Inter Miami star Luis Suarez addressed the recent criticism he has been on the receiving end of.

Veteran striker Luis Suarez has hit back at his detractors following a stellar performance for Inter Miami, where he opened his MLS goal account with a bang. 

The 37-year-old Uruguayan, plagued by long-standing knee issues, showcased his class with a brace in a resounding 5-0 victory over Orlando City at Chase Stadium.

Battling Critics and Knee Woes

Addressing the criticism he's faced, Suarez bluntly stated, “From an individual standpoint, I am happy to be able to help the team. A striker and professional soccer player has to be accustomed to living with daily criticism. People in soccer do not have memory so in that sense I am very used to it." 

Despite his age and physical challenges, Suarez remains unfazed, noting, “I have been playing professional soccer for almost 20 years, so I do not worry about things that people might be saying.”

Suarez's performance drew praise from Inter Miami's head coach Tata Martino, who emphasized, “I said last week that to analyse a player when the team did not play a good game is unjust. The reality is the team played very well and Luis shined in all his splendour, not only as a goal-scorer but also with his assists.”
