Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard, has revealed why he left Luis Suarez to sort out his problems and did not intervene when the Uruguayan had issues at the club.<\/p>\n

Suarez\u2019s time in Liverpool was not without many controversies with the striker involved in multiple biting incidents.<\/p>\n

He eventually ended his time at Anfield acrimoniously after he was forced through a move to Barcelona against the wishes of then Reds manager, Brendan Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Suarez went on to win countless trophies at Barcelona before moving to Atletico Madrid in 2020.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Gary Neville on Overlap, Gerrard recalled the difficult moments with Suarez.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a few incidents that were tough. I tried to be a friend to him and advise him, I was a bit older than him obviously, a bit more experienced.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he had the situation with Brendan Rodgers, I tried to be a bit of a go-between but there are certain situations where you\u2019d have to back away and let him and his people deal with it themselves, not that I didn\u2019t want to help him but sometimes the situation is bigger than it was.\u201d<\/p>\n
