Luis Suarez Is Like A Child
- says his former coach
According to the man who brought him to Europe Luis Suarez ''sometimes has the mind of a child'' when he plays football.
Henk Veldmate signed Luis for Groningen from National as a 19 year old in 2006 and said Suarez' character was heavily influenced by his South American upbringing.
''He's a grown up person but also in the way he likes playing football he sometimes has the mentality of a child'', said the Dutch Club's sporting director.
''That's the way he enjoys playing. If you compare the mentality and attitude of Dutch players then in South America it's dead or alive, to do the best for your family - it's a way of life and a way of surviving''.
Former Groningen team mate Hugo Alves said the will to win was evident from the moment Suarez arrived at the club; '' he is the type of player that once he is inside the box he is capable of scoring a goal, to get the ball from an opponent''.
''He does anything to win.
He is a winner.
Because of the way he thinks if he is in the heat of the moment, full of emotion he makes these kind of mistakes.
In the middle of an emotional game he can vent it in the wrong way, obviously this kind of thing shouldn't happen, it's happened to him''.

From that it seems our Luis is subject to hyper-Latino-disorder.
