Ajax Liverpool World Cup
Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has paid a glowing tribute to teammate Luis Suarez.
Lucas is currently in his homeland preparing for this summer's Copa America, a tournament that could well see him come face to face with his new teammate Luis Suarez.
"It's something we've talked about and we might be facing each other in the quarter-finals or the semis," Lucas told liverpoolfc.tv. "It would be a great occasion as Luis and I have a very good relationship but hopefully Brazil will do better."
He added: "Luis has only been at Liverpool four months but what's he done already is amazing.
"We all knew when he signed that we had got a really good striker. He had proved that at the World Cup and at Ajax where he scored a lot of goals.
"But he has settled so quickly and you can see he really feels at home.
"It's great because you can play the ball to him and he creates things for us. Luis has been really important for us and the fans already love him.
"Opponents will know him better next season and that will make it harder for him. But I'm sure he will be able to cope with that.
"Luis is only 24 and still improving. I'm sure next season he will be able to play at a really high level.
"We will all try to help him to do things and score goals. He will be a key player for us next season and he will start off with a lot of confidence because of what he's achieved in the last few months."
