Nuno Correia da Silva blasts Sporting star treatment | OneFootball

Nuno Correia da Silvapoints toLuís Suárezas a clear example of how certain players can be unfairly undervalued. The Colombian striker finished last season as the Primeira Liga’s top scorer, with 28 goals, six more than the runner-up and almost 30% more than Vangelis Pavlidis. He was also the player who scored in the most matchdays, having found the net in 21 of the 34 league games.

- who has been linked with a move away -, recalling that his goals were decisive in at least eight of the Lions’ victories, he contributed, directly or indirectly, to 46% of the team’s goals and remained available throughout a season in which the squad was hit by a wave of injuries.

"Suárez ended the season with 4,373 minutes, behind only Francisco Trincão and Rui Silva among Sporting’s players, and even completed 13 games in a run of 14 matches. These are numbers that leave very little room for doubt. For everything he did, his value is beyond dispute," it can be read in the newspaper 'O Jogo'.

In that regard, the former CDS-PP MP questions the way the player’s situation has been handled: "It is hard to understand, in the light of common sense, the devaluation the player has been subjected to and the intrigues that have been spun around him, all with a great deal of imagination and a good dose of Machiavellianism."
