Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde thinks his team is lucky to have an attacker in the class of Luis Suarez. According to Valverde, Suarez is a special player.
Suarez's sharpness had been doubted by many parties this season. However, Valverde claimed to always believe in the ability of the Uruguayan player.
Finally when Barcelona won 5-1 over Real Madrid in the continuation of the La Liga match at Camp Nou on Sunday (10/28/2018), Suarez managed to score a hat trick.
In total, Suarez has contributed seven goals and six assists in 14 matches in all competitions.
"This is a normal situation. Last season with Suarez, the same thing happened. "Everyone talks about him not scoring goals, but because he works very hard, the consequences are the results," Valverde said as quoted by Soccerway.
"In the long run, that's what he did. We won because of having him on our team. I don't think many people will ask me about Luis Suarez, but obviously after printing a hat trick, the value is always there, "Valverde said.
Thanks to victory over Madrid, Barcelona are top of La Liga with 21 points. Suarez and Deportivo Alaves' superior friends were second.
