Braithwaite: “I want to play with Suarez and learn from him”

FC Barcelona player Martin Braithwaite has assured that he wants to play again and to be able to do it together with striker Luis Suárez, who already has a medical discharge and, in principle, would take minutes from the Danish player. “I am very happy that Luis Suárez returns because when I came he was injured and we still have not been able to play together. I want to play alongside him and learn from him, he is one of the best strikers in the world, “he said in statements to 'goal.com' collected by Europa Press. Braithwaite was going to have some weight in the team, arriving in February with Suárez injured and occupying the tab of Dembélé, who was low for the entire season. But the stoppage caused by the coronavirus cut his wings and, now that football is back, Suárez is recovered. However, he claimed to be “fine” and ready for that challenge of looking for the minutes of play.

In addition, he also highlighted the power and tranquility that gives the group having Leo Messi, who despite physical discomfort aims to be able to play in the 'debut' against RCD Mallorca. “Leo gives the team a lot of confidence because he can make a difference at any time,” he said. “He helps me a lot to be a better player with his advice and the way he sees football. He is a true inspiration for me, “he reiterated in this regard about his captain, who has helped him adapt to the” world's largest team. “Thus, LaLiga faces the ambition to fight for the title, when in January, in the Leganés, struggled to avoid descent.

I try to be positive in any negative situation. The most important thing for me was to be able to be together with my family,” he said.
