01. Luis Suárez – Club Nacional de Football

Suarez Video Rating: five / five

FANTASTIC

Luis Suarez is enjoying a fantastic season with Liverpool; scoring goals in each match of the Premier League his performances have been so superb and astonishing that the Uruguayan is being taken into consideration as a captain for the team.

The player that ran through a number of obstacles in the initial stages of his career with Liverpool and was even ordered to train alone at some point of his time with the club is now one of the top candidates to wear the armband of Liverpool.

The main man of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard will be out for the remainder of the year due to a hamstring strain and forcing Brendan Rodgers to consider on who will be next in line to endure it.

There has certainly been a drastic change in the behavior of Suarez who has been playing with a less aggressive temperament as he used to have some time ago and so far has only been booked just 1 time so far in this season, which is a big improvement for a player that was ranked at the 5^th spot in a Spanish football website ‘’ El Gol Digital’’ in a list that contained all the world’s dirtiest football players.

Former Ajax coach Marco van Basten criticized Luis Suarez for his abilities to collect yellow cards and the Uruguayan attacker is widely considered to be one of the players that tends to dive more in order to create a favorable position for his club, either that might be a penalty set-piece or free-kick.

The list goes on and on for Suarez and the incidents he has experienced and while it remains true that he has seen a huge improvement both inside and outside of the pitch, but should he even be considered an option for being the captain of Liverpool is the question that now emerges.

SUAREZ MUST STAY

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has suggested that it is extremely important that the club retain services of Luis Suarez amidst a lot of speculation linking the Uruguay striker with a move to Real Madrid in the January transfer window. Suarez handed a transfer request to the club in the summer after growing tired of life without Champions league football. He has stated that he remains extremely happy with Liverpool as a club, but he wants to test himself in the highest level possible and the Champions league provides an opportunity for him.

Arsenal came in with an official offer for him in the summer. Even though they are not expected to renew their interest in January, Suarez will be subjected to interest from other clubs across Europe – most notably Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are thought to be unhappy with their current striker Karim Benzema, who has been very poor in front of goal. Dalglish, who was the man behind bringing Suarez to Anfield in the January 2011, states that the club should retain the 26-year-old at all costs.

‘There will be speculation about Luis Suarez leaving the Reds. There always is. But I don’t think he’s going anywhere. He’s thriving in this Liverpool team and everyone at Anfield knows he is crucial to maintaining a challenge. It has got to the stage now where, if they buy in January, I think both might have a real chance of staying up there,’ Dalglish said.

His importance to the team has been so far proved by the eight league goals he has scored this season. He is level at the top of the goal scoring charts with Daniel Sturridge and Sergio Aguero.

The Liverpool’s non-executive director also says that his club along with Southampton have done enough to be considered as title challengers this season.
