Luis Suárez: "Find me a striker who isn't selfish"
Luis Suárez explains how he adapted to a team like FC Barcelona which already had stars such as Neymar and Messi
FC Barcelona's striker Luis Suarez has explained how he adapted to life at Barça, sharing a dressing room with Messi and Neymar. In an interview with 'Otro', Suarez also wanted to defend the role of a striker.
"To find a striker who isn't selfish is difficult. Reality has shown us that you must be a good teammate, thinking about the team, what happens on the pitch and to put your teammates needs ahead of your own."
"There are now movements you make out on the pitch which your teammates already know about. You need to value your teammates' work, the one who is running a lot further up the pitch and isn't, for example, stood still (waiting for the ball). You must keep running if you want to win matches and titles," added Suarez.
In terms of adapting to life at Barça, the Uruguayan said this: "I came to Barcelona and they already had Neymar and Messi in the team. I asked, 'And where am I going to play?' Working hard, fighting, running and finding space I was able adapt to two of the best players in the world. It was just a question of adapting and being intelligent."
"The one language we all understand is compromise. You need to be a team player, working together for the same objective and you'll achieve important things in football," concluded Suarez.
