Suarez takes on fatherly role
Luis Suarez has spoken about his fatherly relationship with countryman and Anfield teammate Sebastian Coates.
In an interview with Uruguayan newspaper Ocavion, the pair chatted about adapting to life in England.
And Suarez is reported as saying: "I'm Seba's godfather here but it seems by now he's become a son. I think I have two kids now, a girl and a boy!"
The striker spoke to the English TV cameras post-match for the first time after our 2-0 victory over Everton.
"In the Everton match I had been voted man of the match and they asked me if I wanted to talk. I decided to try it and it turned out I did pretty well," he added.
"It's part of what we have to experience there. I was emotional and excited, so some of it came out well and some came out wrong. I need to experiment further."
Meanwhile, Coates talked about his fight for a first-team place at Anfield.
The centre-back has had two run-outs so far, starting our League Cup tie with Brighton after a substitute appearance against Tottenham.
"I'm trying to adapt as quickly as possible," Coates apparently said. "I had to play [against Spurs] and that was very good, although I understand that I will have to wait for my time as there are very good players at Liverpool who have many years in the club.
"Over the last week we've luckily played on very nice days, but the climate is quite strange. Learning the language also takes quite a lot of time, and we're both helping each other learn."
