Uruguayan international Luis Suarez has transpired moments between getting banned for four months by FIFA, signing for Barcelona despite the ban and his recent come back.
“I felt I had ruined my career,” Suarez told TV3.
The former Liverpool striker made it known that his encounter with Italian Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup 2014 was one of the most challenging moments of his career, “At first, I did not want anyone to know anything. I locked myself away with my family, but then I reflected on what I had done, I apologised and felt liberated,” he said.
Following the ban, the former Liverpool star signed for Spanish side Barcelona for £75million, he was only allowed to train with the club.
On Barcelona not letting his ban to stop them from making the move to sign him, he said: “I felt happy about the commitment the club had shown me.”
Suarez is now ready to make his debut for the Blaugranas in Saturday’s clash with Real Madrid in the EL Clasico.
“I’m not imagining myself playing in the game but I am preparing for it with my colleagues,” he explained.
“But it’s not in my personality to ask the coach to let me play that game.
“I hesitate to tell Luis Enrique I want to play at the Bernabeu.”
