Luiz Suarez's face is more often adorned with a smile, but the 27-year-old striker is still climbing out of an emotional pit he fell into after the scandalous end of the World Cup.
The Uruguayan national team and "Barcelona" player was forced to leave the world championship after a scandal, when he was disqualified for four months for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.
This punishment for biting an opponent was given to L. Suarez for the third time in his career.
It seems that the Uruguayan football star is gradually getting back on his feet - he is playing for his national team again, and scored the first goal of the match in friendly games against Costa Rica.
However, L. Suarez admitted that returning to normal rhythm was not easy. He needs psychological help.
"There were very difficult moments after the disqualification. I receive psychological help, and feel full support from the club," - L. Suarez admitted to journalists after the match against Costa Rica (Costa Rica won 7-6 after a penalty shootout).
