Luis Suarez: I want truth from Koeman; Barcelona treating Xavi properly

Nacional striker Luis Suarez wants the truth from former Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman.

Suarez was pushed out of Barca to Atletico Madrid upon Koeman's arrival.

He told Marca: "Time goes by, and yes, out of politeness and respect, I would greet him. If I met him, I hope that Ronald would have the greatness, which he had as a player at the club, to tell me the truth to my face about why I left, and that I didn't leave for footballing or technical reasons."

On Xavi, he also said: "I think so. He is showing it, without being perfect. He is a coach who grew up there, and knows what the club and the fans need.

"I see many conditions for him to go far as a coach, and, in addition, they gave him good tools for it, they gave him the players that he needed and wanted. It's up to him to prove it."
