Varandas’ pricey signing distant from Sporting, warns: Slip-ups matter | OneFootball

Luis Suárez returned to the Colombian national team squad. Despite having his weaknesses pointed out by the former assistant coach, the forward who is a new addition to Sporting is among the players called up for the squad aiming for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where he believes there is a good atmosphere.

"We are all with positive energy because we want this game to bring us closer to the World Cup. We want to be present in this tournament again and we feel we have the best energy for what's ahead", he said to the Colombian media.

Qualification is one of Colombia's goals, which led the Sporting forward to warn the entire squad: "We need to stay calm so nothing goes wrong, and this doesn't only apply to the players, it applies to all jobs, where we all have good and bad days".

"When you miss a chance, you have to think about the next one so you don't risk getting stuck on that failure. There are many teams that come to play defensively, but we have to find a solution to that problem", admitted Luis Suárez.

This season, with the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 8 million euros – has played five matches. The Colombian from Sporting has participated in all official matches at the start of the season: four for Liga Portugal and one for the Super Cup. In the 373 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored two goals and provided three assists.
