Enrique: Suarez is our main man
– Liverpool defender Jose Enrique speaking to Press AssociationOf course we want to keep him [Suarez]. He is our key player.
We've not had a great season in terms of our league position but Luis is there as our top scorer.
For me he can play in any team in the world. If I was a manager I would have him anywhere. Not only for his goals but for how his character is.
He is the type of player like if you play with Messi: he does impossible things. He does something out of nothing.
I think if we keep him we will have a good season next season, for sure.
We don't want to lose Luis because he is a top player but you never know.
