One of the most lethal partnerships in the history of football was the one between the Argentine Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez in Barcelona. Both contributed greatly to expanding the showcases of the Catalan institution and marked an era and historical records with their goals. Although their paths were divided, the friendship was never severed and now they will once again share the playing field at Inter Miami in the United States.
During an extensive and relaxed note with La Mesa, a program broadcast on Radio Del Sol, the Pistolero told some intimate details about his bond with the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner. Among the main gems are the birth of their friendship, how They are the dunks that La Pulga makes, what makes the Albiceleste captain angry and the joy after his consecration in the World Cup in Qatar.
In the talk, the former Ajax of the Netherlands and Nacional of Uruguay explained how he began his relationship with the number 10 and how he gained their trust: “The first thing I did was talk to him and the players. I was going to want to win and fulfill my dream, I was not going to want to be the best in the world or be a scorer by myself. I was going to win, to be part of Barcelona’s history. “I started talking and explaining it.” And then he added: “I know that Ibrahimovic was there, this one was there, the other one was there and everyone had a bad time, because of their ego. The soccer player has a lot of ego. I put myself, in quotes, intelligent. I said ‘I’m coming to this’. If I have the ball and see Messi and Neymar better, I give it to them. My time will come. They saw that, that the guy wanted to win, and in 2015/16 they made me scorer, they made me win the Golden Boot.”
Jokingly, one of the members of the program asked him to speak badly of Messi. After laughing out loud, Lucho said: “Mate has changed a lot. Now I got back together with him and he improved a lot. I say that he will have learned with me. When I arrived I didn’t drink much mate and I learned a lot.”
“When he’s in a bad mood, don’t approach him. I’m not an idiot either, I know when he’s in a bad mood and when he’s in a good mood,” Suárez warned and then delved into what makes the Argentine nervous: “Losing little games in soccer, in training. In training too. Or be playing a little game of soccer, tennis, or whatever; Also, it gets hot. Of course, if you eat it; then he eats you every time. “I’m laughing my ass off.”
To conclude the topic, the footballer did not hide his joy at the milestone that his friend achieved with the national team in Qatar. “I experienced firsthand when he made the decision to no longer go to the National Team, after losing the final of the Copa América. I lived all that with him, I was with him in Barcelona. It was hard, that moment was difficult for him, for his family, because of everything that was said. A world of nonsense was said. Now the satisfaction… Apart from talking to his wife and his peers, one of the first people he spoke to was me, that famous video call. He knows that as a family we were with him in those moments, in the hard times. As a Uruguayan I want to become world champion, but I had a friend on that side. “I was very happy for him.”
