Luis Suárez, striker for Atlético de Madrid, conducted an interview for ESPN in which he talked about his current moment at the rojiblanco club.
Her future
“I continue to see myself enjoying the moment that I am living today in the football elite, because being at Atlético you are still in the football elite. Some did not believe that he could continue to be. I continue to see myself with the same desire, I hope to continue this, next year and whatever years it may be, competing to the maximum until one is aware and realizes that this is where it has come. But no one is going to get me out, I'm going to decide ”.
Form moment
“I did not expect to be at this moment that I am living at Atlético today, but I am enjoying it a lot and I am grateful because both the coaching staff and the teammates believe in me, they trust me and that is something that one tries to pay for with goals or with what to be”.

Winning character
“I am one of those players who has always characterized myself for being a tough head. In the sense that when I try two, three, four times and it does not come out, I am not one of those players who will lower their head or disappear. I'm going to keep trying because it was my way of being since I was a kid. They criticized me when I was 18 years old and the coaches I had, like Martín Lasarte, answered: “But don't look at the goals that the 18-year-old boy is making mistakes, who errs 7 or 8, look at the third or fourth he continues to insist. These are things that will make him go far ”.
Relationship with Simeone
“Obviously each coach has his way of being and his football philosophy. Cholo is a coach, he generates a lot of confidence in the player, he generates him to give more than he can give and that is what he transmits to you. When it comes to setting up the matches, he corrects many things for you. At my age, he continues to correct things and I accept them without any problem because he is the coach for something. One is there to help because a capable person who thinks that with his age he has everything done, but there are tactical details that one has to learn and the coach is there for something ”.

Uruguay-Argentina connection
“The Uruguayan and the Argentine have the intense way of living the games and that does not vary much. What changes you is that there are times when you have a coach who can explain a situation to you, who tells you: “if you hit there between those two defenses, you can generate a scoring chance”. The coach speaks to you like this, but then you have the other coach who tells you: “Click there between those two, that you are going to score the goal and you're going to score another two or three more.” Those are coaches that motivate you, that excite you and those are messages that come to you and give you a lot ”.
Hector Herrera
“Everyone knows the technical conditions and the playing skills that Héctor has. It's difficult when you come from a different league and you come to a team where you work a lot. It may be that (in the first season) he did not have as many possibilities as he is having this year, but this year he took advantage of the possibilities he had. The coach was very happy with him. He had the misfortune of having the injury and now the COVID, but he is a player who is contributing a lot on a defensive and offensive level to the team. We are very happy with him ”.
