Luis Suárez, the forward that finish with the maldicion of the Barça

The stage of Samuel Eto'or in the Barça marked a period. The Cameroonian forward no only form part of the exitos of the team of Frank Rijkaard, but it lived also the principle of another golden cycle, the one of Pep Guardiola. The African, with his harp, his effort and his goals, turned into a reference in the eleven, a reference that cost long forget.

And it is that the course of Eto'or precipitated the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a tip that wanted to Guardiola but with which never arrive to congeniar. In spite of everything, the Swedish no cuajó bad numbers, but after only a year in the City Condal undertook the way to Milan. Although they did not choose the dorsal, also Bojan Krkic and Thierry Henry tried it, and later David Villa and Alexis Sánchez, some with more success and others with less, but always without this feeling to having hit fully.

But everything change on 7 July of the 2014. An intense negotiation with the Liverpool and 81 million euros meant the landing of Luis Suárez in the Camp Nou. An ariete that brushed the Premier, culé since it was young and with a long history behind. The Uruguayan was an evident risk, and more after the sanction of the FIFA that had him four months without playing, but finish showing that his contracting was but that hit.

Leaving of sides his tremendos numbers, 121 goals and 70 assistances in 147 parties in these three seasons, Luis Suárez has meant a revolution in the game of the Barça, that has recovered this danger in the tip that removed him the also successful 'false 9'. The forward is a nuisance by his pressure, by his game of backs and because it has allowed to free to Leo Messi and Neymar, more influential without so many defences on.

Although his game no always is the one who more shines, his work is stood out and indispensable in the Barcelona game, whereas fixed defences and opens more spaces. Besides, to Luis Suárez does not be missing him the spirit 'matador', that has carried him to mark decisive goals for the numerous titles of the Barça of Luis Enrique.

A lot but that a '9'

After his arrival to Barcelona, and no without some initial doubts, Luis Suárez confronted the curse of the '9' and demolished it with more ease of the expected. Because the charrúa showed that his tuning with Messi and Neymar is perfect, and that his participation goes much more alla of his already of by himself important goals.

Like this, the Uruguayan is the perfect piece in the gear of the best forward of the world, to which collaborates with his goals and...Assistances. Although the pass is not his greater virtue, the ex of the Liverpool is all an example of will, since even prpers having been accused to have little quality, has been able to deliver some at all desdeñables 70 assistances, that have cost him to proclaim better pasador of LaLiga until in two occasions. Ladies and gentlemen, Luis Suárez.
