Suarez: It takes the efforts of the whole team to defeat the opponent, and you can t rely solely on Messi or a certain player

August 20th, Miami International will play against Tigers in the quarter-finals of the 2025 North American League Cup. Miami International striker Suarez was interviewed before the game.

Suarez first said: "At the beginning of the season, we thought the League Cup was very far away. We were thinking about the CSR and wanted to get a lot of points in the CSR and then face the difficulties of the Club World Cup this summer. But we suffered a very heavy blow in the CSR, which hurt us because we knew we were able to reach the final against the Blue Cross. But in the 180 minutes of the semi-final against Vancouver White Waves, we did not complete our mission (to advance to the final)."

Suarez then talked about the Club World Cup this summer, and Miami International unexpectedly qualified from the group. "The Club World Cup is a very good turning point. We know that if we focus on the game, we can do it... we have no advantage, but if we take every game as seriously as we did in the Club World Cup, we have the possibility of winning the League Cup and the UEFA Championship."

Suarez emphasized: "It all depends on ourselves. We cannot relax for a minute. We must show our abilities on the court. We need all the players, not relying on one player. We do not rely on Busquets, Alba, Messi, DePaul, Suarez... We do rely on all our players. Some players can rely on their own experience and practice Strength to determine the outcome of the game, but facing opponents like Tiger University, we need the efforts of the whole team. "

Finally, Suarez talked about the importance of this League Cup, "This game can be a turning point in achieving our goals this season on a spiritual level. It is a single game that determines the outcome, just like the final, so we have no way out. We must first have a mentality that we will face a very strong opponent. We must try to deal with the game at the best state and limit the advantages of the opponent's players, because they also have weaknesses like us. Whoever makes fewer mistakes and who can better seize opportunities will win this kind of game that requires always focusing."
