Suarez: I'm driven by hatred of losing
It would be stating the obvious to say that Luis Suarez does not like losing football matches.
In every single game that he represents Liverpool, the Uruguayan has a single-minded mission - to create or score the goals that earn his team three points.
So far this season, that policy has worked; the Reds have won 18 of their 28 Barclays Premier League fixtures and can currently boast second place in the table.
On an individual level, the club's No.7 has notched more times than any other player, with 24, and assisted a colleague on 10 occasions, again enough to top the division's charts.
The statistics suggest that the 27-year-old, who pledged his long-term future to Liverpool by signing a new deal in December, is reaching the peak of his powers.
And it seems he agrees, telling FourFourTwo: "I'm 27, at my peak and feel very happy within the club because I'm part of the best football in the world: the Premier League.
"I'm enjoying every game I play and my family life here, which is very important. I like winning; I hate losing.
"I'm one of the best players in the world, so having the opportunity to win everything - and losing only occasionally - is what drives me. I'm ambitious. I want to win and won't stop until I score one, two or more goals.
"I want to enjoy the here and now. Every player should live in the present, to enjoy what they're doing. Thinking about things I did as a kid or at Ajax aren't going to improve me on the pitch.
"I want to stay in that position and look to the future. What happened in the past happened - you have to move on."
Although Suarez thrilled supporters from his very first appearance for the club after sealing a switch in January 2011, his finishing was often put under a spotlight during his opening 18 months.
Such criticisms have been dismissed by his clinical performances under Brendan Rodgers, with 54 goals in 71 games since the Northern Irishman took the managerial reins.
The Uruguay international credits two things for his development into the most feared forward in the Premier League - his increased maturity and the work undertaken each day in training.
He said: "I don't approach a chance by wanting to do the most difficult thing possible or anything like that. Neither do I think about an easy chance in that way, because if you miss, it stays on your mind.
"Basically, it's in training that this improves, and your confidence grows. That's how things change. On the pitch, I don't think anything changed.
"As the years have gone by, I've matured too. You become more intelligent, you think more and you learn from the errors you commit. I've always known when I've played well and when I've played badly.
"Now it's the same when I know I've made a mistake, and when I haven't. It's from these situations that I realise how far I've come from leaving Uruguay as a 19-year-old. I've learned a lot."
