The preformer said that something that was missing in these first months in Madrid is that his experience was not complete due to COVID-19 and the restrictions he requires. “I can’t socialize with my children’s school parents, I can’t socialize a little more with my teammates … Today you have to be very careful, you have to look for the children at school and you have to go fast. You don’t know anyone, we all wear a the mask. The same thing happens at the club; Yes, you are with your teammates for training and games, but you have to be careful not to see your family later, so that the children get to know each other, etc. Although it is not forbidden, someone feels a certain responsibility and that makes you be installed in Madrid, but not socially open, because you can’t ”, he said on 9.
Despite these inconveniences, Suárez said that his children have adapted well to the change of city and that he really likes to see Benjamin, the oldest of the boys, playing in the children’s categories in Colchonero. Asked if the fire he usually shows on the field also leads him to the lime line when he watches his son play, Suárez was blunt: “Not at all, on the contrary, I am one of those parents who says absolutely nothing to him. “” I told him that whatever he wanted to come and ask me, I was willing to answer him and try to help him and not make mistakes that my father could have made. But telling him he had to to do this or that, impossible. Sometimes I take it out a little when he missed a goal as a joke, because I like it because it eats me more than me, “he said. Benjamín Suárez is also a striker like his father.
Several of his teammates live in the neighborhood where “Pistolero” settled on the outskirts of Madrid, such as Saúl Ñíguez, Koke Resurrección, Joao Félix or Jan Oblak, but also some on the sidewalk across the road. Nearby is Toni Kroos and around the corner is Eden Hazard, both from Real Madrid. Suárez said that it is difficult to meet them and see each other and that, when they cross paths, they greet each other cordially and ask themselves how they are, but not much more.
The Uruguayan also spoke about life in Madrid and said that from what he could enjoy “I am very respectful” and that he asks him more about football than in Barcelona. In that city, one of his neighbors and with whom he shared a long time was Lionel Messi, his great friend during his time with the Culé team. “I miss every day, I had a relationship that we were very close, very close, on trips, concentrations … Those discussions with Leo, jokes, thousands of things are missed, but the beauty of the relationship is that we keep talking, have that connection and we’ll get together to talk about what’s going on in our lives. “, he showed.
