Sporting legend: Suárez is more agile, quicker and driven than Pavlidis | OneFootball

Paulinho Cascavel, former Sporting striker, evaluated the Colombian international, Luis Suárez, and compared him to Benfica’s Greek player, Vangelis Pavlidis. For the ex-goalscorer, the Lions’ player has more interesting qualities than the Reds’ forward.

“Suárez is livelier, connects the play more, is more agile, faster, and has more energy than Pavlidis, who also has strong attributes, but is slower. Suárez is a little fox in the box,” said the Brazilian in an interview with the newspaper O JOGO.

The top scorer of the 1987/1988 championship does not forget that the Colombian had the difficult task of replacing Viktor Gyokeres. “We can’t forget that Suárez is here to replace Gyokeres, a striker who was very successful at Sporting. It’s never easy for a player to make a difference when he’s always being compared to his predecessor,” he said.

It’s worth remembering that the 28-year-old athlete, on the list of the most lethal signings this season in the European calendar, is in first place, confirming the great performances he’s been showing on the pitch, ahead of names like Luis Díaz.
