5 reasons why Luis Suarez is the weakest link in the Barcelona attack
The Barcelona attack has always been a standout amongst the best on the planet. May it be Messi-Suarez-Neymar or Messi-Suarez-Dembele this season, Suarez has always been the one who scores goals and is known for his finishing ability. He has been one of the top goal scorers for Barcelona and has additionally won the golden boot for the 2015/16 season.
Regardless of which way you put it, it doesn't look good for Luis Suarez right now. Having substantiated himself as a standout amongst Europe's best strikers for years, nobody would have doubted him but it looks like he's tired now; he isn't the same anymore.
The striker has not scored in his last five games, which is awful when leading the line for Barcelona, however, this looks far more awful when it comes to European tournaments.
Today we'll discuss the major reasons why Luis Suarez has become the weakest link in the Barcelona attack.
#5 Age Factor
It's often said that a player starts looking old when he turns over 31 and more often it's true in case of forwards. Their speed and sharpness in their finishing begin to slow down.
In case of the Uruguayan striker, it's the same. He has started looking slow, tired and not the same warrior anymore. Even he understands his case and has agreed when asked in an interview about signing his successor at Barcelona.
He said, "It's normal that Barça would look for a number nine, I'm 31 years old. "
The striker has now turned 32 and showed the world why a replacement for him should be brought soon. Barcelona does not have a proper striker at the moment to replace Suarez and are in search of his heir. They brought Kevin Prince Boateng, already 31, to help Suarez to rest for some matches but it looks like Valverde do not trust Boateng much. He has only played 60 min in the La Liga and still not played a single minute in the Champions League.
The age of Suarez is not doing to decline like his form and a replacement has to be found soon as he is one of the weakest players of the Barcelona attack.
