Luis Suarez recounts his saddest story in England, 'I was asked to pose for a photo near Manchester but the men just made biting gestures'

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has underlined his need to leave Anfield despite his love for the club and accused the media and the FA of driving him out.

The Uruguay star is in South America preparing for the Confederations Cup and Liverpool have insisted he is not for sale.







'Ever since I arrived I have felt bad, they have never judged me for my play but with the attitude that he dives, protests, makes gestures, racism... everything,' Suarez told television show RR Gol.

'They have never spoken well of me. For that reason, when I was told I could win the Player of the Year award, I said, "I will not get excited as I know that I will never win an important award in England".'



Suarez also feels the FA are against him, comparing his ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra with that of John Terry, who was suspended for half the amount of games after a similar incident with Anton Ferdinand. Suarez suggested the fact he is South American counted against him.



'Without any proof they gave me an eight-match ban, but with Terry, where they had proof, lip-readers, they gave him four. I'm South American and I think that's the root of all of this,' he added.

'Liverpool is a club that I dreamt about playing for as a boy. I have been with great players there, they know me and I would love to continue for many more years at Liverpool. The stadium is spectacular, the fans are phenomenal: people with tattoos of me, things that I could never have imagined.

'After the [Evra] suspension people would come up to me, this is something that really touched me and they would say, "Luis forget everything and stay."



'But I can't forget as it was something that I had to suffer, that my family had to suffer and away from football I have a family to support and who are hurt by these things'



Asked again where he sees himself going, should he leave he said: 'My agent said to remain calm rather than quiet, remain calm and when there is concrete interest you'll be the first to know.'



Suarez also recounted a recent incident during a shopping trip, which affected him and his family.

'About a week ago I was walking in a shopping centre near Manchester and three or four guys asked me for a photo,' he revealed.



'While we were posing for it my wife said to me, "Luis, get out of the photo". She noticed they were making biting gestures. I was with my wife and my daughter. Things like that get on your nerves. My wife was on the brink of tears and the blokes ran off laughing. You get tired of stuff like that.'
