Liverpool skipper Gerrard: Suarez plays and trains like a champion

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard loves the energy Luis Suarez displays in matches and training.

Since moving to Merseyside on January's transfer deadline day, Suarez has established himself as a fans' favourite on the Kop.

But it's not just his ability that has won over supporters, with the 24-year-old's desire and determination to win further endearing him to the Anfield faithful.

"You look at Zidane, Rooney - it's just the way they are," Gerrard told LFC Weekly. "The players that don't have the edge lack something, that sparkle or fire in their belly.

"That's what makes Luis who he is. He's a fighter and despite having a lot of skill, he's a worker as well. That's what separates him from others."
