Why do we love Lui7 7uarez?


"Luis is going to bring the place alive because he is a street fighter." 

Ajax managing director Rik van den Boog

Luis Suárez lives in the future.

Believe me, he does.

Because if he didn't, he wouldn't have beaten Rafael da Silva, Michael Carrick, Wes Brown, Edwin van der Sar, & last but not least, Patrice Evra singlehandedly.

You can call it vision, skill, or God-given talent, but there's one eerie fact attached to that move.


Suárez expected every challenge/tackle that was dished out on him.


It's no wonder he evaded all of them.





1, 2, 3, 4 & I've got the ball thru' your back-4: Liverpool 1-0 Manchester United


And it's all because of those streets.


Streets where little Luis grew up playing, evading everyone ( failing here, and there ) but eventually doing what he does best, scoring.


Even if he's not scoring he's asking for possession, getting furious for letting an opportunity slip away, or just  running to salvage even the 1/100000th opportunity.


Suárez, in short, keeps fighting.


That's why Suárez and Liverpool connect, because they are fighting.


Liverpool, the City, fought Thatcher and won.


Liverpool, the Club, fought two merchants of debt and won.


And Liverpool Number 7, Suárez, is fighting for the club on the pitch.


Liverpool's hard-working class ethics and Suárez's fighting spirit are like twins being re-united after several years.


That's why Kopites immortalize players like Carragher, & Kuyt.


100 per cent, and wait, there's some more.


Suárez, since his move from Ajax, has typified himself into that class.


No wonder he's got us singing the song.


And we can't get enough of that, can't we? 




I came, I saw & I scored without Beach ball help
