Suarez needs to rediscover goal touch

Open a Catalan sports newspaper, or turn on sports radio in Barcelona, and you will quite likely see or hear Luis Suarez talking about his new club or his past issues.

Suarez did not speak much in public during his three and a half years at Liverpool, but he has been a fixture in the local media in Spain through recent weeks.

This has been a surprise. Barca talisman Lionel Messi almost never talks to Catalan reporters — and even regularly snubs his own club’s TV channel. Neymar generally prefers to speak directly to his fans via social media.
