On his parents and childhood

My parents separated when I was nine, but my father was always around, and he still follows me now. He is always sending me messages.

When I was a kid, I got sent off for head-butting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card, and I head-butted him. I'm really not proud of that.

When I was a kid, I had to fight for everything.

I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.

It was very hard for me as a kid to get through as a footballer in Uruguay.

When I was a kid, there were some people around me who were a bad influence. When I met my girlfriend Sofia, who is now my wife, I think it all changed. She was very important for me, because she steered me back on to the path I wanted to be on.

We don't even get food for 2 times a day, still I didn't give up and continued to play football

On his wife and children

Away from the pitch, I'm a very calm person. I maybe have the odd cross word with my wife, like any relationship, but that's it.

I think the people who really know who Luis is are the people who are by my side, who have always been by my side.

Of course I don't like the fact that my wife goes to the supermarket and there are photographers. But I realise that the press attention is the same wherever you go.

I wanted my children to be able to see me play at the World Cup.

It's especially important for my little girl to see her papa at work.

My wife says that if people reach conclusions as to what I am like based on what they see from me on the pitch they would say I am a guy who is always annoyed, always in a bad mood, they’d say what must it be like to live with me. There are two of me, two different people.

On his personality

If you score 20 goals one season, then you have to promise yourself that in the following season you will get 25.

I have always preferred to keep things to myself rather than sharing them with anyone, but I am learning that if you let it go, you feel better for it. Don't keep it all bottled up inside; don't take it all on alone.

I think all the bad things I have been through are in the past. I believe I am on the right path now, dealing with the people who can help me, the right kind of people.

Injuries are not only a physical question, which is the most important thing, of course, but also a question of your mind. If you're thinking: 'I'm not going to make it', 'I can't cope', 'it hurts', 'it's never going to get better', then it won't.

I'm an emotional person, and I externalise my feelings a lot with some things, but I'm strong with others.

I still sleep soundly every night. I'm not worried about everything people say.

I don't read the papers or watch TV.

best Luis Suarez quotes

about football and his own style and his career spells with Liverpool, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

On Football and his playing style

Every soccer player can be on the edge, at the limit, be the bad guy. We have to get used to it. Sometimes I am one of those.

I have a very strange way of playing football.

I am obviously a striker who likes to score a lot of goals and have done that in every team I have been with.

People ask, 'How can you let a defeat hurt you so much?' But it comes back to the effort you have put into your career as a youngster.

On the field, sometimes passion overwhelms you, and you do things you regret afterward.

I've been obsessed by football since I was young.

It is always a bit hypocritical when a defender who spends the whole game kicking you complains of being kicked.

Every forward is selfish, and any forward who tells you he is not selfish is a liar.

There are people who criticize me, and that's normal because of the way I am on the pitch. I get angry, I get tense.

I normally try to be tranquil on the pitch.

Coaches have told me I can help the team much more if I don't talk, if I don't moan.

On the pitch, I argue, I shout, I talk rubbish and generally do anything I can to get ahead.

I will give my soul every game.

I'm used to being the main goal scorer, but I also always like to help.

Obviously, being a forward, I would like to score more goals. But while the team does well, there is no problem.

My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season, and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years.

Every player feels differently about playing football. We are all different people. I am the type who wants to win all the time. I hate to lose.

I swear on my children's lives that I never look at the statistics or look at beating anyone's records. All I do is look to improve but not compete against any record. I want to win trophies and score goals because that's my job as a forward.

You just can't believe how quickly things happen in football and the way life turns. I went from being the bad guy, the worst player who gets all the criticism, to being the player who makes the difference and scores the important goals.

Luis Suarez famous quotes on His time at Liverpool

At clubs like Liverpool, great players come and go.

I think Liverpool have a long history with many great players. I hope one day to be up there with those great players. I'll try my best to write some history here.

My first season at Liverpool had good moments but also bad ones. We played three tournaments and we played two finals, and that was good.

Liverpool will always be special for me: my daughter was born here.

It disturbs me that Liverpool are not in the

and fighting for the Premier League.

I'm not going to another club to hurt Liverpool.

It's a huge honour to wear No 7 at Liverpool. I think about the legends: Dalglish, Keegan and that Australian guy.

My desire at Liverpool was to help get the club playing in the elite because they had been five years without it. We used to talk about it in the dressing room. If Liverpool are not in the Champions League, it is difficult to get the best players to come to the club.

It was a dream to arrive at Liverpool but I never wanted to just settle for what I had achieved. I wanted more.

I never told you this but I always thought the club should have recognized you far more when you retired. For the career that you had, one of Liverpool’s greatest players, you should have had a much bigger and better send-off in your final match. That’s just what I felt.

On his famous biting and racism controversies

After my 10-match ban in 2013 for biting Branislav Ivanovic, I had questioned the double standards and how the fact that no one actually gets hurt is never taken into consideration.

Put 'Luis Suarez' into an Internet search engine, and up comes the word 'racist.' It's a stain that is there forever. And it is one that I feel I do not deserve.

I have been hit from all sides, and I'm only human. They have ended up talking about the way I look, and it hurts. I have a family, and they suffer, too. It has gone over the limit, and I am tired of it. I have a wife and child, too, and I am not prepared to go on putting up with it English journalists.

I want to change the bad boy image that has stuck for a bit because I don't think I am at all how I have been portrayed. I would like that to change because it's awful to hear and read what is said of you.

I understand why biting is seen so badly.

Look, there’s no rule in soccer against biting your opponent. There’s not even a rule against eating your opponent. The only rule in soccer is that you can’t use your hands.

I lost my balance, making my body unstable and falling on top of my opponent. At that moment I hit my face against the player leaving a small bruise on my cheek and a strong pain in my teeth.

Luis Suarez famous quotes on Lionel Messi, the MSN and his time at Barcelona

All I can say is that I have arrived with the desire to be a success at Barca, that I am hungry to win titles.

Barcelona are always a candidate to win the Champions League.

Everything you see comes from inside. People don’t see it but inside the dressing room we laugh and joke a lot so it’s not just for the cameras. It’s the way things are off the pitch too. We are happy for each other, it is all natural.

At first I didn’t think I was going to fit into Barcelona’s way of playing. There was a lot of Tiki-taka and I was thinking that without a lot of space to play in, I’d find it more difficult. I worried about that.

I want to be remembered for the good things - for winning the Champions League, for winning five of the first six trophies at Barcelona. I could win another Champions League and I want to go on making history. It goes back to the feeling of more responsibility at Liverpool. I felt I had to suffer more to not be criticised but here the responsibility falls on others too and I can enjoy it more.

I've got a magnificent relationship with Leo (Messi) and Ney (Neymar). They drive the team, with Andres Iniesta as well - what a player. You know if you have a good relationship with them off the pitch it will be that way on the pitch too. They took it as a sign that I had come to help them, not to compete with them.

I know what my strengths are and what theirs are and what the three of us do is play for the good of the team.

I'm not envious of Leo [Messi]or Ney [Neymar]. Why would I be? If there is envy in the dressing room, you know it's only going to affect results.

I'd have to say I enjoy myself a lot more, really. I don't feel so much responsibility as I did in other teams. It felt sometimes at Ajax and Liverpool that it had to be me. Now, every time I go out on to the pitch, I enjoy myself and laugh. I have gone through too many difficult times in my career and I don't want to keep thinking about them.

Messi will retire wherever he wants, he can decide whether it's at Barcelona, in Argentina or wherever.

It's very difficult for me. This is all unexpected, I have nothing prepared. I just have to thank the club for signing me, they continued to trust in me. It was not easy to accept that. The coach, my teammates, everyone treated me wonderfully. I will always be grateful. Everyone knows the effort I made to fulfil a dream. I always said that this is the best club in the world.

I am aware that a stage is ending. It has been many years and I take friends with me. That makes me happy, saying goodbye to the club's people and letting them see that a player is leaving, but also a human being who has feelings.

It sounds ironic but when Barça told me that they would no longer need me, there were many calls. I felt qualified to compete for two teams like Madrid and Atlético.

I can’t imagine Messi away from Barça, as a club fan, and as a friend, I would like to tell him not to leave. The best thing for him would be to have a career end of three, four, five or six good years at the club where he has been happiest.

Koeman called me to say he didn’t count on me. I accepted it, but I told him I had a contract and, therefore, I would have joined the team for the pre-season training. I couldn’t talk to Bartomeu, my lawyer did it. It was hard to leave Barcelona, I was disrespected, but I wanted my children to see me leave the club in style.

Everyone knows the relationship I have with Leo. When you arrive at Barcelona they say to be careful with Leo and now after many years, Leo and I get along spectacularly and they say you are bad for him.

Best Luis Suarez Quotes on his time with Atletico Madrid

I would very much like to live an experience in the United States, to play in MLS. I would have liked to join this championship as soon as my adventure at FC Barcelona ends, but the opportunity to Joining Atletico Madrid then presented itself to me, and I think I’ll stay here for another year or two.

When Barca told me they weren't counting on me, there were many calls, many offers, but I was able to go to a team that can compete as equals with two great teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. I had no doubts.

Although I'm 34, I'm still as ambitious as ever, trying to help the team stay on top. That way we can reach the end of the season in the position we want.

Everyone tells you that suffering is part of Atletico's identity but I didn't think this much, But that is what this team is about, effort and sacrifice, many people working really hard to ensure the club achieves its objectives.

To win La Liga you have to suffer and that's what we have done.
