“If Suárez thinks that in the MLS you play smoking a cigarette…”

Luis Suárez has five games left at Atléti and maybe no more. The Uruguayan, one of the best strikers in history, arrived from Barça last season and was essential for the rojiblancos to win the league title. He made 21 goals. In 2020 he signed for two years that end this June. It doesn’t look like it’s going to renew. One of his suitors is in the United States. It’s David Beckham. He wants the Uruguayan for Inter Miami that he directs. An ex of LaLiga warns. Gonzalo Higuain. It is not as easy as it looks.

The Argentine, at Inter Miami since 2020, has revealed Vieri on Twitch what the rojiblanco is going to find. “I thought about coming here and playing with a cigarette in my mouth and instead it’s tough. It’s a tough league,” he said. In his head, a comparison with one of the competitions he played in Europe: “I learned that the MLS is similar to the Italian“In Spain and England it is easier to do well, while in Italy, if you don’t know the league, you suffer,” he added.

The situation of Suárez is not the ideal. At 34 years old, when Atlético coined that of LaLiga of 14, he went from starter (he had been in 17 games out of 24) to substitute. Only once more was he a starter, once in eight league games and four in the Champions League. In the last one he was kept to zero against United and in the first leg against City, playing only 8 in the second leg. Even so, he is Cholo’s top scorer this season, with 13 goals, one ahead of Ángel Correa, second with 12. Last time his goals were 21. Since 2022 began he has only scored four goals. And that at an offensive level He continues to be a decisive footballer, as Olocip’s Artificial Intelligence calculates, the third most important in LaLiga. And the first in many sections in the rojiblanco team: successful offensive duels, goals, headers, penalties received, header completion, header goals and offensive contribution.
