Luis Enrique Compared Luis Suarez's Return to Freeing a Prisoner from Guantanamo
Luis Suarez is now fully ingrained and playing with the Barcelona squad. However, lest we forget, he was not even allowed to train with his new team-mates when he first arrived at the club.
Suarez received a four-month ban from all football activity after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup in June.
That ban was upheld by FIFA in August, but they did at least free Suarez to finally train and meet up with his new Barcelona team-mates.
Suarez has now documented the moment he met up with his new colleagues in a new autobiography entitled Luis Suarez: Crossing the Line - My Story.
Suarez writes that Barcelona coach Luis Enrique compared his return to the squad to that of a prisoner being released from the notorious Guantanamo Bay detention centre in Cuba.
As per the Daily Mail:
"It wasn't the most orthodox of presentations to the rest of the squad either, the day I was finally allowed to train with the team.
Barcelona's manager Luis Enrique gathered in the players and told them: "Well, they have finally got him out of Guantanamo to be here with us today for training..."Everyone applauded the released prisoner and I did my best not to look too embarrassed about being the centre of attention.
"
We are not sure we would compare living freely in a Barcelona mansion to Guantanamo, but it is understandable that Enrique was glad to finally work with his big summer signing.
