Cerezo: “Luis Suárez adapted easily, Atlético is a family”

Enrique Cerezo, president of Atlético de Madrid, commented that the signing of Luis Suárez, winner of the EFE Trophy for the best Ibero-American player in the Spanish League last season, has been “a great joy for all the athletic ones” and expressed that his team has a “magnificent squad and coach”, and that they are going to “fight to the end” in this campaign.

The leader of the rojiblanco club learned about the incorporation of Luis Suárez “by phone.” “At that moment it gives you great joy. I was hoping to confirm it. It was a great joy and I think it has been a great joy for all the athletic players, “he explained to EFE..

“I had been living in Spain for quite a long time and the adaptation of a foreign player who comes to Spain is complicated. In this case, he knew the Spanish League, all the players, all the teams and it was easy for him to join Atlético de Madrid, which as he knows is a family, “he added.

And he highlighted the “great tradition of Ibero-American players” of the rojiblanco club. “Whenever a good sporting opportunity has come from a good player, we have always fought to bring him. We have had great players for many years, since Atlético de Madrid is Atlético de Madrid. They are professionals and race players “he declared.

Real Madrid’s victory against Athletic leaves Atlético seven points behind the lead, with one game less. “We also have a game to play, so the gap will have to wait for us to play with Granada. We have a magnificent squad, a magnificent coach and I think we are going to fight a lot until the end, “he concluded.
