Addressing the criticism he's faced, Suarez bluntly stated, “From an individual standpoint, I am happy to be able to help the team. A striker and professional soccer player has to be accustomed to living with daily criticism. People in soccer do not have memory so in that sense I am very used to it." 

Despite his age and physical challenges, Suarez remains unfazed, noting, “I have been playing professional soccer for almost 20 years, so I do not worry about things that people might be saying.”

Suarez's performance drew praise from Inter Miami's head coach Tata Martino, who emphasized, “I said last week that to analyse a player when the team did not play a good game is unjust. The reality is the team played very well and Luis shined in all his splendour, not only as a goal-scorer but also with his assists.”
