Luis Enrique reminds journalists they dubbed Luis Suarez 'overweight'
The Barça coach lauded the Uruguayan for the amount of goals he's scored since joining in 2014
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique gave the club a medal for the signing of Luis Suarez after the Uruguayan striker brought up his 100th goal for the club in his 120th game in midweek.
Luis Enrique, speaking ahead of the game against Las Palmas on Saturday, couldn't speak higher of Suarez's record.
“I mean 100 goals in 120 games, amazing. It’s outrageous, some people [couldn’t score that many] in training and without a goalkeeper, so you can see it was good decision to sign him, not just as a player, but as a person,” the Barça coach said.
“When he first arrived you said he was overweight; now you’re trying to find adjectives to describe how good he’s been.
"Very few players in the world could get the sort of numbers he's managed. Those of us that decided to take a punt on hin, we didn't make a mistake."
