Vítor Pinto blasts Sporting star, says he tried to leave on deadline day | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is responding on the pitch to the controversies that marked the summer at Sporting, but Vítor Pinto believes the Colombian’s goals do not erase everything that happened over the past few months. The commentator feels the striker is benefiting from his sporting performances to win back the fans’ support, although he issues a warning for the future.

“Luis Suárez is paying for absolution from his summer sins with goals. The Colombian posts psalms, shows his religious side, but does not seem to believe in the virtues of repentance. The fact that he has not been able to actually say sorry is more significant than the simplistic nature of some comments might suggest,” he wrote in the newspaper Record.

The analyst also recalls reports that the possibility of a departure was on the table until the very last moment of the transfer window. “Agent Fali Ramadani was trying until the very last second of the transfer window to find a move for Suárez. Therefore, the staged smiles are merely the confession of someone who failed to achieve his goal of leaving and is still brooding over the reality check he received.”

Despite four goals in three matches, the deputy editor of the sports daily believes this good run could have an unexpected effect: “Sporting fans celebrating on social media prefer to ignore that the more goals the striker scores, the greater the potential for the Suárez saga to return in full force when the winter transfer window comes around”.
