Suarez: The ball simply doesn't just want me to score with it

Thegoalmac can reveal Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has admitted his frustration at finding himself unable to end his Liga goal drought, lamenting that "the ball doesn't want to go in" for him.

Suarez has to start finishing his chances and stop this ball blame game all the time, he misses could have cost Barca yesterday, even though he had a legitimate goal incorrectly ruled out as offside. Read what he said after the cut.

"It’s an odd situation," the former Liverpool striker told reporters after the game. "The ball doesn’t want to go in but I’m always working on it.

"The goalkeeper saved the first one, but the second made me angry because I could see that I wasn’t offside.

"I took a step back to make sure I was in the right position, in line, and that’s why I was angry. It was a fair goal."

Despite his disappointment, Suarez insists that he is capable of forming a prolific attacking triumvirate with fellow forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar.

"My relationship with Messi and Neymar on the pitch is improving all the time," the 27-year-old declared. "But there are other players in the squad who can also do their bit to help the team."

Indeed, Suarez was delighted that Sergio Busquets had decided a game in Barca's favour that could easily have gone either way.

"In games like these, you know you’re up against a tough opponent, and so you enjoy winning more and it strengthens the team," the ex-Ajax man enthused.

"Of course it could have been a very different situation. We could have taken a couple of chances and won the match, but then again, so could they."
