About a year ago, Ronald Koeman, the new FC Barcelona coach, called Luis Suarez, one of the best strikers in the club's history, to tell him that he does not see a place for him in the squad because he thinks he is too old and does not present the appropriate level for a club like Barcelona. Koeman advised him that Suarez should now look for a new club outside Europe to earn good money at the end of his career!
What was the Uruguayan's reaction?
Well, he suggested to the new Barcelona coach that he could be a reserve player and help the team that way.
Koeman disagreed and told Luis he needed to find a new club.
Then Suarez announced that no one but him would decide what was possible for him and what was not, and that he would prove to the world that the Dutch coach was wrong in thinking that he was no longer good enough to play for one of the best clubs in Spain. !
Suarez, despite many financially higher offers from Arab countries, China and the USA, decided to choose Atletico Madrid and play for one of the most demanding coaches in the world, Diego Simeone!
When most people thought that 34-year-old Suarez would not be able to withstand the intensity of Simeone's training sessions, it turned out to be something completely different!
Luis Suarez scored 21 goals for Atletico at 34 and won the Spanish championship with the club from Madrid!
Barcelona was only in 3rd place!
In addition, last Saturday, Atletico once again beat Barcelona 2-0 and Suarez scored and assisted.
After the goal was scored, the Uruguayan put his fingers to his ear showing the phone to remind him of how Koeman informed him that he had to leave Barcelona.
On Saturday it turned out once again that Suarez was right and no one but himself can decide what is possible for him and what is not!
