May 2 News Recently, Suarez was interviewed by Simplementefútbol YouTube channel, and he reviewed several important moments in his career, including his collaboration with Simeone at Atletico Madrid and his pleasant experience of returning to the National Team.

Suarez first reviewed his time at Atletico Madrid. In 2020, after leaving Barcelona, ​​he joined Atletico Madrid: "Attend Atletico Madrid was a huge spiritual inspiration for me, the club opened the door to me, and my family and I were very grateful."

"It was indeed a difficult and sad moment when I left Barcelona, ​​but as a professional player, I still do my best to do my job well. The coaches and teammates helped me a lot at Atletico, and we eventually won our first league championship in many years. It was a wonderful turn."

During our time at Atletico, Suarez was guided by Simeone. He said that Simeone had very high requirements for players, but this way of working and motivation was exactly what he liked: "Simone is a coach who taught me a lot. You can discuss and exchange opinions on certain aspects, but he and the physical coach helped me stay in shape and released the urge to prove that I was still outstanding. The performance that season was amazing."

Suarez also shared some interesting things about the Argentine coach: "When we played against Alaves away during the epidemic, there was no audience in the stands, and all the voices could be heard clearly. Every time the ball was passed to me, he I would shout, ‘Play better, play better’. ”

“Once, when I received a long pass and started running, I heard his voice. I thought to try to handle the ball well. I saw that the ball was about to land and the opponent's goalkeeper was rushing towards me and I almost got knocked down. But for him, the important thing is not to remind me to be 'be careful', but to emphasize 'Play better', which is one of the many things he often says to us. ”

After leaving Atletico Madrid, Suarez returned to Uruguay and put on the National Team jersey again, which is where his career started: “I see this return as going back to where everything started. It was an unforgettable experience for me, and for my family and for my children. "

" After four months in the National Team, my kids didn't want to leave. It was also a wonderful thing for the club and Uruguayan football, because it had a huge impact on the development of South American football." Suarez specifically mentioned: "People said I once said I wouldn't come back, no, I said I wouldn't come back for retirement. I came back when I felt able to continue to perform, and those months were great. It also prepared me for the World Cup in Qatar, and I really enjoyed that time Light. "

Finally, Suarez talked about the Uruguay national team and how the new generation of players inherited the values ​​of their predecessors: "Our generation has taken over the baton of Lugano, Fran, Abru and others."

" And they learned from Montero, Rodriguez or Recoba. Now it's the turn of De La Cruz, Gimenis, Rochet and Nandez to pass on these experiences."

" The Uruguayans are very humble in this regard and always imitate good role models. We have a good team, and we are always the focus of everyone's attention no matter what league or team we are in."
