Frederico Varandas’ big gamble sets clear target at Sporting | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas' management bet everything on signing Luis Suárez, with the aim of replacing Viktor Gyokeres. Knowing this, the Colombian is giving his all at the start of the season, but he still needs to achieve a very specific goal with the lion on his chest.

The five goals scored so far - with the last one securing three points for the lions in their away match against Estoril - end up being 'bland' for the player, as all were valid for the Liga Portugal Betclic. Against Napoli, the forward wants to reverse the trend, with or without Fotis Ioannidis by his side.

Suárez's main goal for the second round match of the Champions League is clear: besides Sporting's victory, the Colombian wants to make his debut by scoring in the millionaire competition, something that is one of his biggest dreams and has been on his mind since the game against Kairat, in which he missed several opportunities.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 8 million euros – has played nine matches. The Sporting player has participated in all official matches at the start of the season: six for Liga Portugal, one for the Champions League, and another for the Super Cup. In the 674 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored five goals and provided three assists.

The green and white team will return to the field next Wednesday, October 1st, against Napoli. The match, counting 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.
