Suárez has rope for a while

Luis Suárez has been a blessing for Atlético. And not only for his goals, where With the goal achieved in the derby, he already has 17 in the league, a figure that only Messi (19) surpasses in the fight for Pichichi. The Uruguayan had a fantastic game against Real Madrid, always playing what the team required and once again proving that he is a footballer for big games.

In the first few minutes directed the pressure above Atlético, indicating to the teammates who to close and even preventing Courtois from getting the ball easily from behind. The first he had was for the inside, throwing the uncheck at the right moment for Llorente's great delivery and defining with the outside with mastery against the Belgian goal. His ability to look up, see the goalkeeper and fit the ball in the right corner shows what a great striker he is. But also, as the minutes passed, when the game got rough, he always brought out positive things for his team.

I play backwards, winning balls outnumbered, looking for the best placed partner and causing faults to stretch and give oxygen to their partners. Left a gold assistance to Carrasco that he could not score in hand-to-hand with Courtois and was about to get his double, but he also ran into the white goalkeeper. A sensational game that did not serve to win for Benzema's final draw, but that showed that there is still Suárez for a while. The Uruguayan left Barcelona through the back door, but at 34 he is in a good physical moment (although far from the speed rush of years ago) and He has endowed the team with experience, placement, understanding of the game and that forcefulness that it suffered so much.

With his so much to Real Madrid, Luis Suárez has scored 17 goals in 22 league games (one more than last season with Barça), where all of them have served to score points. Beyond your debut with a double against Granada in a match already decided (6-1) or the lace with the third goal against Cádiz (4-0) In the Wanda Metropolitano, Suárez's goals have been decisive on the scoreboard. He opened the match against Celta (0-2), sentenced Betis (2-0), made a double to defeat a combative Elche (3-1), the only goal of the match against him Getafe (1-0), the victory goal in 90 'against him Alaves (1-2), a gold double to go back to Eibar (1-2), a goal to put Atlético ahead against Valencia (3-1), a double against Cádiz (2-4) and the two goals of the match Celtic (2-2).

A finisher like he hadn't had the team for years. When we are only on matchday 26 (Atlético recover today against Athletic on matchday 18), Suárez has numbers that were not seen in the club since the 2017-18 season, when Griezmann scored 19 goals in the league. The following season the Frenchman would once again be the team's top scorer in the championship, but with 15 goals. And the 2019-20 season was Morata with 12. To be eligible for LaLiga, Atlético needs a championship finisher, and Suárez has fallen from the sky. If in the 2013-14 season it was Diego Costa who saw the huge goal (27 league goals)This is the Uruguayan who is leading the team's scoring weight. A player who beyond goals, has given the team a competitive advantage and that, after overcoming a small bump in front of the door, He does not intend to give up in the fight for the title and to show that those who gave up on him were notably wrong.
