da bet sport: Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has confessed that he has an obsession with winning, but finds balance in life with his family, the Mirror reports.
da apostaganha: The Uruguayan international said as a street-kid he had to fight his way out of poverty and that the rage still lurks deep inside him.
However Suarez disclosed that his wife has toned down his inner child at home, despite of his appetite to be the best at everything.
In a video on the Liverpool official website, the forward said he hates losing so much there were occasions when he made his three-year-old daughter cry.
“I can never lose. I don’t like that and sometimes I can see and my wife can see that Delfina is the same,” he said.
“She doesn’t like losing and when we play in the house and she loses she cries and Sofia says she’s like me on the pitch!
“When I was a child I never liked to lose. From seven years old I started to do competitions and things like that and I never liked to lose…and even now, when I go onto the pitch sometimes 100 per cent it’s from the street.”
The 26-year-old explained that the desire to win came from a life of poverty – when he had to steal food for his family – and that the trait has stuck with him.
His wife sees things differently, by banning him from bringing his attitudes on the pitch back into their home.
“I have worked very hard in my life to stay at this level and I can’t miss one ball, because I love football,” he explained.
“But now sometimes I’m another person because you try your best, you perform and you change. But it depends on the moment.
“Sometimes you lose the game and you go back to the house and I see my wife and two children and I forget everything.
“And when I score four like in the Norwich game I come home and my wife tells me forget that you have scored four on the pitch because here you are my husband!”
