Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has said that he needs to be more aware of his actions on the field after he was handed a four-month ban for biting an opponent for the third time and is ready for the scrutiny that awaits him on his return to playing competitive football again.

Suarez will not be able to play a competitive game for Barca until October 25 due to his latest indiscretion when he clashed with Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in June while playing for Uruguay.

And the former Liverpool striker said that he is ready for the scrutiny that will await him on his return to action. He said that he is calm because it was already hard in England and he coped with it, Sport24 reported.

Suarez said that he is used to playing with this kind of pressure, and added that not so much pressure, but with a lot of eyes looking at him. He said that people look at what one is doing and the player has to get used to it, even more so now because he is part of the best team in the world so there will be a lot more eyes watching than before.

The striker said that one has to be wary, accept the responsibility and be intelligent.
