Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has revealed that he loves playing alongside Daniel Sturridge, but he has admitted that he will not celebrate his goals in the way the Englishman does.
Sturridge, who has become a massive hit at Anfield, enjoys scoring goals as much as any striker does, but he usually shows it off by doing a little dance in front of the fans, however, this is something Suarez will never start doing.
In a recent interview, the Uruguayan spoke about his ‘SAS’ partnership with the English striker and he revealed why he loves playing alongside the former-Chelsea man.
‘I am so happy because when you have a very good striker, and a very good partner, for defenders it is difficult because they have to give their attention to two players – not just one.
‘If maybe two defenders come towards me, this creates space for Danny. This is important not just for me, but for the team and our confidence.
‘When you have one man in the area, it’s more important. I am not a real No.9 in the area, but Daniel is more so and that’s important for me and the team.
‘We are trying for progression. He is 24 and I am 26, so we are trying our best to progress for the future of the club.
‘We know in the last few seasons, Liverpool have been not been in the Champions League and we know we can help the team challenge for the top four.
‘If he shoots or if I shoot, we are both strikers and we understand. We can discuss it on the pitch, but we work really well together.’
‘No, never!’ he laughed. ‘After he scores, he dances and I like that because I also have a celebration. When a striker scores, it makes him so happy.’
