🗣️ "After scoring four goals against Norwich, I came home expecting my wife to congratulate me. But she didn't say a word. The next day she looked at me and said, 'Do you know why I didn't congratulate you? Because here, you're still my husband, the father of your daughter... the same old Salta. And that's when I understood everything. She was right. When you start getting praised from all sides, you run the risk of believing it, of getting detached. But having someone by your side to remind you who you are, to keep you grounded, is essential. I could be Luis Suarez to the world, but at home I was still the same as always. At home, I'm not the goalscorer. I'm the dad, the husband, the Salta native who washes the dishes. My wife always grounded me. You can score 600 goals, but if you leave your clothes lying around, they'll still scold you. And that's okay. It keeps you real." Luis Suárez on how his wife was key to maintaining his humility even on his most glorious nights.
