Luis Suarez of Granada CF, will most likely be the 4th Olympian rookie. Pierre Gerbeaud, Colombian football specialist, tells us a little more about this striker.
Surprise of yesterday evening, announced by OM, Luis Suarez should pass his medical examination and officially join Marseille. The Colombian international (4 selections) will have to find a place in the middle of Milik, Dieng and Bakambu. Author of 8 goals last season, the 24-year-old striker could not avoid relegation from his club. Pierre Gerbeaud, Colombian football specialist, gives us his opinion on this fast and determined player.

The closest in the current team to his profile is Bamba Dieng – Gerbeaud
“What to say about Luis Suarez? Already like Valderrama and Falcao he was born in Santa Marta. He had a very very difficult childhood, extreme poverty, complicated neighborhood, violence, drugs, not very good things. For the rest he did not play in Colombian D1, only in D2 at Leones FC, a club in the suburbs of Medellin. He left very young for Spain, he mainly played in D2. Well, after that he goes very fast, his first quality for me is speed and harassment. A bit like Cavani or Diego Costa, he likes to press high, to harass. So that’s rather positive and it will rather correspond to the public. Afterwards, he has both feet, which is also an advantage, he scored some nice goals with his left foot, but he is also right-footed. It’s a good market opportunity, he will really bring to the team in the style of Tudor. We’ll see, for me the closest in the current team to his profile is Bamba Dieng, so here I hope that doesn’t mean that Dieng will leave but in any case, here for me he can occupy the position of 9, he can also play a little lower. To see how it will be used but hey it’s interesting and I can’t wait to see it. He will be the first Colombian in history to wear the OM jersey. » Pierre Gerbeaud – Source: Marseille Football Club (09/19/2022)
