Suarez says he is now calmed after ban 'Reformed character'

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez insists he has returned from suspension a calmer person and admits he does not want 'to be the same as before'.
The Uruguay forward has scored three goals in three appearances since serving his 10-match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic.

It is early days yet but both performances have been notable for the 26-year-old’s brilliance and not the controversy which has dogged his time in England.

Happy family: Suarez with his baby son, Benjamin, daughter, Delfina, and wife, Sofia, at Anfield on Saturday

Last weekend Suarez showed his softer side by coming on to the pitch for the pre-match handshakes against Crystal Palace with new-born son Benjamin and three-year-old daughter Delfina, and he believes his family are a steadying influence for him on the field.
'I am aware that in recent matches that I played I’ve been calmer,' he said on his return to Uruguay ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers.
'I am very self-critical and I realised that playing well, with more tranquility, is helping me a lot.
'I realise and I prefer to continue and not be the same as before.'

Suarez surprised many by appearing on the field with his children but it is something of a tradition among South Americans and, despite initial resistance from club officials, they gave way on the striker’s insistence.
