Suarez admits: I cried about Barcelona's way of dispensing with my services
Uruguay star Luis Suarez admitted that he cried because of the way in which he was dismissed from the ranks of Barcelona, before moving to his neighbor Atletico Madrid, indicating that he was not surprised by the support he received from his former colleague, Argentine star Lionel Messi.
And after he scored 198 goals in the ranks of the Catalan team, which he moved to in the summer of 2014, which made him the third best scorer in the history of the club, Suárez knew through the Spanish newspapers that he was no longer in the plans of the new Dutch coach Ronald Koeman before he spoke for a few minutes by phone with the latter. .
Suarez said after scoring one of his country's two goals against Chile in the South American qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, "The way things were done by feeling you fired is what hurts me the most. Those days were very difficult. I cried because of everything that happened to me."
Messi criticized his club’s decision to dispense with Suarez’s services, noting that he was no longer "something that would surprise him from now on," due to the confusion experienced by the club's management headed by Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Suarez commented on Messi's support for him, "The way the club acted towards me was not good and it bothered Messi as well."
"He knows how difficult the time we spent together. I was not surprised to support me because I know him very well. I am fully aware of the pain he felt," he added.
He concluded, "Some things do not realize many people, but going to Barcelona and asking you to train alone because you will not go to the first-team match is not easy. My wife saw how sad and disgusted I was. All I wanted to laugh and be happy on the field again." I had no doubts when I had the opportunity to join Atletico Madrid. "
Suarez scored two goals in his first official match with Atlético and helped create one of the other goals.
