Honduras legend David Suazo reflects on storied career
MIAMI, Florida – There are several players from Concacaf that have enjoyed storied careers in European football, and ranking toward the top of the list is legendary Honduras FW David Suazo.
After a single season playing in his native Honduras with CD Olimpia, “La Pantera” was plucked away in 1999 by Uruguayan manager Oscar Tabarez Washington to play for Italian club Cagliari, where he would go on to play eight seasons.
Yet upon reflecting on those early days in Europe, Suazo said it was far from easy.
“When I arrived, things were very hard. For me it was a new world, I didn’t really know the footballing identity of where I was arriving. It was all new. It was tough because it was a new idea of play, culture and language,” said Suazo in an exclusive interview with Concacaf.com.
“The only thing that gave me confidence to face everything in my first year was that I was lucky enough to have Oscar Tabarez as my manager. He introduced me to the European world, he talked to me about it
