Luis Suárez talked about the divine and the human: about his departure from FC Barcelona, about the way everything happened and about his feelings about it, about what he found in an Atlético de Madrid that opened his arms to him and now enjoys his best version and of course his friend Lionel Messi.
In an interview with Onda Cero’s El Transistor, the Uruguayan complained about the leak of Lionel Messi’s millionaire contract to the Madrid newspaper El Mundo.
“I was surprised, I don’t see any reason. I don’t understand that people are so bad to take something so personal from a person. A player is not above a club, but what Messi has done for Barça, he cannot take him no. player for every club, ”he said.
He, who talks to the Argentinian on a daily basis, knows what’s going on in his head: “He’s fine, happy. As a friend, I’m happy with the level he’s showing for something that he’s the best in the world. A decision, in a future I don’t know if we will meet, ”he said.
Speaking of decisions, the Uruguayan denied that he and Messi were in charge of the Barcelona locker room and events confirm it: “they said we made decisions and no. Do what they want (Messi said), they didn’t ask me, she said I didn’t make decisions in the same way as the four captains. If something happened as they did, things will not have been done right, “he said of Josep Maria Bartomeu’s resignation.
Suárez has left a separate chapter for his traumatic departure from FC Barcelona.
“When Barça made official that they were not counting on me, talks with Atleti started. I wanted to make the right decision, which was best for me and my family. When Barça told me they weren’t counting on me, it was. Difficult, I didn’t expect it. They were very difficult moments because of the shapes. Koeman called me and told me he wasn’t counting on me, “he said.
“In the way it was handled, I was despised. My wife and my kids saw me getting sad to exercise and then it was time to let my kids know about the change. I didn’t do one, but I wanted to make things easier, I didn’t want to do a problem, ”the Uruguayan admitted.
“I could have stayed perfectly in Barcelona, but I believed in my circumstances, I could play, but at least the team is going wrong and Suárez is the starter, they are going to attack, Suárez. A change from his own pride and about prove my worth, ” he added.
But FC Barcelona is already a closed chapter, as confirmed by his 14 goals with Atlético de Madrid, which have him as the top scorer in LaLiga, led by the ‘colchoneros’. “After coming from days of grief, I changed the chip with new challenges, a club fighting for important things and people wanted me to be there, I tried to help the team,” he concluded.
