“I couldn’t lie to the club or steal from them. It would have been easy for me to stay knowing that I could only play one, two or three games a month. The club told me I could stay and play anytime I wanted, but I’m not like that, no I can lie, I am a 24-hour professional. “I cannot deceive people,” he admitted in an interview with Uruguayan Radio Sport 890.

Only his inner circle knows day to day: “This for me is priceless, that they know the effort I was putting in, taking pills and pricking myself to be able to play, but because I am a professional and committed to Gremio to try.” To do the best we can. That will always be special to me. “They know the effort I made to bring Gremio back to the Libertadores,” he said.

“I love this profession, I love it, but it is also difficult to wake up every morning in pain. My wife asks me every morning: Are you okay, is there something wrong with you? Because every morning is a ‘mancada’, as they say here. It is very difficult for Lee. Suarez, who played 52 games for Gremio this season, added, “But I’m very determined and I want to continue playing football, but I still don’t know what will happen.”

the retirement? “It’s not easy to say enough is enough. A footballer is not ready to retire, these are difficult times. The World Cup ended last year and I thought my time in the national team was over, and because I was stubborn I went back to playing in the national team. Luis Suarez is like that, he is stubborn. He added: “But I should feel proud that I enjoyed these wonderful moments in football as I enjoyed this year at Gremio.”

Regarding the possibility of going to Inter Miami with Lionel Messi, he said that now he is “in no hurry” and just wants to enjoy a vacation with his family.
