How did Atletico Madrid’s Uruguayan “divine striker” Suarez become famous?

I guess some fans will joke that Suarez became "famous" because of the biting incident in the 2014 World Cup or the goal-line handball in 2010. Let me talk about, in my eyes, the process of Suarez becoming famous. After all, when I first heard his name, Suarez's fame was not as great as it would later be.

More than ten years ago, Internet resources were not as abundant as they are now. For fans and friends at that time, paper media was very important. How was Suarez's performance at Ethnic and Groningen in the early days? I really don’t know, it probably wasn’t considered “famous” at that time. Until around 2007, the most popular player in football at that time was Brazil's Kaká. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were also shortlisted for the top three Ballon d'Or awards, which heralded the arrival of spring for the "post-80s" stars.

It was also in 2007 that I saw an introduction to a young player in the "Football Club" magazine. The protagonist was Suarez from Ajax. At that time, Suarez was only 20 years old. I had no idea what his previous performance was. I just thought he looked like Dutch forward Ma Kai, and the name "Luis Suarez" was so easy to pronounce. Later I remembered that in the early days of Inter Milan, there were A legendary superstar also has this name.

However, I was not very optimistic about Suarez at that time. After all, at that time, I felt that Uruguay’s “household registration book” was not very good. In those ten years, Uruguay often missed the World Cup, except for Forlan and Ray. Koba, I have never heard of the other players’ names. I also felt at the time that if it was difficult for Uruguay to participate in the World Cup, it would be difficult for Suarez to have a sense of presence. I just didn't expect that the next year, I saw "Football Club" magazine and recommended another Uruguayan player.

That’s right! I’m talking about Cavani of Palermo in Serie A. In terms of appearance, Ka Dazuo has more presence than Su Ya. I was also thinking that in the same national team, there are two young forwards, plus Forlan in his prime, this lineup is okay! Sure enough, in the 2010 World Cup, Uruguay reached the semi-finals. I confirmed at the time that Suarez No. 9 was really Ajax's Suarez. In the World Cup quarter-finals, Suarez's "volleyball" style of play detonated the football world.

I wonder if I remember correctly? After the World Cup, it seems that the Uruguay team also played a warm-up match with the national football team? The football media also emphasized that Fran, Suarez and Cavani are the "trident". In the middle of the 2010-2011 season, Chelsea bought Torres from Liverpool for a sky-high price, and Liverpool added Suarez and Carroll. Although Carroll is much more expensive than Suarez, I have always been biased against local players in the Premier League and feel that Suarez must be stronger.

Everyone knows the next story. Suarez helped Uruguay win the Copa America and became Liverpool's big star. He became more powerful year by year. Messi and C Luo snatched the European Golden Boot award from his hands and was considered one of the strongest strikers at the time. Unfortunately, Gerrard slipped at a critical moment and Liverpool lost the 2014 Premier League championship. Suarez once again attracted attention when he bit Italian defender Chiellini during the World Cup group stage.

After the World Cup, Suarez moved to Barcelona and entered his peak period. He formed the MSN combination with Messi and Neymar, sweeping the Champions League, La Liga and King's Cup football matches. He moved to Atletico Madrid last year and is still in excellent form. Of course, these are things for later. You have to ask, when did Suarez start to become famous? All I can say is that the first time I heard this name, he was still at Ajax. Suarez rose to fame during the 2010 World Cup. Since Liverpool's late days, Suarez has been the strongest center in football.
