Antonio Rudiger on Luis Suarez and Joao Felix: “He is a world-class player and he has shown that at every club he has been at. He has a lot of fight in him. He’s a tough opponent. The attack is not only Luis Suarez, it’s Joao Felix who is a great talent and a good young prospect. He is a different type of player but a player I love to watch because of his technique. He has something special.”
