There is a very strong argument that Luis Suarez is the best striker of his generation. Above Karim Benzema and above Robert Lewandowski on the rest of the tracking pack. From the time of Liverpool, when the club was the first Premier League title at the time, to the formation of MSN next to Neymar and Lionel Messi, the South Americans never fell below world class through long primes.
Even now in Intermiami, Suarez still shows his quality as he approaches his 40s. He is one of the players who are likely to constantly fall into incredible technical capabilities, regardless of their natural physical decline.
But it is the admiration of so many legends that have come before him that examines Suarez’s position as one of the best of his generation. Among those who are adored by his abilities, former teammate and Liverpool legend Stephen Gerrard said it best: “Lewis appears to be cleaning at this point.
“He has earned everything and is fortunate to have the world-class talent that will help Lewis play with us here, help us with great things and succeed.
“He’s there at a great distance as the best player I’ve played. It’s not rude to anyone else. There was a top talent in the club and country, but this blowjob can do a lot.
“He’s not like most footballers. There’s a disappointment around him, but I think if this blowjob stays for a few more years, there’s a really big night.”
Gerard’s admiration was music to Suarez’s ears at the time, and even after he joined Barcelona, South America never forgot the impact Liverpool had on his career.
Suarez: Before Barcelona moved, Rogers educated me
After grabbing more headlines in Spain, looking back at his time at Anfield, Suarez wasted no time before handing enough credit to Brendan Rogers for the impact he had on his career.
“He’s one of Europe’s best coaches and I’m not surprised he’s trying to get back into the game because it’s the game he loves. I’m glad he’s taking the time to leave Liverpool.
“He should look at the top job with top clubs playing Champions League football, and the majority of my education depends on him and his management team.
“Of course he works to strengthen his team, but he really works on a one-on-one level with the players. He sits with each player in the club and works where you can improve. (Rogers’ Suarez)
Rodgers and Suarez achieved a great deal of what many thought were unthinkable in Liverpool in 2014 before the Reds were defeated in the Premier League title race. Alas, it is clear that both the manager and the forward have got the best of each other in the face of defeat.
