The only Spanish Ballon d'Or in history and regular contributor to Cadena SER, Luis Suárez defended the youth team this Friday in the Què t'hi Jugues program of SER Catalunya. And he used Arthur as an example of a player who does not make a difference and why he could perfectly be playing Carles Aleñá, one of La Masia's jewels. “Arthur so far has done nothing. Could Aleñá not have done the same? If a player comes from outside, he comes to play at a high level. When they talk about Arthur here in Italy, it seems like they are selling Pelé. They shouldn't have seen it. “
Suarez made it clear that he has nothing against Arthir (“I beg your pardon”) but he was relentless. He defined him as a tiqui-tiqui player who “when he has scored a goal he has celebrated so much that he has scored 18. Sometimes players sign up because they are Brazilian and because they are Brazilian they do not play well.” The Barça and Inter legend, however, made it clear that if the Brazilian changes his football and begins to perform, he will have no problem admitting it: “Well, I will say that this Arthur is not the Arthur of before.”
