Luis Suárez reaches Morata … but in half the games

Luis Suarez he settled his scoring drought in the derby and has already linked two games scoring. The gunman shows his reliability with numbers that allow Atleti to fight for the League and him for the top scorer. Against Athletic he scored his 18th goal and has already equaled those achieved by Morata in the competition as a rojiblanco. The Uruguayan can boast, yes, having done it in less than half the games, 23 by 49. Coast, in this last stage of two full seasons and another two half, stayed in 12 in 61 league encounters.

More than Morata and Costa together

The other comparison that the former Barça player has blown up also has to do with the past year. The rams of the 19-20, Morata and Diego Costa, stayed at 17 so many in the league, twelve and five respectively. Suárez, with twelve days ahead, has already exceeded the sum of both. The team has 50 goals today and last year, at this point, barely counted 29.

A '9' of decisive goals

The goals of the charrúa are usually also synonymous with points for Atlético, usually a triumph. It could be said that Suárez is a talisman, because when he scores, the team doesn't lose and almost always winsin 13 games with a goal, 11 wins and two draws), but in reality he is a decisive player. The 9 he added against Athletic his fourth so much winner of this League, as were those who broke ties against Eibar, Alavés and Getafe. As you remember @atletico_stats, no one has delivered as many winning shots as him. Tip targets can be directly translated into 15 points for Atleti (three against Eibar; two with Athletic, Alavés, Getafe, Elche and Cádiz; and one with Celta and Real Madrid). In this sense, he is the most decisive footballer in the League.

The owner of penalties

On the other hand, Atlético has found in Suárez the solution to an old problem: penalties. Simeone had been without a reliable pitcher for years and the Uruguayan has taken the step forward. He has marked the three that he has thrown, in Ipurua, in Carranza and this Wednesday in the Metropolitan. In fact, He has also been encouraged by the fouls. In Cádiz he scored one and against Levante another crashed in the squad. Suárez has proven to be a resourceful forward.
