Barcelona Coach: Luis Suarez is priceless
The former Liverpool man has scored three Liga goals this season, but has been criticised for not finding the net as regularly as usual.
The 30-year-old scored a stunning 40 Liga goals two seasons ago, and 29 last season.
The Uruguayan was criticised for a below-par performance in yesterday’s 2-0 win over Malaga, but Valverde was adamant.
“Suarez? I’m not worried at all because the important thing for strikers is that they have chances,” Valverde said in a press conference.
“He had a great match against Atletico and was lively against Olympiakos. That aggressiveness and ambition in the long run will benefit us.
“Luis Suarez is priceless for us. I don’t see any problems with him.”
Barcelona have been almost flawless this season, their only Liga draw coming in the away game to Atletico Madrid, where Suarez managed the Blaugrana’s leveller.
