was appointed team captain by national coach Dunga .

In 2010 , Lúcio took part in his third World Cup and played all matches of his team as captain. After the disappointing tournament, new coach Mano Menezes gave him a break and increasingly relied on young, new players in the Seleção . Due to Lúcio's good performances, Menezes could not get past him and nominated him for the squad for the 2011 Copa America in Argentina, where Lúcio again led the Brazilian team as captain.

Others

Despite his actually defensive position, Lúcio occasionally switched to the offensive. His game was characterized by tempo dribbles, especially during the Leverkusen time. Under Ottmar Hitzfeld in Munich, he had to concentrate more on his defensive qualities from 2007 to 2008, but occasionally did not miss offensive actions.
