Luis Suarez Is World's Best Player

 

Brendan Rodgers believes Barcelona's Luis Suarez is the biggest threat his Celtic side will face on Tuesday night, calling the forward the best player in the world. Rodgers worked with the 29yearold at Liverpool and paid tribute to the Uruguayan's personality as well as his ability.

He said “First of all, when you speak about Luis Suarez, you have to speak about the man, Luis Suarez is one of the most beautiful men you could come across. He's a very humble guy who works tirelessly at his profession. He is a super-professional, a family man who gives everything for his life as a footballer and his family. I had the pleasure of working with him for two years and he was incredible and as a footballer, he is the best in the world. The biggest compliment you can give Luis is that he came to an already world-class team and he made them even better. When I see them play now, Barcelona would not be the same team without Luis Suarez. Like all world-class players, they always find a space. You can have tactical ideas, you can park two double-decker buses in front of the goal, but I think that sometimes the best players in the world will always find a space. You have to try and do as much as you can to negate that and be as aggressive as you can in order to stop them and that is something we hope we will do but he is the best striker in the world at this moment in time, I don't think there is any question in that.”

Celtic face Barcelona at the Nou Camp in their opening game of Champions League Group C on Tuesday and Rodgers admits that Suarez could prove unstoppable.
