Despite having two goals in two games, Luis Suarez is no longer physically well, which is why the Uruguayan team loses a player when defending. Tabarez, Uruguayan coach, continues to bet on Suarez but more for something historic than for performance. Suarez should give up his place like Carlos Vela did.

After the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Carlos Vela decided to resign from the Mexican team because he believed it was time to leave their place to younger players. This decision was correct and Mexico has been able to find new players for that position. Suarez should learn from Vela and step aside.

It is difficult for a player to give up his national team but it also speaks highly of Vela to know that it was no longer the time to continue occupying that place. Suarez for his part continues to want to be in a place that no longer belongs to him. If he's still slow and out of rhythm, the coach will force him out and he'll have to go out the back door.

Luis Suarez represented the Uruguayan national team for more than 10 years, being one of the best players in the history of the country. Although he still continues to play at the highest level in Atlético de Madrid, he has been showing that he is not like he was 2 or 3 years ago. Luis Suarez's football rhythm is much lower than in other years. Suarez must demonstrate his greatness and leave the place to a new, younger player.
