Luis Suarez has revealed that he became emotional, after
Barcelona insisted they still wanted to sign him, following his scandalous 2014
World Cup.
The Uruguay international was a Liverpool player when he
travelled to Brazil for the tournament, but was already linked with a move to
the La Liga giants.
Suarez was sent home from the World Cup, after he bit
Giorgio Chiellini in a group stage match against Italy. He received a hefty
suspension from club and international football from FIFA, which left him fearing
his move to Barca would be called off.
“Pere Guardiola called to say I should take it easy, and that Barca still wanted me. Zubi [Andoni Zubizarreta] also called,” he revealed to El Periodico.
“I remember that after I spoke to Andoni I could not stop crying because I could not believe they still wanted me. Barca was a great motivation to bounce back.”Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
