Luís Pedro Sousa analyzed the situation of Luis Suárez at Sporting and believes the forward should get minutes again against Alverca, following the trend of recent matches. The commentator believes the Colombian will continue to be the target of criticism from Sporting fans and could still leave the Club,as our newspaper previously reported in an exclusive.
"Following the logic of the last few games, Luis Suárez will be entitled to, at the very least, a few more minutes against Alverca. And he will once again face a crowd that stubbornly refuses to forgive the signs of disloyalty he has shown since the end of last season," he wrote in the newspaper 'Record'.
L. Pedro Sousa: "If he wants (or has...) to continue at Sporting, he will have no alternative"
The analyst believes that, if he stays at Alvalade, Suárez will have to rebuild his relationship with the stands: "If he wants (or has...) to continue at Sporting, he will have no alternative. He has to make peace with the fans and, unlike what happened against V. Guimarães, be absolved by Alvalade's court, something he will only achieve with better performances on the pitch," he argued.
Luís Pedro Sousa also addressed the case of João Palhinha, drawing a comparison with Suárez’s situation: "It is rare, for that matter, for fans to forgive disloyalty, but this is definitely not the case involving João Palhinha. The midfielder had the chance to return to Alvalade, but Sporting did not want to wait until the end of the transfer window, nor certainly make the financial effort made by Benfica, and quite legitimately decided to back Altimira," he explained.
