Suarez convinced that “the best” snub will not affect Messi

It came as a big shock to many when 5-time Balon d’Or winner Lionel Messi did not make the final-three list of nominees for FIFA’s “Best Player award”.

The controversial final-three list instead features Mohammed Salah, Luka Modric (who had an outstanding World Cup) and of course Cristiano Ronaldo.

Luis Suarez, Messi’s Barcelona teammate has now come forward to assure fans that they needn’t bother with how the snub would affect the Argentine, stating that for him the 31-year-old is “the best player in history”

He told ESPN: “I don’t think that any award he does or doesn’t win takes anything away from what he has won and what he keeps on achieving,” 

“It’s just like when I was scoring goals and deserved [to win] things, I was above all that. You prove yourself by working hard, with what you do in every game.

“The prizes that are worth more are the ones you win on the pitch. An example of that is being top scorer: no one can take that away from you because you won it with the goals you scored, proving yourself on the pitch, not because of a vote by players and journalists.”

“There are times when you don’t even need to look at him because you know he is going to put the ball where you want it,” he said. “There are times when you see a space that you can take advantage of and you don’t even have to tell him because he’s already seen it. You don’t need to tell him anything because he sees everything.

“That’s why, for many people, and for me, he is the best player in history – because of what he signifies as a player and for what he’s done in the game.”

Suarez has the utmost respect for his Argentine friend and is never hesitant to show it. The two have bonded playing together at Barcelona and often look for one another on the pitch.
