From Copa America's Thigh to Missing the Copa America, From Premier League Reject to La Liga Top-tier: His Three-Year Transformation

Luis Alberto Suárez, once known as the man who could pass the ball to Messi like no other, has made a remarkable comeback. This season in La Liga, he has been virtually unstoppable, scoring an impressive 8 goals in just 14 appearances. One might mistake these statistics for those of Kylian Mbappé. With such formidable attacking prowess, one wonders why he struggled so much at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League in previous years.

This can be attributed to the different emphases of the two leagues. The Premier League places greater importance on explosive physical attributes and intense competition, to the point where some fans jokingly refer to it as "English roughness." On the other hand, La Liga values team coordination and technical skill, making it more favorable for technically gifted players. This explains why Suárez, who failed to shine at Tottenham, found great success after transferring to La Liga.

When news broke that Suárez would miss the World Cup due to injury, there was genuine concern for the Argentine national team. Many prominent football figures claimed that his absence would deal a devastating blow to Argentina. Having watched his performance in the Copa America, it's clear that his passing ability and footwork are top-notch, giving the impression of having two Messis on the field.

Suárez has experienced the highs and lows of life in recent years, but fortune still favors him. Before the North American World Cup, he has returned to a familiar league where he can play at his best. This will undoubtedly aid his journey in North America, and it is believed that Scaloni will recognize Suárez's efforts, allowing him to make up for what was lost in Qatar during the North American tournament.
