http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Glen-Johnson-c15050 has gone on to hail Luis Suarez’s mental strength and character, as the player makes his way back from an eight game ban.
Suarez was banned for eight games, after the striker went on to racially abuse http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231. However, the striker made his comeback this past Monday and was part of the Liverpool squad that went on to draw their game with Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite making only a twenty four minute appearance for the team, the striker was in the headlines once again for all the wrong reasons. The Uruguayan went on to kick Scott Parker in the chest and managed to walk away with only a yellow card.
The Reds are now going to be heading to Old Trafford this coming Saturday and Suarez is more than likely to feel the wrath of the Red Devils squad and their fans.
However, Johnson feels that Suarez is the sort of player who will relish the opportunity to play in such a hostile environment, as he is a professional who thrives to perform when the odds are against him.
When talking about the upcoming game between Liverpool and United, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international is quoted to have said: "It is a tough place to go Old Trafford. Luis is a strong character and he will try to let his football do the talking”
"He is a fantastic player, he has had a long break now and hopefully he will be fresh and ready to put in a performance at the weekend.”
"He is the sort of player we need in the team."
Irrelevant of how the United fans and players might treat Suarez, what can be said assuredly, is that the forward gives Liverpool a lot of different options up front.
The forward can play as a target man, or he can drop back and help create attacks. His ability to score from just about anywhere, along with his natural ability to pass brilliantly are going to make him the man to watch in this upcoming clash.
Nonetheless, it is going to be a wait to see just how strong Suarez’s character is, as he looks to prove his worth via his footballing ability this coming Saturday.
