Luis Enrique: What he said, really meant and definitely didn’t

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique is piqued.

What he said:

“(Luis) Suarez, fat? He is a naturally stocky player. He is at his ideal weight and he is ready to compete. If you want we’ll give him liposuction but I don’t think he needs it.”

What he really meant:

“Now, now, now. Suarez has scored two goals on his return and yet the press claims he’s overweight. Maybe it’s all the critical newsprint he’s been chewing on since the World Cup that’s making him appear lethargic to you…”

What he definitely didn’t:

“What’s a little bite or two for Suarez? He’s earned it.”
