A mix between “Edinson Cavani and Diego Costa” landed in Marseille! – Sport.fr
New recruit at Olympique de Marseille, Luis Suarez is little known to the general public. Target of André Villas-Boas two years ago, it is now time to discover the profile of the 24-year-old Colombian striker.
“What to say about Luis Suarez? Already like Valderrama and Falcao he was born in Santa Marta. He had a very difficult childhood, extreme poverty, complicated neighborhood, violence, drugs, not very nice things. For the rest he did not play in Colombian D1, only in D2 at Leones FC, a club in the suburbs of Medellin. He left very young for Spain, he mainly played in D2. Well, after that he goes very fast, his first quality for me is speed and harassment. A bit like Cavani or Diego Costa, he likes to press high, to harass. So that is rather positive and it will rather be presented to the public. Afterwards, he has both feet, which is also an advantage, he scored some nice goals with his left foot, but he is also right-footed. It’s a good market opportunity, he will really bring the team in the style of Tudor. We’ll see, for me the closest in the current team to his profile is Bamba Dieng, so here I hope that doesn’t mean that Dieng will leave but in any case, here for me he can occupy the position of 9, he can also play a little lower. To see how it will be used but hey it’s interesting and I hate to see it. He will be the first Colombian in history to wear the OM jersey.said Pierre Gerbeaud, Colombian football specialist, on the set of FootballClubMarseille.
