Am not among the best players ~ Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez doesn't feel he is one of the world's finest footballers
despite forming one-third of the sport's most potent attack at
Barcelona, he told ESPN FC in an exclusive interview.
Despite missing the first two months of last season to suspension, Suarez contributed 25 goals and joined with teammates Lionel Messi and Neymar to score a record-setting 122 times in all competitions last seasons.
That came after two seasons at Liverpool where Suarez topped the 30-goal mark, but despite his proficiency in front of goal, the striker says he still doesn't consider himself among the best in the game.
"No, one always tries to accept praise and the things fans say, but I don't consider myself the most humble nor one of the best," Suarez told ESPN FC. "I just try and do my work the best I can. I'm in the best team in the world and doing things I never imagined doing, but that job I leave to the rest so they can give their opinion."
However, Suarez conceded that he has to be at the top of his game to keep up at Barcelona.
"You're in Barcelona and you have Leo and Neymar by your side so you have to be one of the best," he said. "I have the privilege to play with those quality players, just as much them as the whole team, including [Andres] Iniesta, which was a dream for me to play by his side, with players that I enjoy playing alongside.
