Van Basten: I didn't think Suarez could play for Barcelona

The Dutch icon says that he felt the Uruguayan striker would have been better suited to playing for a Serie A team than the Catalan giants.Netherlands legend Marco van Basten has admitted that he did not believe that Luis Suarez could make it atBarcelona.The Uruguayan moved to Camp Nou last summer from Liverpool and, after a slow start to life in Spain, has scored 24 goals in all competitions.However, his fellow former Ajax striker believed that he would have been better suited to a career in Serie A to La Liga.I was expecting him to be a really good player but I didn't think of him playing for a team like Barcelona," he is quoted as saying by Sport.
I felt he'd be more suited to a team like Juventus or Inter because the football in Italy is a bit different to the football they play at Barcelona.Barca play a really clever type of football, close together with everyone at a high level technically. I think he is more of an opportunistic forward who should just go forward and see what happens.He does that in a marvellous way but it's not the way he plays at Barcelona.
