After the resounding fall of the Barcelona in the Champions League humiliated by Bayern Munich and the internal earthquake that this has created in the Catalan club, several of the glances have pointed to the forward Luis Suarez, who had surgery on an injury and his performance dropped dramatically. In addition to being questioned for his closeness to Lionel Messi and a supposed immunity that that gives him.
The Uruguayan dialogue by mail with the newspaper El País of Spain and revealed all his feelings for the Barcelona crisis and what may come for his future, ensuring that he wants to stay at the club.

When asked if he considered it fair to negotiate his departure as Barcelona’s third historic scorer, he pointed out: “The goals are important in any team, but the demand in Barcelona is absolute. As a striker, I not only try to score goals but also help the team in other ways. There is talk of some names that the president gave, of changes that can be made, but nobody told me that they want to do without me; If this is the desire of the club, it would be good if the person in charge you choose speaks directly to me. I’ve been at Barça for six years, enough time to say what they think. Better so filter if I am one of those who want me out. It remains to be seen. I also want the best for the club and my idea today is to continue, but if the club thinks that I am expendable, I have no problem talking to those who decide ”.
Then he expressed his pain for the situation of Barcelona, but did not want to be the only one pointed out and responded to a possible substitution: “When it is lost as it was lost in Lisbon, we are all responsible. That is clear, it would not be fair to single out one player or someone from the club. Sometimes it does seem that they want to personalize, but honestly I think that nobody can doubt my commitment to Barcelona. Obviously I would accept to be a substitute … I would accept it here as I always accept it in my career. Competition is always good and if the coach considers that I should start from the bench, I have no problem helping with the role they give me. I think I can still contribute a lot to this club ”.

The most controversial answer was left when they asked him about the “heavyweights” in the dressing room and his relationship with Lionel Messi: “They talk about heavyweights, they look at all those who have been in the club the longest. It is normal, but there is a lot of deception in all that because in reality everything changes from one year to the next. I don’t like to compare, each place is different, but I remember that in Madrid the year that Ajax eliminated them from the Champions League they said that Kroos was finished, they wanted to retire Modric, they said that Ramos was a disaster and suddenly he was no longer worth No player. And the following year everything went better and again they were all phenomena and formed a legendary team. And of course it was and they are a great team, but with the defeat it is already known that it shoots against everything and everyone. And it’s a shame because that’s the way it is all the time, people have opinions on everything and above all they can be judged very easily: what is white today, tomorrow is black and vice versa. I honestly think that sometimes there is a lack of coherence, patience and especially memory. When there is a lack of knowledge or arguments to explain things in depth, an easy and simple reason is usually taken, a phrase to repeat, but football is more complex. And, on the other hand, being a friend of Leo is a pride for me, because there are no friends on the field, there are teammates and we are here to help each other with a common goal. And, off the court, I am extremely lucky to have as a friend an excellent person like Leo, a friendship that goes beyond playing together today, which is something circumstantial.
And the Uruguayan closed by expressing his desire to stay in the club as long as he can continue contributing; he is still recovering from his physical condition, but has not had the first word with Ronald Koeman, the new helmsman of the Catalan club.
