38-year-old Su Shen made 2 passes and 1 shot! Miami advanced 3-1, and the legend is still continuing!

At 7:30 a.m. on August 7, Chase Stadium in Miami was coated with a layer of golden light. When the referee blew the final whistle of the third round of the League Cup Group B group stage, the score "3-1" freeze on the scoreboard - Miami International won the Mexican Cougars as he wished, and the 38-year-old Suarez once again stood in the spotlight: he contributed 1 goal and 2 assists, and with his "only three goals" performance, he personally secured a qualifying spot for the team.

Key Mr. {2 passes and 1 shot, he used "Soviet magic" to ignite the field

In the first half of this game, the Mexican Cougars took the lead, and Jorge's volley made away fans temporarily fall into a carnival. But Miami International's response came quickly and was extremely Suarez-like "crawling" - in the 45th minute, he sent a straight pass from the front of the penalty area. DePaul, who was ambushing the side, understood it and equalized the score with a push shot. This pass seems simple, but it accurately tear opens the weakest link of the opponent's defense line, which is the crystallization of Suarez's years of experience in top strikers.

The real "Su Shen Moment" appears in the second half. In the 59th minute, Miami International got a penalty kick. Suarez stood in front of the penalty kick, his eyes as calm as if he was practicing a free kick on the training ground. Running up, pushing, and lightly picking shots - the ball drew a strange arc and crossed the goalkeeper's fingertips, and "spoon penalty" became his signature move again. This goal not only allowed the team to overtake the score, but also reminded the fans of the on-site penalty performances that made the opponent desperate when he was in Barcelona.

If the penalty kick is the "art of ending", then the assist in the 69th minute is the "magic of creation". At that time, Miami International launched a quick counterattack. Suarez took the ball and observed his teammates' running position. At the moment when he attracted the attention of the defensive players, he sent out a straight pass through the defense line. Allende understood and inserted it and shot. The score of 3-1 was locked, and the fans in the stands cheered with the slogan "Suarez Immortal" as if paying tribute to a legend that never fades.

Data will not lie: At the age of 38, he is still the team's sharpest spear

This victory is of great significance to Miami International - they have won 3 games (including 1 penalty shootout), and they have locked in advance the qualification to qualify for the group. As the absolute core of the team, Suarez delivered an amazing answer: so far this season, he has contributed 3 goals and 4 assists in 5 appearances, and averaged 0.8 goals per game, which is a "dimensionality reduction strike" among the veterans of the American League.

What is more worth remembering is that this state is not accidental. Just this year's Central and North American Champions League, he scored 5 goals (2 goals and 3 assists) in two games, proving with his actions that he has never lost his edge due to his age.

As the Miami International coach said after the game: "Luis (Suarez)'s running, passing and finishing ability is still an irreplaceable part of our offensive system. He reminds me of the fact that at Barcelona many years ago, Messi always had a partner who could understand his running position - now, Suarez is our 'key gentleman'. "

From Anfield to Camp Nou, and then to Miami: His legend has never ended

For many fans, Suarez's story has long been engraved into the depths of football's memory. At Liverpool, he formed the "Red Army Soul" with Gerrard, winning the Premier League Golden Boot + European Golden Boot in a single season, and using his real skills other than "diving" to win the 2013-14 Premier League championship for the Reds.

came to Barcelona, and he formed a "MSN" combination with Messi and Neymar, scoring 59 goals and 22 assists in a single season, using the ultimate cooperation of "triangle to pass" and "inverted triangle assists" to complete the trio of Champions League + La Liga + Cup of Kings. In those years, his "scorpion swings his tail", "God's hand", and "scalpel straight" have become classic textbooks in football.

Now, 38-year-old Suarez traveled across the ocean to the American League. Some people are worried that he will decline due to his age, and some people question whether he can adapt to the new environment. But he gave the answer with his actions: on Miami's turf, he is still the "key gentleman" who can decide the outcome of the game. As an old fan at the scene sighed after the game: "I watched him play with a defender at Camp Nou on TV, but now I watch him assist his teammates at his doorstep. Time may have left traces on his face, but his football soul is still so vivid. "

The final whistle sounded, Suarez was thrown high by his teammates, and the sun shone on the ends of his hair, reflecting the fine lines at the corners of his eyes. But at that moment, no one felt that he was old--because the true legend was never defined by age. And this is perhaps the most touching thing about Suarez: he has proved with his 18-year career that love and persistence are always the most primitive charm of football.

Every corner of the green world is hidden in stories - the power game in the locker room of the wealthy, the Jedi counterattack of grassroots teams, and the secret world of retired players. I am Brother Hua. From the perspective of 15-year-old fans, I can see through the bloodiness and warmth inside and outside the green field.
