Luis Suárez is
still hurt by the way he had to leave
Barcelona
.
The Uruguayan forward criticized the directors of the Barca club and assured that although he would not "shout a goal" at his former team, he would point out those he considers responsible for his departure.
"I had been at Barcelona for six years and I never had a problem, on the contrary. For three years I have been saying that Barcelona needs a young '9' to adapt. They never brought someone who could compete with me, I was always at the height of what the club needed ", the Atlético de Madrid striker was sent to the ESPN channel.
"I deserved the respect that I had earned on the pitch before I found out from the press.
That a coach comes saying that he does not count on me when the board of directors said that there was going to be a change of players raises questions about whether he was the coach or the directive,
"he added.
The scorer assured that "not crazy" would have signed for Real Madrid and that, in case of scoring a goal against the Catalan team, he would not shout it.
"But it would point somewhere," he said.
"I don't understand that they want to separate me from Messi"
He also suggested that his "great relationship" with
Lionel Messi
may have influenced the determination to declare him expendable.
"We were constantly looking for each other, but for the good of the team. They may have wanted me to play with more teammates. That may be something that has to do with it. I can't find any reason for them to want to separate us because we got along well on the pitch," he analyzed.
The Uruguayan said that Messi had a "difficult" and "complicated" moment when he announced his intention to leave Barcelona and that the club should have respected his wish to change teams.
He also gave his opinion about his new coach at Atlético de Madrid, Argentine
Diego Simeone
, and stated that he was "not surprised at all" by his way of working because he already knew what kind of coach he is.
"He is very strict, he worked a lot on the tactical part. I found a very good human group, with a lot of desire and a lot of ambition, wanting to grow and win things," he said.
