Luis Suarez to Link up with Uruguay National Team

Posted on 30 of August, 2017 by in OU Soccer

Barcelona have allowed striker Luis Suarez to continue his recovery from an injury by returning to Uruguay.


The striker will be travelling with the national team in order to link up with the squad for the World Cup qualifiers. Uruguay are up against Paraguay and Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers. Suarez is not expected to feature in both these games, as he is still recovering from a knee injury suffered in the match against Real Madrid midway through August. Barcelona have stated that the player is expected to miss around four weeks of action, and it has compounded the misery after having lost Neymar to a world record transfer to PSG.

Suarez has been one of the top scorers in the Spanish league since making the £ 75 million move from Liverpool in 2014. His importance at the club has now assumed a greater significance with Neymar’s departure and Lionel Messi also reported to be contemplating his future at the club. Read more…

Luis Suarez expressed his gratitude towards Luis Enrique

Posted on 13 of July, 2017 by in OU Soccer

After being at the helm of Barcelona for 3 years, Luis Enrique has stepped down from his managerial position at Camp Nou.


The Spanish manager said that he wants to take a break from the world of football but that there is a big possibility of him making a return in the future.

In 3 years, Luis Enrique was able to push Barcelona to a number of titles including: La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Supercup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

Now it’s up to the recently selected coach Ernesto Valverde to follow the footsteps and continue winning pieces of silverware.

Following the departure of Luis Enrique as the head coach of Barcelona, Luis Suarez has gone on to give his praise towards the 47 year old tactician.

“Thanks coach! Specially for all these things you’ve taught me!!!! THANKS and much success in the future.” Luis Suarez wrote on his social media twitter account.

The 30 year old Uruguayan attacker has also recently talked about his biting incident back in the 2014 FIFA World Cup where he bitted Italy´s Giorgio Chiellini and was subsequently banned for 9 international matches. Read more…

Barcelona fought hard to achieve their league success, but Real Madrid hanged on their three point lead until the end of the season.Suarez and Edinson Cavani are undoubtedly the stand out performers for Uruguay, and it appears that luck is not on Suarez’s side as he often finds himself out of the national reckoning.The 30-year-old was largely missed during the Copa America Centenario last year where he was not deemed fit enough to take part on the playing field.Uruguay take on the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on June 4th before moving on to Nice where they face off against Italy in a neutral venue.

SUAREZ URGES BARCELONA TO MOVE ON FROM PSG MATCH

Posted on 4 of May, 2017 by in OU Soccer

Barcelona striker Luis Saurez has urged his teammates to move past the victory over Paris Saint Germain as they face Serie A champs Juventus on Tuesday.


Both sides are meeting in the quarter finals of the tournament – the first time since meeting at the 2015 Champions League final.

Barcelona pulled off a big win, more like a miracle, as they came back from a 4-0 deficit in the first leg to win 6-1 in the return leg. It is one of the greatest comebacks in continental history. The achievements earned them a chance to play Juventus and the Uruguay international is asking that the team focus on the match differently.

“The game against PSG was special, but it is in the past now. We knew that we had the ability to create a miracle and we made history that night. It does give you confidence when you have performances like that but every test in the Champions League is a big one and there are not many bigger tests than Juventus,” Suarez said.

Surez hailed the Serie A side, labelling them “one of the best teams in Europe.” Read more…
