Uruguayan striker Suarez wants it all

Xinhua, July 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

FC Barcelona striker Luis Suarez is setting his sights on more silverware after helping his side to the treble last season.

Although the Uruguayan was unable to play until October as the result of a FIFA ban, he was vital to the cause, scoring goals, producing assists and quickly striking up an understanding with Leo Messi and Neymar in the Barca attack.

As a result of last season's success, Barca kick off this campaign with the chance of winning 6 titles, adding the Spanish and European Supercups and the World Club Championships to the Champions League, BBVAP Primera Liga and King's Cup they conquered last time around.

"I want to win everything this season," said the Uruguayan, who is on tour with Barcelona in the United States, where they will face the LA Galaxy as well as Manchester United and Chelsea.

One player who is not on the tour is Messi as the Argentinean is enjoying his holidays after a long season saw him help his country to the final of the Copa America.

Messi came in for criticism after Argentina lost the final to hosts Chile, but Suarez doesn't understand those who look to attack his companion.

"It is inconceivable that some people want to criticize the best player in the world. We are all human and he wanted to win the title as much as anyone," he said.

He was also clear about rumors which say Messi wants to leave Barcelona after Joan Laporta was defeated by Josep Maria Bartomeu in the elections for the club Presidency last Saturday.

"That is a personal decision for him to make and one he will have to think a lot about but I don't want him to go," concluded Suarez. Endi
