A statue for Luis Suarez! On vacation in his country, in Uruguay, the former FC Barcelona striker participated in the rescue of a man who was threatening to hang himself from a tree, according to information from the local daily The Observer. It all started on January 3, when a 49-year-old man climbed a tree and attached a rope to it, threatening to end his life if his ex-partner, with whom he wanted to talk, was not brought to him.
Informed of the drama that was unfolding, and being close to the scene, in the coastal town of Ciudad de la Costa, a suburb of the capital Montevideo, Luis Suarez and his wife Sofia Baldi decided to join the Republican Guard, who had just spent the night trying to dissuade the man from ending his life. After speaking with his compatriot, the Inter Miami player managed to dissuade him from taking action.

The man gives up his suicidal plan
“Luis Suárez approached us and what we did, in this moment of tension, was to speak to him with empathy and calm so that he would stop his action,” said a member of an NGO, present alongside Suarez, on the Uruguayan channel Telenoche.
The words of the footballer, his wife and others at the scene managed to touch the person in question, who eventually came down from the tree around 5:30 p.m. on January 4. This is quite a feat of arms that the former Blaugrana can add to his CV. We clearly prefer that to seeing him bite his opponents.
