Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has claimed he struggles to come to terms
with his bad boy image, insisting he is "more an angel than a demon."
For all his prodigious goalscoring, Suarez, is still pursued by his
past misdemeanours, such as being found guilty of racially abusing
Patrice Evra and biting Branislav Ivanovic, both of which resulted in
lengthy bans.
Arsene Wenger said on French TV
in December that the Uruguay international is "an angel who transforms
himself into a demon on the pitch", but the man himself partially
refuted the Arsenal coach's claim.
"I think I'm more an angel than a demon. It's very difficult to have
that image. I avoid giving interviews because I'm shy. I pay attention
to what I say," Suarez told TF1.
That principle would certainly apply to his future as Suarez has
repeatedly been linked with a move away from Anfield, and the Premier
League entirely.
However, after signing a lengthy and lucrative new deal
before Christmas and with Brendan Rodgers' men challenging for a
top-four finish, Suarez insisted his focus was on the Reds, particularly
as he is likely to get the top-grade European football he craves next
season.
"Right now, with my club, the principal objective is to qualify for the
Champions League," he said, brushing aside a question about when he
would team up with international colleague Edinson Cavani at Paris
Saint-Germain.
"It must be unforgettable to play a Champions League game at Anfield. That's why I really want to experience that."
