Description & Specifications

Luis Suarez was a young boy who had already fallen in love with football when his family moved from the countryside to the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. The technical skills and imagination of this street child had an impact at the country's biggest club, Nacional, before being spotted by Dutch scouts who brought him to Europe. Suarez was taken from Ajax to Merseyside by another iconic number 7, Kenny Dalglish. From that moment, he terrorized Premier League defenses, leading the rejuvenated Liverpool to its most thrilling season in 24 years. However, there is another side to Luis Suarez: his naturally explosive temperament that drives his competitiveness on the field. There was the very public episode with Patrice Evra of bitter rivals Manchester United and the biting of Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic. At the World Cup in Brazil, in a physical encounter against Italy, he bit defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder. Banned from football for four months, criticized by the press, he was driven out of the country. The summer brought the ultimate twist, as he became one of the most expensive footballers of all time, moving from Liverpool to Barcelona. In his first season at Nou Camp, he helped Barcelona to win La Liga and the Copa del Rey, scoring 16 goals in 27 games. In "Crossing the Line," Luis Suarez speaks candidly about his fascinating career, his personal journey from being a street-corner kid to a performer on football's biggest stage, and the relentless drive that sometimes pushes him to go beyond the limits.
