After the madness of Monday, expectations laid heavily upon the shoulders of 24-year-old Luis Suarez. His goal, however, in Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Stoke removed a lot of pressure.
"It is a weight off your shoulders scoring your first goal," he told the UK Press Association. "You know everyone is keeping an eye on what you do, so it does relax you and helps from the word 'go.'"
Though some Liverpool supporters may still harbor some hard feelings for Fernando Torres and his exit to Chelsea this week, the Reds' newest star showed tremendous respect for the former No. 9.
"We all know Fernando is a top player and everyone would like to play with someone of his quality," Suarez said. "Now I am here to play with other great players, too."
