Just eleven days away of being cleared to play, Luis Suarez feels grateful to have the opportunity to debut in an official match against Real Madrid. The Uruguayan gave a lenghty interview to the club's magazine, in which he shared his enthusiasm about making history with Barcelona from Day One:
"To be honest with you, I can't wait to experience this. I will make the most of my time here at Barcelona. I'm one of those people that everything happens for a reason, and if I get to make my debut against Real Madrid and not against any other team, then I have to think it's truly special," Suarez said.
After scoring three goals in his National Team's friendly matches -two against Oman and one against Saudi Arabia-, Suarez reflected on how he felt about not being able to play with his new club after his well-known ban for biting Chiellini:
"The tension keeps piling up. During the past two games, where I was able to go and cheer for the team, I just wanted to go inside and help them out. I want to feel the emotion of a true Barcelona player, because when I played the Joan Gamper game, I felt out of place, I thought I didn't belong here. That's why I'm so excited, because I will feel for the first time like a true culé,", the Uruguayan added.
Suarez stated he is aware of his flaws, hoping he will be able to recover his status as one of football's stars despite his misconduct.
