Luis Suárez, from apotheosis to silence in a week

• Chronicle: Atlético gets stuck in its own mud again

In football it is not enough to have one of the best strikers on the planet, it is also vital to entertain him.

Luis Suárez, unbridled in his debut, against a Granada already split in two, yes, he left the field again in thought.

If three days ago, in El Alcoraz, he could at least regret having spared

life

, this time, against Villarreal, he had nothing to regret.

He did not shoot between the three sticks, although Atlético did not.

Asphyxiated without spaces and without mistakes from the rival, and, above all, drowned and orphaned of a ball with which to do what he knows how to do better than anyone else in the rojiblanco team: score goals.

The Uruguayan is getting an idea of ​​what he will find at Atlético during the season.

A life on the grass very different from the one he enjoyed in

or

.

Although it surely has not caught him by surprise.

It was 70 minutes in which

and

, the Villarreal centrals, looked like windmills but ended up being giants.

"When we had to generate play to do damage, we could not have lucidity", synthesized Simeone at the end of the duel.

And without that lucidity, with which this time

did not have either

, it doesn't matter that Suárez, the striker who scored 198 goals for Barcelona, ​​is your projectile.

The charrúa even tried to participate in the elaboration to undress the yellow square.

His three shots, innocent and forced, ended up far from

goal

.

Nothing to do with his brilliant first time as a rojiblanco, where half of his four shots ended up in the cage.

And in just 20 minutes.

Oblak, as usual

It is difficult for Atlético to be a protagonist.

Take the helm against an opponent who is not in a hurry.

In this case, in addition, his midfielders lacked precision (and a lot).

It has happened twice in four days, and it will probably happen more in the future.

For a long time, others have been waiting, while the rojiblancos strive to tear down an armored door.

Against Villarreal, Joao Félix, without a moment's respite from the yellow shirts, could not invent anything either.

Their outbursts of genius will best illuminate the path of this team, which is no longer in transition, but still retains much of the tics of the past.

Without the creativity and freshness of the Portuguese it is more difficult for everyone.

Including Luis Suárez, of course.

Neither

, who for now chews his substitution without problems against the Uruguayan, as he agreed with Simeone and the club, hit the key as the premiere.

"They closed the spaces well. We should have gone on the sides, tried with centers ... In the end we played better, but we have to start like that from the beginning," added

.

He, as usual, remains the great certainty of this team.

Without his gloves, Atlético would go around licking the wounds from their first defeat.

In his case, there are situations that are best lived in silence.
