Luis Suárez nearly snatches Benfica player, sends message to Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting shared, last Tuesday, December 2, some exclusive words from Luis Suárez after the Lions’ victory over Estrela da Amadora, 4-0, in which the Colombian international scored a brace. The post already hints at the upcoming derby against Benfica.

"100% intensity and focused on the next challenge!" reads the post from the green and whites on social media, aiming to describe the video of the 28-year-old player, who says: "I’m happy with the team’s victory. It was a well-played match. From the first minute, we came out with the intensity to win all three points, and that was reflected on the scoreboard".

It’s worth noting that, with the two goals scored against Estrela da Amadora, Luis Suárez has reached 12 goals this season. Nine of these accurate shots were scored in the National Championship, which means the ‘number 97’ is now just one goal behind Vangelis Pavlidis, who currently leads the ranking.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 20 matches: 12 in Liga Portugal Betclic, five in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In 1,382 minutes, the striker has scored 12 goals and provided two assists.
