Speaking to the press before yesterday’s Copa America clash with Brazil, Suarez admitted that he is trying to savor every moment in soccer with ‘the flame of football’ currently going out.
At 37-years-old and suffering from chronic knee problems, it’s perhaps no real surprise that Suarez’s mind is starting to wander into the realm of when retiring from soccer will be the right idea.
And based on the striker’s comments, that moment could be sooner than we realize, with the end of this year a potential opportunity for Suarez to hang up his boots and to call time on his incredible career.
Suarez said: “I am enjoying every moment very much. It’s something that, as I get older, you enjoy more and more because you know that the flame of football is going out. I’m just one more player, you’ve seen that. Whether I play or not, I’m happy with the part I’m doing and trying to help in any way I can.”
