Suárez named MVP in Sporting rout, but fans think otherwise | OneFootball

Luis Suárez was considered the best player on the field in the Sporting - Estrela da Amadora match (4-0), but not by the fans of the Alvalade club. In a poll conducted by Sporting on social media, the “leonino” fans chose Eduardo Quaresma as the MVP of the match, with 29.1%, ahead of Hidemasa Morita (26.5), Francisco Trincão (22.6), and Luis Suárez (21.81).

At the 7th minute of the match, after a perfectly executed free kick by Francisco Trincão, the ‘number 72’ headed the ball in at the heart of the box and celebrated effusively, as is his custom whenever he scores, imitating Paulinho’s famous celebration.

Rui Borges regularly used Eduardo Quaresma last season, with the player proving crucial, even scoring a very important goal against Gil Vicente. However, with the switch to only two center-backs, the young player dropped down the squad hierarchy.

As our newspaper previously reported exclusively, (Find out more HERE) the 23-year-old defender had not accumulated the minutes he wanted and believed he could contribute more to the team. Even though he is not a regular starter, the player has no intention of leaving the club.

This sporting season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Eduardo Quaresma - valued at 17 million euros - has played only eight matches. In this start to the season, the player has participated in a total of 517 minutes, tallying one goal and one assist to his name.
