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 in recent months. The commentator believes 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 he does not seem to believe in the virtues of repentance. The fact that he was unable to clearly express an apology is more relevant than the simplistic nature of some comments might suggest,” he wrote in the newspaper 'Record'.

V. Pinto: "Agent Fali Ramadani was trying until the very last second of the transfer window to find a move for Suárez"

The analyst also recalls the information that the possibility of a departure remained on the table until the very last moment of the 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 dwelling on the reality check he received.”

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