Beyond the goal, our matches have involved a lot of work to create spaces for teammates.
The three of us want to help the national team with goals, but we are playing a different role, helping in different areas of the field.
We must be proud of that work," Suarez stated.
Suarez also reflected on his difficult international debut during heavy defeats against Ecuador and Uruguay. "I arrived at a very complicated time for the Colombian national team.
I debuted in a double fixture to forget: 0-3 and 1-6.
It was a bitter moment, but from then on I worked to take advantage of the opportunity," he added.
