Luis Suárez spoke about the divine and the human: about his departure from FC Barcelona, about the way he went through everything and his feelings about it, about what he found at Atlético de Madrid that he opened his arms and now enjoys his best version and, of course, his friend Lionel Messi.
In an interview with El Transistor de Onda Cero, the Uruguayan lamented the leak of the millionaire contract of Lionel Messi in the newspaper El Mundo de Madrid.
“I was surprised, I don’t see any reason for him. I don’t understand that people are so bad at taking something so private from a person. A player is not above a club but what Messi has done for Barça is not ‘no player has been given to any club,’ ‘he said.
He, who speaks daily with the Argentine, knows what’s on his mind: “He’s fine, happy. As a friend I’m glad for the level he’s showing, for something he’s the best in the world. He has to take a decision, in the 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 dressing room of Barcelona and events confirm this: “they said we made decisions and not. Do what they want (said Messi), I was not asked, he said that he did not make decisions like the four captains. For some reason things were given as they were given, things will not have been done well “, he said about the resignation of Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Suárez left a separate chapter due to his traumatic departure from FC Barcelona.
“When Barça made it official that they didn’t count on me, the talks with Atlético began. I wanted to make the right decision, the one that best suited me and my family. When Barça told me they didn’t count on me it was hard, I didn’t expect it, it was a very difficult time for the forms. Koeman called me and told me he didn’t count on me, “he explained.
“The way it was treated, I was despised. My wife and my children saw me go sad to train and then it was time to warn my children of the change. I didn’t put none but I wanted to make things easier, I didn’t want to make a problem “, the Uruguayan confessed.
“I could perfectly have stayed at Barcelona, but I believed in my conditions, I can end up playing, but at the very least the team is doing badly and Suárez is the starter, who they are going to attack, Suárez. I needed a change out of self-pride and to prove what I am worth, ”he added.
But FC Barcelona is already a closed chapter, as confirmed by its 14 goals with Atlético de Madrid, who have it as Laliga’s pitcher, commanded by the ‘mattresses’. “After coming from days of sadness, I changed the chip with new challenges, a club that struggles with important things and people wanted me to be there, I tried to help the team,” he concluded.
