Suarez inspired by Batistuta

05 April 2011 15:30
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has revealed he has modelled his "never surrender" attitude on former Argentina frontman Gabriel Batistuta. The Uruguay international has made a significant impact both on the pitch and among fans since his £22.8million January arrival from Ajax. He thanked manager Kenny Dalglish for helping him settle in on Merseyside but said he drew most of his inspiration from Argentina's all-time leading scorer. "Gabriel Batistuta reflects the bread and butter of the striker; what his soul must be," the 24-year-old told FourFourTwo. "I think I have that never-surrender attitude from him, because he never gave up."
