Luis Suárez is preparing to play another decisive match at the World Cup. The Sporting striker is expected to be one of Colombia’s main weapons against Switzerland in a round-of-16 clash that could secure the South American side a place in the quarter-finals.

Speaking ahead of the match, the forward admitted that the constant travel throughout the tournament has caused some fatigue within the squad, but assured that the team is ready to respond. "Physically we’re fine, but it’s obvious there is some difficulty when we have so much travel. We knew what we were up against, we did mental work as well as physical, and that wears you down, but we’re prepared for what’s coming," he said.

Although he has yet to get off the mark in the tournament, Luis Suárez said he is not worried about individual numbers and stressed that the main objective is to help Colombia stay in the competition. "Zero stress about that. The important thing is to help the team. We’re creating chances and that is something decisive. We have to be worried when those chances are not being created," he explained.

The Sporting striker also recalled his performance against Ghana, which he considers to have been his best on a personal level since the start of the tournament: "Against Ghana I felt very good, perhaps it was my most impressive game on a personal level and that’s something I want to build on," he added.
