Newcastle United flop Albert Luque has guarded Liverpool biter Luis Suarez. Liverpool striker Suarez has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association over his biting of Chelsea opponent Branislav IvanovicAin Sunday's Barclays Premier League match. Albert Luque enjoyed Suarez at Ajax and the couple were in an on-field confrontation in a match against Feyenoord. A contest between the couple over having a free-kick brought to them coming to blows in the dressing room at half-time and they had to be divided by team-mates. They were both replaced at the break and hit with heavy penalties by Ajax. But Luque, who wore the quantity 7 shirt now used by Moussa Sissoko for Newcastle United, reckons Suarez is a "good guy." He said: "We were friends before and after this event and it absolutely was the only real time I ever had a problem with him. "After that game he admitted he was wrong and said sorry since that's the type of guy he's. He's an excellent person, and mistakes are all made by us. "He was silent in the dressing room and kept to himself, but when he gets onto the message he's transformed. "He battles for every thing, he is very physical, and what happened with Ivanovic was regrettable, but I am sure he didn't get it done with any bad intentions or in bad faith. "Luis is a player who lives baseball 100 percent. He plays with plenty of right and power to the control. We know Luis is capable of doing anything to get a game title and sometimes he does things in the heat of the minute, but he's the type of player I'd always want within my team." Luque, a former Spain global who spent 2 yrs atANewcastle, said the event was being blown out of proportion, despite the fact that Suarez was prohibited for eight matches while at Ajax for biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal. "In the Premier League everything is exaggerated a great deal and maybe this gets more protection since it is not initially something such as this has happened to Luis," he added. "There is no need to give more importance to it. He has said sorry and that is for the better. It's only an anecdote." He told Liverpool to help keep hold of the gamer, adding: "If he left Liverpool they'd find it tough to find someone of the exact same quality as him."
