He said he was coming back over the weekend to sort some stuff out.

Maybe he just assumed all South American's who move to Europe are too lazy to learn the local language like Tevez and Mascherano.

Masher spoke English.

Let's not make shit up.

Good long interview with Suarez:

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2011/02/09/luis-suarez-s-rise-from-the-streets-of-montevideo-to-liverpool-fc-hero-part-one-100252-28138725/

Abstracted from it:

“I went to play for Groningen in the Netherlands when I was only 19 but I had the girl of my life Sofia back next to me.

“At the beginning it was not easy at all. At that time I was not able to speak Dutch or English and communicating was incredibly hard. To add to this I needed some time to adjust to the Dutch league and I had to play with the second team of Groningen.â€

The presence of fellow countryman Bruno Silva helped him settle and Suarez was soon proving himself to be a bargain buy.

He scored on his European debut against Partizan Belgrade and struck up a successful strike partnership with former Manchester United frontman Erik Nevland.

His eagerness to learn Dutch endeared him to team-mates and supporters alike.

“I always had clear in my mind that I was not going to give up and that I would soon enough have an opportunity to prove myself,†he said.

“I kept on fighting and working hard. It was incredible to believe that I was playing for a first division team in the Netherlands.

“When I look at my past I think about all my friends growing up, all the dirt fields and streets of Montevideo that I had played on, but I can’t help but to feel very proud of what I have achieved.â€
