The Uruguayan admits it was a tight angle for him to score.
Suarez accepts Valverde’s criticism that he sometimes misses the easiest ones but scores the most difficult goals.
Earlier, the boss said he thought Suarez would have passed the ball instead of attempting a backheel.

Even Luis Suarez couldn’t believe what he just did when he scored an exquisite backheel goal against Mallorca. The Uruguayan described this goal as his all-time best.

Suarez told Marca after the Mallorca win: “It’s the best goal of my career. I knew that it was a tight angle and the last option I had was to hit it with my heel. I was looking to bounce it because I had very little chance against the goalkeeper. Valverde tells me that sometimes I miss the easiest ones and score the most difficult ones.”

Indeed, the Uruguayan didn’t have much space to strike when he received the ball from Frenkie de Jong in the box. Still, he attempted a backheel and succeeded.

Speaking of Valverde, the boss said during the press conference that he thought Suarez would have passed the ball. He added: “I told him [Suarez] that there had been a few easier chances and this one, which was improbable, went in.”
