Asked what he will do if Liverpool do not qualify for the Champions League this season, Suarez is cryptic at first. And then, unexpectedly, categorical.
‘I will wait until the end of the season and see how we are doing,’ he says. ‘We won’t know until then how we are doing and what our position is so I am prepared to wait until that time.
‘But I want to say now that, if you want to know what will happen to me if we don’t qualify for the Champions League, then I will say this: I have a contract with Liverpool and I am very happy here. I will stay.’
Suarez has said some peculiar things during his Anfield stay but here, in a small interview room at the club’s Melwood training centre, the Uruguayan is right on message. It is perhaps as well.
There have been times this season when one wonders exactly what would have happened to Liverpool had it not been for their remarkable striker.
Suarez is the kid who used to pretend to be Liverpool manager on his PlayStation back home in South America, the kid whose dream came true.
