Luis Suárez.The unknown: a punished knee and 33 years
Opinion Luis Suárez, vaccinate them all, by Pedro Simón
Regarding Luis Suárez, Simeone, on his return to the pulpit in the press room, after his quarantine by the Covid, evoked those old and happy memories with the best Falcao, Costa or Griezmann.
He did, and emphasized, it on two occasions.
Because clinging to them, their goals and their appetite, Atlético climbed onto the roof of the European jet set.
"When we had a very good Falcao, a very good Costa, a good Griezmann, we always came close to competing for everything until the end. Luis invites us to continue growing," the Argentine insisted yesterday.
Atlético continues to reside there, only in recent times, with much less ammunition than then.
Since Griezmann left, there has been no certainty that there would be someone who would be able to straighten the course if things went wrong, as happened in Lisbon, against Leipzig.
That tragic night in August, only
Joao Félix
, the most expensive signing in athletic history, showed faith.
Back in the competition, against Granada (4:00 pm), in the Metropolitano, Simeone will have that striker who has been looking for too long.
Two workouts have been enough.
In February, the Argentine coach summoned
Yannick Carrasco
, after just one session, to play the derby at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The Belgian ended up playing 19 minutes and had time to throw a pipe at
Sergio Ramos
.
Technician and player knew each other by heart.
The same thing happens now with Suárez, who has football genetics very similar to that of Cholo on the field when he was a player.
It is not just smell (198 goals in 283 games with Barcelona) but ambition, hunger and, above all, the desire to wear the Atlético shirt.
"He is seen with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm. He was convinced from the first moment we spoke," Simeone pointed out, referring to that first talk in August, after it was made public that
Koeman was
not going to have him.
The role of
Diego Godín
and
Antoine Griezmann
in this operation has been key.
The normal thing is that
Diego Costa
and
Joao Félix
, friends beyond football, form the first attacking couple of the course for Atlético.
Do not forget that ahead, anecdotal or not, will be a leading Granada First.
The rojiblancos start after an intermittent preseason marked by the coronavirus and a single test (now called training with rival), against Almería.
Then
Álvaro Morata
scored
, whose 9, already without any discussion, is owned by the new one: Luis Suárez.
