Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has released a statement thanking the fans of the club for supporting him and not turning their back on him after a controversial Summer.
The controversy started when the striker was banned for 10-matches after biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic right at the end of last season, and this was then followed up by asking the club to leave.
During the Summer transfer window, Suarez was very open about his future and made it clear that his future didn’t lie at Anfield.
However, after two formal bids were rejected from Arsenal, the Uruguayan remained a Reds man and since then, he has managed to get the fans back on side and for that reason, he has released this statement.
“Coming back to play at Anfield: because after so many difficult moments for me I was able to win the supporters back, and that was unbelievable when I came back to play.
“They helped me, and that was important for me, for my confidence, and for my family, because they are together with me in this.
“It’s very special for me (the award) because my hard work on the pitch is recognised.
“Everybody knows about my problems and my difficult year, but after that I forgot everything and have been able to get back on the pitch.
“Liverpool are starting to reach their potential and we can play our best on the pitch.
“It’s very important that we stay together, we keep going, this is very important.
“If Liverpool don’t have these players I cannot continue my level, because it’s too much.
“They know I am important, so they try everything to stay together, that’s important for me, but it’s more important for the club.”
