Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlwis 'swares]; born 24 January 1987), commonly known as Luis Suárez, is a Uruguayan footballer who plays for Liverpool and the Uruguayan national team, with whom he played in the 2010 FIFA World Cup and 2011 Copa América, where he was the leading goal scorer as Uruguay won the tournament.

Suárez was born in Salto, Uruguay, and moved with his family to Montevideo, where he grew up with a single mother and six siblings. In 2005, he began his professional career at Nacional in Montevideo. In 2006, at age 19, he moved to the Netherlands to play for Groningen in the Eredivisie. Suárez transferred to Ajax in 2007 and made a major impact at the Amsterdam club. In 2008–09 he was named club Player of the Year and he led Ajax in scoring, although he was suspended for both fighting with a teammate and for getting seven yellow cards during the season. The following year he was named the club captain, led the Eredivisie in scoring with 35 goals in 33 games and was named Dutch Footballer of the Year. He scored 49 goals in all competitions and Ajax won the KNVB Cup. In the 2010–11 season he scored his one hundredth Ajax goal and joined an elite group of players from the club, including Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp, to do so. That season he was also involved in an incident in which he bit the shoulder of PSV player Otman Bakkal during a game. He was branded the "Cannibal of Ajax" and suspended seven games. During his suspension, in January 2011, he transferred to Liverpool for €26.5 million (£22.8 million). During his partial season at Liverpool, Suárez helped the club move from twelfth in the league in mid-January to finish sixth.

Suárez represented Uruguay at the youth level in the 2007 U-20 World Cup. In 2007 he scored in his senior team debut against Colombia but was also sent off for a second yellow card. In the 2010 World Cup he played an important role in Uruguay's fourth place finish and scored three goals. He was also involved in one of the tournament's most controversial incidents in the final minutes of extra time against Ghana; he prevented a goal with his hands to save his team from losing. He was given a red card, but the ensuing penalty kick was missed; Uruguay advanced after winning the shootout. He was labeled a villain and a cheat but also a hero for sacrificing himself for his team. In 2011, Suárez scored four goals for Uruguay as they won a record fifteenth Copa América, and he was named Player of the Tournament.

Club career

Nacional

Suárez joined local side Nacional's youth team at the age of 14 .[2] One night he was caught drinking and partying, and his coach threatened Suárez would never play unless he started playing football more seriously.[2][3] In May 2005, at age 16, he made his first team debut against Junior de Barranquilla in the Libertadores Cup.[2] He scored his first goal in September 2005[4] and helped Nacional win the 2005–06 Uruguayan league with 10 goals in 27 games.[5]

Suárez was found by a group of scouts from the Dutch club Groningen when they were in Uruguay to watch another player. As they watched, he won and converted a penalty and scored a "wonder goal"[6] against Defensor. After watching only that game, the scouts approached Suárez and said they wanted to buy him;[6] after the season, Groningen paid Nacional €800,000 for him.[2] Suárez was thrilled to go to Europe because his girlfriend, and current wife, Sofia Balbi, had moved to Barcelona; they had maintained a long-distance relationship for a year and he wanted to move closer to her.[4]

Groningen

Suárez on the training field of FC Groningen.

Suárez was 19 years old when he went to play for Groningen. Initially he struggled because he did not know Dutch or English, and he played on the second team to adjust to the Dutch game.[7] His teammate and fellow Uruguayan, Bruno Silva, helped him settle into living in the Netherlands and playing for a new team.[7] He worked hard to learn Dutch and his teammates respected him for his efforts with the language.[7] Suárez scored goals for Groningen, but he also had disciplinary problems; in one five-game stretch in January 2007, he scored four goals but received three yellow cards and one red card.[3] Suárez ended with 10 goals in 29 league appearances[6][8] to help Groningen finish eighth in the 2006–07 Eredivisie.[7][8] He also scored in a 4–2 loss[9] to Partizan Belgrade in his European debut.[7]

Ajax saw potential in Suárez and offered Groningen €3.5 million for him, but Groningen rejected the deal.[10] Suárez was upset and brought his case to the KNVB’s arbitration committee to try to facilitate the sale.[10] The arbitration committee ruled against him on 9 August 2007, but that same day, Ajax increased their offer to €7.5 million and Groningen accepted.[8][11]

Ajax

Suárez signed a five-year contract with Ajax[10][12] and made his club debut in the Champions League qualifier against Slavia Prague.[13] He scored one goal in his Eredivisie debut for the club[14] and two goals in his home debut at the Amsterdam Arena.[15] Ajax finished second in league in the 2007–08 season[16] and Suárez scored 17 goals in 33 league appearances.[17]

Suárez (with the Ajax pennant) as Ajax skipper in 2010.

During the 2008–09 season, Ajax coach Marco van Basten noted how Suárez played an important role in many of Ajax’s goals, but van Basten was also upset by the number of yellow cards Suárez received.[14] Suárez was suspended for a game[18] because he was given his seventh yellow card of the season against Utrecht in a 2–0 win.[19] He was also suspended after a halftime altercation with teammate Albert Luque over a free kick.[14][3] Ajax ended the season in third place.[20] Suárez scored 22 goals in 31 league games[14][17] and finished second in scoring tables, one goal behind Mounir El Hamdaoui of AZ;[21] Suárez was named Ajax Player of the Year.[22]

Before the 2009–10 season, Martin Jol replaced van Basten as coach.[14] After the departure of previous captain, Thomas Vermaelen, to Arsenal, Jol named Suárez team captain.[23][24] Suárez started scoring goals early in the season with a hat trick in a 4–1 win against RKC Waalwijk.[25] Suárez had a number of multiple-goal games throughout the season including four goals in wins over Slovan Bratislava in the Europe League play-off round,[26] VVV-Venlo[27][28] and Roda JC Kerkrade.[29] He scored three in the first half in another win over VVV-Venlo[30] and six against WHC Wezep in the KNVB Cup as Ajax won by a club-record margin of 14–1.[31][32] Suárez scored two more in the second leg of the KNVB Cup final and finished as the tournament's top scorer.[33] Ajax won the Cup final 6–1 on aggregate over Feyenoord,[22][33][34] but they finished second in the league behind FC Twente.[23] Suárez ended the season as the Eredivisie's top scorer with 35 goals in 33 games[17][23] and had 49 goals in all competitions.[23] He was named Ajax Player of the Year for the second straight time[22] and Dutch Footballer of the Year.[22][23][35]

Suárez as captain of Ajax in a Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev.

Other European clubs began to show their interest in Suárez because of the number of goals Suárez was scoring for Ajax; his play that summer at the 2010 World Cup increased their interest.[3][36] Soon after Suárez returned from his World Cup campaign, he scored his one hundredth goal for Ajax in a 1–1 home draw against PAOK in a Champions League qualifier.[22][37] This put him in an elite group of players, including Johan Cruyff, van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp, to score 100 or more goals with the club.[34][37] Suárez continued his scoring run with a hat trick against De Graafschap in a 5–0 win.[38] But on 20 November 2010, Suárez was in trouble again when he bit PSV's Otman Bakkal on the shoulder during a 0–0 draw. Ajax suspended him for two games and fined him an undisclosed amount which the club said they would donate to a "good cause".[39] The Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf branded Suárez the "Cannibal of Ajax".[34][40] The KNVB increased Suárez's suspension to seven league matches.[41] Suárez apologized for his actions through a video he uploaded to his Facebook page.[34] During the suspension Ajax was in contact with other European clubs interested in Suárez; on 28 January 2011 they accepted a €26.5 million (£22.8 million) offer for Suárez from English club Liverpool.[42][43] Despite leaving while suspended, Suárez departed Ajax on good terms, and he was given a farewell sendoff after an Ajax game. During the sendoff an Ajax coach spoke to him and the crowd and said how the club wished he could stay longer; the crowd applauded their agreement and fireworks followed.[44] Ajax ended the 2010–11 season as Eredivisie champions[45] and Suárez was given a winner’s medal[5][46] for his seven goals in 13 appearances.[47]

While he was at Ajax, Suárez scored 111 goals in 159 appearances.[13][42] Suárez recognized Ajax legends, van Basten, Bergkamp, Frank de Boer and Henk ten Cate, for teaching him about football during his time at the club. He noted that van Basten taught him the techniques and movement required for playing forward and he learned from all of them to be composed in front of the goal and not react to fouls.[6]

Liverpool

Suárez in action for Liverpool.

Until the arrival of Andy Carroll from Newcastle United a few hours later, Suárez was Liverpool's most expensive signing.[48] The next day, Suárez passed his medical[49] and signed a five-and-a-half-year deal through 2016.[42][50] Suárez requested the number seven jersey, but at the time did not realize that it had been worn by Liverpool "legends"[36] such as his new manager Kenny Dalglish and Kevin Keegan.[51] After he learned about the players who previously wore that number, he said he appreciated the expectations associated with it.[6] Suárez made his Liverpool debut on 2 February against Stoke City at Anfield in a 2–0 win; he came on as a substitute and scored Liverpool's second goal in front of the Kop in the sixty-third minute.[48][52] He was one of Liverpool’s best players during his partial season[53][54][55] and helped Liverpool go from twelfth in the league in mid-January[53] to finish sixth.[55] He finished the 2010–11 Premier League season with four goals in 13 games.[47]

Suárez began Liverpool's 2011–12 Premier League season by missing a penalty and scoring the opening goal in a 1–1 draw against Sunderland.[56] Suárez followed this up by coming on as a substitute against Arsenal to be heavily involved in Liverpool's first goal and then score the second. The 2–0 win was the first against Arsenal in London for eleven years.[57] He was awarded man of the match against Bolton,[58] Suárez then scored the second goal for Liverpool in his first Merseyside derby against Everton in a 2–0 victory.[59]

After a 1–1 draw against Manchester United on 15 October, he was accused of racially abusing Patrice Evra[60] and the English Football Association opened up an investigation into the incident.[60] Suárez wrote on his Twitter and Facebook pages that he was upset by the accusation and denied the claims.[61]

On 1 November, Suarez was named as one of the 23 finalists for the FIFA Ballon d'Or.[62]

On 16 November, the FA announced it would charge Suárez with "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour contrary to FA rules", including "a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra." Liverpool released a statement announcing Suárez would plead innocent, adding that they would "remain fully supportive" of him.[63]

On 7 December, the FA charged Suárez with improper conduct "in relation to an alleged gesture made towards the Fulham fans" at the end of Liverpool's match at Craven Cottage on 5 December. Suárez was on the receiving end of Fulham supporter's chants calling him a "cheat", and he was photographed making what appeared to be an obscene hand gesture in their direction following the final whistle. [64] Suarez scored his first goal in seven matches against Q.P.R. with a header from a Charlie Adam cross.

On 20 December, the FA concluded a seven-day hearing and gave Suárez a £40,000 fine and banned for eight matches for racially abusing Evra in the 15 October match against Manchester United.[65] Following the FA's ruling, Liverpool issued a statement, which claimed the club was "very surprised and disappointed" at the ban, pointed out that Evra told the FA, "I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist", and cited Suarez's mixed race family background, as well as his involvement with multicultural projects.[66]


International career

Suárez was invited to play at the youth level for Uruguay in the qualifying rounds for the 2007 U-20 World Cup, but his club, Groningen, did not release him to play.[67] He did play in the tournament proper, and he scored two goals in four appearances.[68] His goals came in a group stage draw against Spain[69] and in the Round of 16 against the US,[68] but the US won 2–1 and Uruguay was knocked out of the tournament.[70] Suárez made his senior debut for Uruguay on 8 February 2007 in a 3–1 win against Colombia. He was sent off in the eighty-fifth minute after receiving a second yellow card.[7][67] Suárez played in 19 of 20 games in 2010 World Cup qualifying and the inter-confederation playoffs and scored five goals.[68]

2010 FIFA World Cup

In June 2010, Óscar Tabárez named Suárez to Uruguay's 23-man World Cup squad.[71] Uruguay began the tournament with a 0–0 draw against France.[72] In the second game, a 3–0 win over South Africa, Suárez drew a penalty and assisted Alvaro Pereira's stoppage time goal.[73] In the final game of the group, he headed in a goal off a pass from Edinson Cavani and was named Man of the Match in a 1–0 win over Mexico.[74][75] Uruguay won Group A and advanced to the knockout stage.[74][75]

During the round of 16 against South Korea, Suárez scored both goals in a 2–1 win. His second broke a tie in the eightieth minute when he dribbled around a defender and curled a "spectacular shot"[76] in off the far post; Suárez was again named Man of the Match.[76] This win put Uruguay through to the quarterfinals for the first time since 1970.[77] In the quarterfinal match against Ghana, the score was 1–1 at the end of regulation and the game went into extra time. Late in extra time, Ghana sent a free kick into the box; Suárez blocked Stephen Appiah's shot on the goal line.[78] He then blocked Dominic Adiyiah’s goalbound header with his hands[34] to save what would have been the game winner[79] and he was red carded. Asamoah Gyan missed the ensuing penalty kick off the crossbar[78] and Suárez celebrated the miss.[6][80][81] Uruguay won the shootout 4–2 and advanced to the semifinal.[78]

After the game, Suárez said, "I made the save of the tournament."[79] He claimed he had no alternative and was acting out of instinct.[82] Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac said the play was an "injustice"[80] and Suárez was labeled a villain[82] and a cheat[83] while he "enraged an entire continent [Africa]."[6] But others viewed him as a hero[6][34][84] who, due to the automatic suspension that accompanies a red card, sacrificed himself in the semifinal for the unlikely chance that the penalty would be missed and his team would later win.[3][83]

While Suárez was suspended for the semi-final game for his red card against Ghana,[85] Uruguay "lacked a second striker [alongside Diego Forlán] of cunning and movement"[86] and lost 3–2 to the Netherlands.[87][88] Suárez returned for the third place game against Germany; he was booed almost every time he had the ball because of his handball in the Ghana game.[89] He assisted Cavani on Uruguay’s first goal,[90] but Uruguay lost 3–2.[89] During the tournament, Suárez played 543 minutes in six appearances, scored three goals and received a red card.[1]

2011 Copa América

Suárez was named most valuable player of the 2011 Copa América.

In the 2011 Copa América tournament, Suárez scored in Uruguay's opening game, a 1–1 draw with Peru.[91] Uruguay finished second in their group and advanced to the knockout round[92] with a win and two draws.[93] In the quarterfinals, Uruguay finished regulation and extra time tied at 1–1 with tournament hosts Argentina. Uruguay won the shootout 5–4 and Suárez converted his penalty.[94] Suárez scored both goals in Uruguay’s 2–0 semifinal win over Peru and was named Man of the Match.[95] In the final, Suárez scored the first goal and Uruguay beat Paraguay 3–0 for their record fifteenth Copa América title.[96] Suárez scored four goals in the tournament and was named Player of the Tournament.[22][96]

International goals

As of 11 November 2011[5][68][97]

Playing style

Suárez creates goal scoring chances with his powerful shot,[67] aerial ability[98][67] and "remarkable technical ability".[98] Harry Redknapp said that Suárez could play anywhere — as the target man or behind as a second striker.[99] Uruguay coach Óscar Tabárez called Suárez "a great forward, an elite player among forwards in the world",[100] and Liverpool coach Kenny Dalglish said, "he's intelligent, he's had a fantastic education at Ajax."[101] Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge said his abilities allow him to get into a position to score[102] and evade defenders.[103] Suárez has been praised for his work rate,[103] and his quickness[101] allows him to attack from the outside.[98] He also creates scoring opportunities for his teammates.[1]

Former Ajax coach Marco van Basten criticized Suárez for his tendency to pick up yellow cards.[14] van Basten said he had a tense relationship with Suárez,[14] although he conceded, "Luis is unpredictable, he’s hard to influence but that makes him special."[14] At times, Suárez can be dominant but fail to convert his efforts into goals.[104] Former Liverpool player Mark Lawrenson claims that Suárez has a reputation for diving,[105] although Dalglish denies these accusations.[106] Despite his weaknesses, Suárez’s leadership stood out to Ajax management;[42] coach Martin Jol appointed him captain because Jol believed that Suárez could transfer his mentality and attitude to the team.[6]

Personal life

Suárez was born in Salto, Uruguay, and is the fourth of seven brothers.[3][107] He moved with his family to Montevideo when he was seven[107] and his parents separated when he was nine.[6] He lived with his mother and brothers but still maintains contact with his father.[6] In Montevideo, Suárez developed his football skills on the streets.[4][107] When he was 11 he was invited to a youth national team football training camp, but he had to decline the offer because he could not afford football boots.[107] In 2009, he married his childhood girlfriend, Sofia Balbi, and they had their first daughter, Delfina, on 5 August 2010.[3][108] When Suárez was in South Africa for the World Cup, he became involved in charity work that supported solidarity.[34][109] His older brother Paolo Suárez is also a professional football player who plays for Isidro Metapán in El Salvador.[107]
