Luis Suarez

“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.”

“When you feel you've done something wrong, you should apologise for it.”

“The only thing I want is the respect of the fans of Liverpool and the fans of the national team of Uruguay.”

“I've been booed in Holland and in Uruguay - as a professional footballer, you need to have thick skin and just get used to it.”

“It's important for the team not to be relying on one player.”

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

“I have to put my career first.”

“I normally try to be tranquil on the pitch.”

“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 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.”

“Barcelona are always a candidate to win the Champions League.”

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

“It disturbs me that Liverpool are not in the Champions League and fighting for the Premier League.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“I have a very strange way of playing football.”

“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.”

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

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