Suarez says still obsessed about winning but also focused on avoiding 'mistakes'

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has said that he is still obsessed about winning, but he is also focused on avoiding the kind of mistakes that could get him into trouble.

The Uruguayan has made a promising return to football with his new club Barcelona, following a four-month ban from competitive matches for biting an Italian opponent at the World Cup.

Suarez said that he is trying to be the same on the pitch, but without making mistakes. He added that no one's going to take away his desire to win, to triumph, but also added that he is trying to be a bit more intelligent and to take a breath, not only before making those mistakes, but also before arguing, insulting, everything, Sport24 reported.

Uruguay has two upcoming friendly matches, against Costa Rica on November 13 in Montevideo and Chile on November 18 in Santiago.

Though eligible for these games, Suarez is banned from Uruguay's next eight competitive matches and would miss next year's Copa America and some World Cup qualifiers, the report added.
