Luis Suarez says he is enjoying playing alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar at Barcelona, reports Goal.com. Having missed the opening stages of the season due to a ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, the Uruguayan has gradually been integrated into Luis Enrique’s starting XI.
Often selected in a front three alongside Messi and Neymar, Suarez has three goals and six assists to his name from 11 league and Champions League outings – with two of those goals coming in December.
With Suarez edging back towards the form that helped Liverpool challenge for the Premier League title last season, the 27-year-old revealed playing alongside quality players such as Messi and Neymar has aided the transition to Spanish football.
Asked whether training and playing with the pair was easy, Suarez told Barca’s official website: ‘Yes, because they do such incredible things.
‘You can never imagine what they are going to do. In training and in matches you start to realise just what they are capable of doing.
‘I have to say it’s very easy to play alongside them.
‘I don’t know whether opposition defences are frightened but they do need to be careful against Barcelona because we have such high quality players. We all know how good Leo and Neymar are.
‘Without underestimating opponents, we do know that they have to be wary because those two are capable of deciding matches alone.
‘They’ve been playing together for a while and you can see from every game how good that is for the team.’
Suarez opened his Liga account against Cordoba last Saturday, adding to the two goals he has scored in the Champions League.
He also revealed the difference in defending styles between the Premier League and Spain’s top flight.
‘In the Premier League and at Liverpool, teams rarely close up shop. You always have space to move in, in which to take on opponents,’ he added.
‘The defenders are strong, quicker – I was used to them. Here they are more skilful, they complement each other and play tighter together.
‘They know how much danger Barca can cause and so it can be quite difficult sometimes.’
