Sevilla midfielder Suso: My game didn't suit Liverpool

Sevilla midfielder Suso admits his football never suited former club Liverpool.

The Spanish midfielder moved to Anfield as a teenager and made 21 first team appearances for Liverpool before establishing himself as a key player at AC Milan.

Now back in his home country with Sevilla, the 27-year-old told Goal: “It is true that I left home very young, when I was 15 years old.

"What I have, I have worked for, my family has helped me a lot. It was a very delicate and very strong thing to leave when I was 15 years old, for me and also for my family.

"It is clear that what I wanted was to play football and I have done it.

“They are different stages [in my career]. At Liverpool, it was just when they changed ownership, at Milan I also had several managers.

“I left Liverpool after an operation and the first two months were complicated because I had just come back from the injury, after being out for five months.

"I think it was a beautiful period in Italy. Compared to Liverpool, it is more similar to Spain, and that part was very good. Football is slower, more organised and tactical than here.

"Here, we play with the ball more, but I got good things from everywhere and they were five very enjoyable years."
