Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has said that he knew that Luis Suarez would ‘engineer’ a way out of Liverpool.
Suarez moved from Liverpool to Barcelona after biting Italy’s Giorgio Cheillini at the World Cup this summer and being handed a 4 month football ban. He had enjoyed a fine season at Anfield, but the incident prompted the £70million move.
His former captain Steven Gerrard was interviewed by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Tottenham on Sunday afternoon,
However, he was resigned to losing last season’s top scorer when he saw Suarez’s headline-grabbing actions in Brazil.
“I thought he was going to stay, I thought we’d have got another year out of him,” said Gerrard.
“I was actually already on the floor when I saw the bite because we knew we were going out. It was a double blow, knowing you’re going out of the World Cup and knowing you’re going to lose your best player.
“I knew there was no way back for him then and I knew he was going to engineer a way out.”
