Liga - Luis Suarez: Should Barça still count on his old rifle?


predecessors. Of these three profiles, none of them managed to finish his career at FC Barcelona. How, then, would it be possible to believe in an extension of the dream for Suárez?

Trigger number five
First, there is history. Last weekend at Camp Nou, Suárez scored an important goal in the win over Leganés (3-1). A goal that some judge tainted by a foul on the goalkeeper Iván Cuéllar, but a valid goal anyway and, in a way, representative of all the aggressiveness that can inject El Pistolero in every encounter with the blaugrana tunic. With this achievement, Suárez scores his fifteenth goal in nineteen games played in this Liga 2018-2019 and brings your total to 167 units in 223 official matches. A staggering ratio of 0.75 goals per game, three goals scored in four games played. Suffice to say that since his arrival in Barcelona in the summer of 2014, the native of Salto is doing serious damage in the defenses.

Luis Suárez, with his trademark namesake, succeeds in style with his Spanish namesake, Barça's first Ballon d'Or in 1960. Here he has entered a very prestigious circle, fifth place in the ranking of the club's top scorers. created since one hundred and twenty years. Suárez joins Josep Escolà, who spent eleven years at the club, and raises his head to watch Pepe Samitier (184 goals), László Kubala (194), César Rodríguez (232) and the untouchable star Leo Messi, legend above the legends azulgranas (577). If seeing Suárez enter the podium before the end of his sports career would be a real feat, the question of the durability of his excellence remains a question mark for the Barcelona management.

"" If Barça has to find a new center forward? Of course !""
In this, Barça has just recorded the loan of Kevin-Prince Boateng, transparent for his first at the club in the defeat in Cup King in Seville on Wednesday (2-0). But beyond this service, the essential is elsewhere: like Suárez, Boateng is part of the generation 1987 and does not represent the future of Barça in the long term. On this subject, Suárez had already spoken on the subject. "If Barça has to find a new center forward, of course, I'm 31 years old and I'll soon have 32," he said on Uruguay's Sport 890 radio last November. and think about the future, so recruit players, I'm very self-critical towards myself, even when things are not going well. " A champion's answer, who knows that everything can go very quickly from the moment when the goals do not return as in the good old days.

Nevertheless, Suárez has a major asset to extend his adventure in Barça: his friendship with Lionel Messi. Constantly in the shadow of the Argentine with oversized statistics but close to the fivefold Golden Ball in private life, Luisito has fun with Leo every day, between sharing a well deserved asado or a joke before to enter the lawn and feast the spectators come to admire the two main stars of Barça. Therefore, would it be better to leave Messi the presence of Suárez in the workforce so that La Pulga is not too isolated in the locker room? With a contract that runs until June 2021 at FC Barcelona, ​​Suárez undoubtedly holds his future in his hands through performances, individual and collective.

The bait of gain ?
On the side of the presidential platforms, Josep Maria Bartomeu would not look so badly at the possible departure of Suarez in accounting, in order to "think like a club". The reason ? Always check to keep a certain conformity with the rules of financial fair play, the institution taking precedence over personal cases. After having just disbursed 86 million euros bonus included to acquire the services of Frenkie De Jong next season, Barca could be led to continue this generational renewal and sell to acquire new cash. For Suárez, Barça will not be able to have the butter and the pie, and will have to face a tough choice. One day when the other, Luis Suárez will no longer be "at the highest" ...
