The time is drawing ever nearer. Every Liverpool fan has been dreading the day. Luis Suarez, the talisman of Liverpool’s title push last season, is about to make his La Liga debut in possibly the biggest game of his career – El Clasico.
As we all know, Suarez was banned by for taking a nibble at Georgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and was subsequently banned from all football related activity, including playing FIFA 14 and training for four months. What followed was Liverpool getting rid of him to Barcelona for a whopping £75,000,000 (though transfer talks had been going on before the Chiellini Chomp). Luis Suarez himself thought he had jeopardised his dream move from childhood with his third bite of his career (that we know of) but Per Guardiola confirmed not long after that the deal had gone through.
He cried when he heard the news. We cried when we heard the news and how we are suffering now big time. Brendan Rodgers was left with the impossible task of replacing a chap who can score goals from anywhere at an alarming rate. His replacement was “Super” Mario Balotelli, someone who can’t score goals from anywhere at an alarming rate.
Luis Suárez provides magic and goals. One of the biggest stars on the global football stage is coming to the Camp Nou having just scored 31 goals to top the scoring charts in the Premier League and tie for the 2013/14 Golden Boot with Cristiano Ronaldo. ~FC Barcelona Website
Suarez scored in his league debuts for both Ajax and Liverpool – could he do the same against for Barcelona against Real Madrid? Whether or not he will start we will have to wait and see, but sites like bet victor are offering decent odds on him scoring in El Clasico with only Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi having lower odds for scoring.
The biggest question isn’t whether or not he’ll start for Barcelona, but whether or not Barcelona actually need him? Barcelona sit 3 points clear at the top of La Liga having not lost a game yet and scoring 22 goals whilst conceded zero in the process. Neymar Junior has 8 league goals to his name, with Lionel Messi on 7…
I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough!
