26 May, 2021
Former Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has slammed Ronald Koeman just after securing the LaLiga title with Atletico Madrid.
The Uruguayan was controversially sold to Diego Simeone's Atleti in the beginning of the season, a decision that was reportedly created by former Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
While Suarez was devastated to leave Barcelona, where he previously won many trophies and made superb friends, he went on to win the 2020/21 LaLiga subject with Los Rojiblancos, scoring 21 league goals on the way.
Speaking openly about his exit from the Blaugrana in a recently available interview, the 34-year-outdated said that his ex - employers at Barca had not congratulated him yet, and added that he felt Koeman's actions this past year showed too little strength.
"No one congratulated me, but I practically sent them a photo!" he informed El Partidazo de COPE.
"I'm never likely to not in favor of Barcelona, they possess given me personally everything and allowed me personally to get to the elite, but obviously the president (Bartomeu) said everything in the press instead of calling me.
"As soon as they wanted Leo (Messi) to stay, they called me to use me to convince him, to speak to (Antoine) Griezmann… so why didn't they call me when they wanted me to keep?
"Or perhaps why did the mentor not come and tell me that he will not count on me personally because he wants another type of striker?
"Koeman told me I wasn't in his plans, then he said, 'If we don't physique this out by tomorrow, you're back in my ideas and I'm counting on you against Villarreal.'
