Liverpool’s Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez is enjoying a great season.

Suarez has scored 24 goals thus far for the Reds, who are now in 2nd spot on the Premier League table.

Suarez has admitted that he is finding it tough to overcome his dark side, and all the publicity that comes with it.

He described himself as being more of an angel with a little bit of the demon inside.

The Mirror quoted Uruguayan star, as saying that he is constantly learning about his behaviour, and added that everyone needs to know that he is essentially a shy and very timid individual.

There was huge drama around Suarez being unhappy at Anfield and wanted out.

Cut to six months later and Suarez claims he couldn’t be happier at Anfield after sealing a long-term contract last December.

The 27-year-old said that perhaps he would like to play in France some day, but not before fulfilling his Anfield dreams.
