Néstor Lorenzo says Sporting player is in terrific form | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is enjoying a great spell at Sporting, which has led to him being called up once again to represent his country. Colombia manager Néstor Lorenzo praised the striker’s form, highlighting how much he has developed since his first call-ups.

“Luis Suárez has improved tremendously since the first time he was called up to the national team, when he was still at Almería; he has grown a lot. He is an example of a player who works to improve and grow, and has the intelligence to understand the right timing of the process. He is in a fantastic moment, hopefully he enjoys it,” he said in comments to Rádio Gol Caracol.

Colombia’s training camp began last Saturday, March 21, in Orlando. However, Suárez only joined up after the match against Alverca last Sunday. Sporting’s 'number 97' will represent his country in the friendlies against Croatia and France in the United States, on March 26 and 29, respectively.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at €28 million – has made 42 appearances: 25 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and one in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 3,403 minutes he has been on the pitch, the centre-forward has scored 33 goals and provided five assists.
