Álvaro Morata will not be able to leave Atlético de Madrid… or at least that is what the information from the main media in the country points out. The question is: is he better than Luis Suárez?
The Atlético de Madrid is still looking for a center forward, but it is difficult to incorporate players due to their economic situation. Therefore, everything points to Alvaro Morata he will stay in the rojiblanco club to replace a Luis Suárez that has already passed into the history of the people of Madrid.
The best matches of the Uruguayan were left behind. The best seasons of him, too. The Atletico Madrid has fired this summer the key man in the title of LaLiga Santander of the 2020-21 season. However, in his last year, he fell far short of the killer that he was.
In the 2021-22 season, Luis Suárez scored 13 goals and distributed three assists in 45 games. In the previous one there were 21 goals and 3 assists in 38 games. The decline was evident and that is why his departure has not been very painful either. It is clear that it will be very difficult for Morata to become what Luis Suárez was, but today the question is: is Morata better now? Let’s see her numbers.
Morata’s numbers
The striker for the Spanish national team has just completed a very irregular season with Juventus. He has played 48 games and has scored 12 goals, handing out nine assists. His stats are very similar to Luis Suarezbut at least his age (29 years), calls for more optimism.
Also, if you look at the 2020-21 season, which isn’t that long ago, Álvaro Morata ended up scoring 20 goals and handing out 12 assists in 44 games, numbers that the Atléticos would sign without hesitation for their current striker. Be careful, because if the Spaniard manages to plug in again, it can be definitive.
bruise He starts with the advantage that he already knows the club. He played there for two seasons and in them he scored 22 points in 61 games. It is not that they were very high statistics, but they were not so far from what is usually a battering ram in the Atletico Madrid (who plays rather defensively).
