体坛英语新闻:Luis Suarez admits seeking help after World Cup biting incident
MADRID, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona finally made the official presentation of striker Luis Suarez to the press and fans in the Camp Nou Stadium on Tuesday.
The presentation came the day after the Uruguay international played 14 minutes in the Joan Gamper friendly game against Mexican outfit, Club Leon, a game which Barca won by a comfortable 6-0.
Although he won't be able to play a competitive game with his club until the end of October as the result of suspension, Suarez said that he had dreamed of playing for Barca "since I was a boy."
He confessed it had been emotional to make his debut in the Camp Nou, "to be honest, I can't believe I am fulfilling my dream," said the striker, who has also played for Ajax and Liverpool.
Suarez was only allowed to start training with the rest of his companions last Friday after the Court of Arbitration in Court altered the original suspension which had prohibited him from taking part in any football related activity. As a result, the striker admitted he had not spoken much to coach, Luis Enrique, but preferred to look forward in respect to his sanction.
"it is what it is and I have to accept it," he said, adding that he had seen "the adequate professionals," to ensure there is no repeat of the biting incident, which led to the ban.
"I don't want to look back, I want to think about the future," continued Suarez, who admitted that after he has bitten Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.
"I didn't want to do anything. I was worried by what I did," he said. "Now I have two months to wait. It is hard, but I have taken it on board and I accept it and now I am focused on training. "
Suarez, who also started last season at Liverpool with a ban for a similar biting incident, will make up an fearsome attacking lineup with Leo Messi and Neymar and said he was "excited and motivated" by the chance of playing alongside them and other stars, adding that he was willing to play anywhere Luis Enrique asked him to.
