La charla de Gerrard que cambió el futuro de Suárez: “Hazme caso, yo estuve a punto de irme al Madrid…”

El actual futbolista del Inter de Miami ha realizado una entrevista para el ‘streamer’ Davoo Xeneize, donde ahonda acerca de la etapa de su carrera que se marcha del FC Barcelona. “Lo sufrí mucho, pero por algo tuvo que pasar, no vivo en el rencor ni en el pasado“, asegura Luis Suárez.

El delantero uruguayo se fue del club catalán en el año 2020 de mala forma, después de haber sido uno de los máximos goleadores del equipo. “Sentía que podía seguir dándole cosas al club y que estaba a la altura de lo que pedían“, indica el jugador.

Ese padecer tuvo mucho que ver con el dolor de sus seres queridos dado que tenían que abandonar la ciudad donde habían vivido durante seis años. “La familia sufrió mucho el cambio. Yo soy un ser humano como cualquier otro. Y sentía amargura por ver a mis hijos mal“, sostiene Suárez.

La llegada al Atlético de Madrid

El futbolista uruguayo aterrizó esa misma temporada al club rojiblanco donde se sintió muy querido. “Me fui a un equipo que me abrió los brazos de una manera espectacular“, comenta el delantero.

Quería demostrarle al Barcelona que se había equivocado conmigo”

Luis Suárez

Luis Suárez afrontaba la campaña 2020/21 con muchas ganas a pesar de los malos momentos. “Quería demostrarle al Barcelona que se había equivocado conmigo“, afirma. De hecho, esa confianza que le otorgó el Atlético de Madrid desde el principio la devolvió con goles y títulos.

En 2021, el equipo rojiblanco se proclamó campeón de LaLiga con un Luis Suárez estelar. Y la temporada siguiente se despidió del club sobre el césped con un homenaje muy emotivo. “Fue un desahogo de todo lo vivido ese año“, concluye el delantero.

Su adiós al Liverpool

En 2012 estuvo a punto de irse a la Juventus, pero el técnico por aquel entonces del conjunto red le convenció. “Brendan Rodgers me convenció con sus ideas de fútbol, me decía cosas que yo veía que me podían ayudar”.

Gerrard me dijo ‘haceme caso, yo también estuve a punto de irme al Madrid y a otros sitios, pero la mejor decisión es que te quedes este año porque irte al Arsenal no te va a ayudar en nada a tu carrera

Luis Suárez

Un año más tarde le sucedió lo mismo con Arsenal, y hasta lo declaró públicamente, pero una charla con Gerrard lo cambió todo: “Quería ir porque jugaban todos los años Champions, pero un día, en un entrenamiento, vino Gerrard, y por eso para mí es uno de los top allá arriba, y me dijo: ‘haceme caso, yo también estuve para irme al Madrid y a otros sitios, pero la mejor decisión es que te quedes este año porque irte al Arsenal no te va a ayudar en nada a tu carrera; si te quedás, el año que viene vas a decidir si te querés ir al Bayern Múnich, al Real Madrid o al Barcelona’. Ese día llegué llorando a casa y le dije a mi mujer que me iba a quedar”.

La salud mental 

“Mentalmente tienes que estar fuerte”, señaló sobre la sanción de cuatro meses que tuvo por morder a Giorgio Chiellini y que no le permitió jugar al inicio de la temporada en su llegada al Barcelona. “A los futbolistas no nos preparan desde chicos, aunque ahora sí ha evolucionado y se agradece. Mi fortaleza siempre fue asumir mis errores”, añadió.

Las redes sociales son muy fuertes, me decían ‘mira ese gordo, que no juegue más’…”

Luis Suárez

“Estuve trabajando mucho tiempo con una psicóloga y me ayudó. Ni siquiera estamos preparados para el retiro, porque nos duele llegar a ese momento. Las redes sociales son muy fuertes y el consumo es muy alto. Estar detrás de una pantalla diciendo ‘mirá este gordo, que no juegue más’ es fácil, pero no saben el daño que le hacen a esa persona”, contó.

Ranking rookie QB performances from NFL preseason Week 3: Shedeur Sanders struggles, Dillon Gabriel shines

The NFL preseason is officially in the books, and we are just south of two weeks away from the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Dallas Cowboys to kick off the regular season on Sept. 4. Just because the season is now right in front of us, though, doesn't mean we can't look backward to what just happened. With that in mind, we're going to once again take a look at the rookie quarterbacks and what they did in Week 3 of the preseason. From No. 1 pick Cameron Ward to No. 231 Quinn Ewers, we're diving into what each of the 11 passers who played in Week 3 did with their opportunities. Even though it's just preseason and most of this stuff doesn't necessarily translate to the regular season, in the space below, we're going to highlight all of the […]

Najee Harris ‘on track’ for Week 1 after fireworks injury, Chargers hopeful RB plays against Chiefs

Imagn Images Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris may not miss time this season after his July 4 fireworks accident, which caused a superficial injury to his eye. Chargers staff members have been coy about his status for the season opener during his recovery, but general manager Joe Hortiz delivered Saturday a promising update that indicated Harris is trending toward making his team debut in Week 1.The update paints a clearer picture of Harris' timeline than coach Jim Harbaugh's most recent comments. The second-year Chargers headman said on Aug. 8 that "there's a chance" Harris will be ready to suit up for the opener against the reigning AFC champion and division rival Kansas City Chiefs."Najee's doing great, going through all the medical processes," Hortiz said during Saturday's preseason game. "But he's on track, and I think he should be […]

Jets trade Derrick Nnadi to Chiefs for draft picks: Veteran DT heads back to Kansas City

Getty Images The Kansas City Chiefs pounced on an opportunity to welcome back a fan favorite  and made it happen Sunday after acquiring Derrick Nnadi from the New York Jets in a trade that includes future NFL Draft picks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The move was possible for the Jets after they bolstered their defensive front with two recent additions — Jowon Briggs from the Cleveland Browns and Harrison Phillips from the Minnesota Vikings.Nnadi signed with New York in March as one of the NFL's most durable players at the position. He played in all 17 regular-season games each of the past four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and missed just one game over his entire seven-year tenure with the franchise previously. Given the depth of the Chiefs' defensive front, Nnadi saw his role reduced last season after playing a career-low […]

How to bet on the Jaguars in 2025: Super Bowl odds, win total, props, best bets, picks for Jacksonville

The Jacksonville Jaguars needed more impact talent on both sides of the ball when they entered the offseason. They may have killed two birds with one stone thanks to an aggressive move in the draft. Entering this year's draft with the fifth overall pick, Jacksonville moved up three spots to nab wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall. The plan appears to be for Hunter to focus on receiver at first while mixing in at cornerback. That gives Trevor Lawrence two young star-level receivers in Hunter and 2024 standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr.The offense will also look different in 2025 as the Jags have a new head coach and play-caller in Liam Coen, who was the Buccaneers last year. Coen left Tampa Bay for Jacksonville in dramatic fashion, according to reports, as he apparently agreed to an extension to be the highest-paid coordinator in the […]
