Humberto Suazo: My relationship with Monterrey is damaged beyond repair

Training with the youth team and left out of the club's Clausura plans, the former Rayados favorite is bewildered at the punishment being handed down from the coach and directors.

Monterrey's Chilean star Humberto Suazo has admitted that his days at the Mexican club are numbered, after being banished from the first team following a preseason full of controversy and transfer speculation.

The Rayados reacted angrily to 'Chupete's' insistence that he wanted to leave after four years with the team, as well as his late arrival for preseason training. The 30-year-old has been relegated to training with the Under-20s, and was informed that he would not be included in the team's official photo for the 2012 Clausura campaign.

Speaking on Tuesday evening, the Chile international was hurt and confused by his treatment, and insisted that he had given sterling service to Victor Vucetich's side.

"It hurts me deeply that, after everything I have done for this club, they would treat me in this way, my family reads everything that gets written [in the media]," the striker lamented in quotes published by Triunfo.

"The truth is that the directors have been shooting their mouths off, saying things, awful things. I am training here on my own, they are punishing me. I think that they are like this because there was an offer [from Boca Juniors]. If they had to sanction a move, it should have been years ago and not now that there is an offer and after I told them I wanted to leave and be closer to my family."

The Argentine champion saw an offer rejected at the turn of the year, and as negotiations for Santiago Silva advance, interest from the Bombonera seems to have cooled for the unhappy former Zaragoza man.
