Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi are
certainly one of the most lethal attacking duo in European football, but they
are more than teammates. In an interview with Sport, Suarez
revealed he is close to Messi both on and off the pitch. He told Sport, "We don't only talk
about football. We talk about the past, the future. We're humans that, aside
from being teammates, we're good friends who have a lot in common.
"Not only that but sometimes our
wives are doing things we're left alone. In my house or his drinking mate. We
can be sat talking for two or three hours. But I always say this: a lot of
people see him as Messi but for me, he's simply Leo."
Suarez also talked
about a trait of Messi's that has helped him (Suarez), and that is being
relaxed. He said, "I think it's helped me to see how relaxed he is
in matches.
"Sometimes I thought that you need
to be focused the day before, or a few hours before the match.
"That's what happened with me at
Liverpool, with the national team and all of my previous clubs.
"And I think to see the atmosphere
here, to see everyone focused, knowing what they have to do, but in a more
relaxed environment has helped me."
Suarez was also asked if he thought
Neymar would return to Barcelona at some point. The former Liverpool man
responded saying, "In football, I always say that you never know
what could happen. Right now he's enjoying life in Paris a lot. His objectives
are clear. But obviously, as a teammate, friend or a fan of football you want
the best at your side. But this is hypothetical and you never know."
