Pinotes Batista tells Suárez at Sporting: Instead of Bible verses... | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is going through a delicate period at Sporting and even admits the possibility of leaving Alvalade in this transfer window. André Pinotes Batista says the Colombian has been behaving badly and that goals may solve the problems.

"Suárez naturally deserves a separate score. Someone who was cherished and so often elevated to the leading role cannot respond to disappointment with subterfuges of mystery and religion. Instead of biblical passages, perhaps he should be advised to make an act of contrition before those who have always been by his side and wish to be so again. There are mistakes that can be corrected on the pitch. Signing a Turkish pre-election agreement is one of them", he wrote in his opinion piece for Record newspaper.

The Colombian has been going through turbulent weeks, from being linked with Fenerbahçe during the Club World Cup to an episode of frustration in training, as well as whistles from some of the fans. Losing his place in the starting lineup to Fotis Ioannidis has also helped increase the discomfort of last season’s top scorer in the league.

It is worth remembering that João Gonçalves, Almería’s sporting director, revealed that Suárez showed the same attitude in Spain. "I remember that in the year we were relegated he also did not want to stay at the club. I spoke to him and he ended up accepting my argument. Then he went on to have his best season ever and was transferred to Sporting", he explained.
