http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s Luis Suarez surprised by the pace of the Premier League
Liverpool’s new signing Luis Suarez has revealed that the pace of the Barclays Premier League is like nothing he has experienced before.
Suarez has played in Holland with Ajax, and is also well aware of the South American style of football, having played with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035. The striker has also competed on the biggest stage of them all; the FIFA World Cup.
However, he claims that none of his previous experiences can hold a candle to the lightning pace of the Premier League.
The Uruguayan said, “The pace of the Premier League is completely different to where I've played before. It's unlike the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753, it's unlike Uruguay and it's unlike playing in the World Cup. This is a big league and it's got its own way of doing things.”
He added, “You have to be strong and be able to play very physically. You have to be able to adapt to the way the game is played.”
However, it seems that Suarez has already got the hang of playing in the fast and furious Premier League.
Luis Suarez joined Liverpool from Ajax during the January transfer window for a reported 22.8 million pounds. Though his signing was overshadowed by the high-profile departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 from Liverpool, the striker is rapidly
earning quite a name for himself with his recent performances for the club.
The former Ajax man scored on his debut for the Reds, before achieving instant-hero status for his phenomenal display against arch-rivals Manchester United at Anfield. Suarez created two goalscoring opportunities for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 in
that game, which ultimately helped his side cruise to a 3-1 win over the Premier League leaders.
Suarez went on to add that he is enjoying his time in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, especially since opposing defences tend to give him more space that than he is used to.
Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has already tipped Suarez for greatness, claiming that the striker will go on to become a legend at Anfield. Only time will tell whether the Uruguay international can secure his place in
club folklore, but he is already well on his way.
