Luis Suárez’s message that sounds like ‘farewell’ from Atlético

Atlético’s fans don’t want a ‘Falcao Case’ with Luis Suárez. The Colombian, red-and-white legend, is not in the Paseo at the foot of the Metropolitano: he did not reach the hundred necessary games that open the door to the plaque. He stayed at 91. The Uruguayan, who arrived in the summer of 2020, has 79. His contract ends this June and it does not seem that he will renew. There are no movements, only rumours, future plans that seem not to have him. And, as the journalist from AS, Jorge García reported this morning, he was waiting for the rojiblanco club, for a meeting that in December they told him there would be in February and he never came.

This afternoon, as a hashtag filled Twitter, #unaplacaparasuarezthe rojiblanca fans showed all their affection to the Uruguayan striker, one of the great architects for Altético winning last LaLiga, Suárez and his 21 goals. Well, Suárez himself appreciated the initiative and the warmth with a tweet that sounds like a farewell.

At 16 of the hundred?

“Thank you very much to everyone for the love and support of ALWAYS. I thank you very much from my heart,” he wrote. That ‘always’, those capital letters. His role has changed since February, since ‘LaLiga de 14’ was coined, from the undisputed starter to molding on the bench. The message, in addition, was accompanied by a video with numerous messages received under that #unaplacaparasuarezwhen there are only five games left for his contract to end if there is no renewal. He would stay in 84 games. At 16 of the hundred, from the plaque that recognizes footballers like him, the legends.
