Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, has revealed that Steven Gerrard and the club’s fans, are the reasons why he decided to stay at Anfield.
The Uruguay international, was the subject of strong interest from Arsenal, who had two bids rejected last summer, but the 26-year-old eventually did not leave and has scored six times in five games.
“Steve [Gerrard] spoke a lot to me, he gave me advice and told me what I needed to hear,” he told Sport 890. “When I was separated, he told he didn’t like that and wanted me to be with the group. Today I feel very supported by my team-mates.
“The support of the fans was also very important. I always could walk on the street with no trouble. I was never threatened or anything like that, it was all made up. The people told me to stay.
“I work hard for Liverpool and I will always be thankful to the club.”
The former Ajax player, also insisted he was looking forward to facing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
“English football is the best you can find,” he added. “The atmosphere, the stadiums, the people, everything is incredible.
“The game against Arsenal is very important to know where are we. If we can be on top, fighting for the first four places in the table. It is a nice match against a direct opponent.
“The people are enthusiastic about how the team is playing. We are scoring and we are doing well in defence. The victories against Manchester United and Aston Villa, both 1-0, are a good example.
“Last year, those kind of games we used to draw or lose. If we continue this way, we are going to among the first four.”
