Jakarta –
Luis Suarez is getting ready to turn a new chapter into his football career, together Atletico Madrid. He is now on the verge of a debut match for his new club.
This week Atletico Madrid completed the transfer of Luis Suarez from Barcelona. The 33-year-old Uruguay striker was carried off with a transfer of around 6 million euros.
Luis Suarez came to Atletico with a reputation as Barcelona’s all-time top scorer, only losing to Cesar and Lionel Messi Messi. Suarez scored a total of 209 goals (198 goals in official competitions) during his time at Barca in 2014-2020.
With Luis Suarez’s reputation as a goalkeeper, Atletico Madrid even willing to give space by releasing Alvaro Morata to Juventus. For information, Morata is now 27 years old and Atletico’s top scorer in all competitions last season (16 goals).
Atletico seem to have big expectations for this Luis Suarez. The former Ajax and Liverpool star seems to be immediately expected to become a Los Colchoneros goal machine this season.
Along with that, there was also the first challenge for Luis Suarez at his new club: immediately scored a goal on his debut match. This is also not an easy challenge.
It’s okay, Brand noted that in the last 50 years, only 12 new Atletico recruits have scored a debut goal right away. Diego Costa is the last name who can do it, after returning from his period at Chelsea.
The difficulty of the challenge of making goals in the debut match at Atletico cannot even be answered by a number of the top players the club has ever owned, such as Radamel Falcao, Antoine Griezmann, Mario Mandzukic, Fernando Torres, Alvaro Morata, or Diego Forlan.
Atletico Madrid itself has a scheduled match against Granada on Sunday (27/09/2020) tonight, but it is predicted that Luis Suarez will not play because he has just joined. The next game is in midweek against Huesca. We’ll just wait any time Luis Suarez will make his debut and how much will bite his debut together Atletico Madrid.
