"The first person responsible for the performance of Suárez is me"

Atlético play Elche at the weekend. The hosts are top and they want it to stay like that.

Simeone spoke ahead of the match. He is confident that Luis Suárez will start scoring again. "The first person responsible for his performance is me", he defended him.

"As soon as he recovered from COVID-19, we put Suárez to play, without giving him time, but he is very important to us. Little by little he is going to get his rhythm and let's hope that, against Elche, after this week of training, we will find the footballer that the team needs, determinant and one of the best there is", he continued.
