Fans wonder what happens to Luis Suárez.
I also wonder (laughs). I am very self-critical with myself and I wonder why he does not want to enter the ball, but I can not complain about anything. Never lower my arms and keep fighting is what has brought me here. I have to correct things that I do wrong and keep training until I enter some.
Are you worried?
The important thing is that the team continues to win. As much as I do, the team comes in a very good line and for the moment is not needing my goals, but I have to try to improve. I myself want to demand much more because I know I can give more.
Do you find any explanation or is it a matter of gusts?
Obviously the gusts are gusts and you have to try to reverse the situation, but what calms me is how I feel in many games. It is true that in some moments I have felt uncomfortable about the subject of the knee, but there have been games that with the attitude I have had I have already felt happy. Especially because the team won despite not scoring goals.
Are you very demanding of yourself?
Yes, there are times when I ask myself a lot for not doing things well. More than for not scoring goals, I demand to do things badly hurting the team, like losing balls that is something that I do not usually do and that when it happens that is what worries me the most.
What exactly does not do well in the field?
When I lose balls or make bad decisions. For example the other day there were a couple of occasions against Sevilla when I made bad decisions and when you are confident you do not lose them. Another mistake is to have another partner and try to get together with Leo knowing that the defenses cover the pass to Leo, but it is the inertia of wanting to join him, but they are things of which I am very self-demanding and correct myself.
Do you review the matches on video once they are finished?
No, I do not watch videos but the coach shows me a lot of how I am positioned at the time of pressing and that I try to correct.
When talking about making bad decisions, do you mean, for example, Messi against Olympiacos when he could throw?
There are times when the doorman hurries you a lot and because I had Leo in front of me, I tried to give it to him. A forward always has the possibility to finish should do it but was a better positioned partner and always looking for the benefit of the partner. Many times I have left the court happy because I gave an assistance or made an appropriate decision. I go bad when I feel that I could not give what I could give up.
For all this, do you notice a certain anxiety?
It is not anxiety. If I had anxiety I would take the ball in the middle of the field and I would like to overcome three, four or five opponents and I would be throwing at goal all the time. It's more that you recognize when you do not want to enter. In the play I had against Málaga, who does the whole play Sergi (Roberto), if I remember correctly or laugh right away that I hit him or before I hit him I already knew that I was going to fail. That happens to you when you are in an emotionally bad moment but I am also aware that I can give much more.
You are not the only forward who is not seeing the door. Cristiano, Benzema, Griezmann ... others are like you.
At least we are all involved in this (laughs).
He talked about his discomfort, why he decided not to have surgery and follow the conservative treatment recommended by the club?
Because I think it is best to try to avoid surgery because it always takes a longer period of sick leave. It has been said that they were three weeks and no doctor has said it, they said it to say, and if you go through the surgery they are at least four weeks, and more in a meniscus. It is a consensual medical decision. Last time I did it like that and it improved a lot. And now in this break, with the agreement that the Uruguayan Federation and the club have reached due to the good relationship they have, like in September they let me go play with Uruguay when I had not played with Barça, I hope to finish recovering and be well in the remainder of the season.
So, are we waiting for you in time for the next League match against Leganes?
Yes, without any problem. We are doing a treatment that does not involve many days but it does lower the intensity loads to give rest.
With 124 goals to his back as a Barça player, only six of the 130 from Eto'o and Rivaldo, do you notice the fondness of the fans now that they are going through a rough patch?
In spite of having had complicated matches in which I have not scored goals, the fans have respected me a lot and I value that and thank them because they know what I have given to the club. It is an admirable hobby to which I will always be grateful because from the moment I arrived he has always treated me well. At no time has he put pressure on me even though when I arrived I went through times when I did not score and that is very much appreciated.
Do you need to dial?
A striker always needs to score but I am not angry at home because I do not score, I leave angry when I feel that I have not helped the team or that I have not given up what I had to surrender. There are games, like against Athletic, when I ended happy in life first because we had won and second because I had felt like I wanted to feel, as I had not felt for a long time, and against Olympiacos too. I tried it anyway and I was happy with the attitude more than anything. In the game against Sevilla I lost a lot of balls and I got angry because of that. Not because we won or because I did not score. I go away angry when I know that I am not up to what I have to be.
