Expert: Luis Suárez has made Sporting forget Gyokeres | OneFootball

Luis Avelãs believes that Luis Suárez's work at Sporting has already made people forget about the absence of Viktor Gyokeres. The expert had the opportunity to analyze the triumph of the lions against Estoril by 1-0 last Saturday, September 27, in a match for the seventh round of the Portugal League

"Without making a performance as convincing as we have seen, the lions were the strongest team, who dominated practically the entire game and, yes, the victory suits them well," he told Record newspaper, also admitting that Rui Borges' pupils were losing steam as the game went on, starting in the first half.

"We were still in the 1st half and things, which were never easy due to the minimal advantage, could have gotten very complicated if Marqués had tied. After the break, Sporting sought the essential, to hold the score, but was far from playing well. Top teams need to be able to win even when they don't play anything special. The Sporting had this merit," he added.

Next, Luís Avelãs talked about the performance of the MVP of the match, Luis Suárez. The Colombian forward of Sporting scored again and the journalist believes that he is already making people forget Viktor Gyokeres: "Gradually he is making his way and nobody remembers that a few months ago the lion had a huge dependence on Gyokeres".

The green and white emblem will take the field again only next Wednesday, October 1, against Naples. The match, for the second round of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, at 8:00 pm.
