He said: “The feeling is of emotion and joy. For a long time I couldn’t come, everyone will understand that because of a calendar issue which is difficult to compromise.

“I wanted my children to see where I come from, where I was born as a footballer.”

Suarez joined the Nacional senior ranks at the tender age of 16 having entered the club’s youth system two years earlier.

It was after that, in 2006, that the trip to Europe changed his life, beginning with a spell at Dutch club Groningen.
