Luis Suarez and Atletico Madrid continue their great season, with the Colchoneros looking on the safe path to the championship and the striker meanwhile leading the table of conquerors.

Yesterday (Sunday) Atletico defeated Cadiz 2: 4 and increased its gap from second place, Suarez scored a double and reached 14 league goals this season, and in Spain can not help but grin at Barcelona, ​​who released Suarez for free to its rival for the championship and since then see from the side how he flourishes While she limps.

As you may recall, Barça decided to "refresh" the ranks in the summer and release Suarez after he appeared to be in decline.

And not only did she release him for free, she also agreed to pay part of his contract, so in fact she is still paying for a player she does not have and leading her rival to the title.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, have left Martin Braithwaite, who has scored just three league goals since arriving - an amount that looks ridiculous compared to Suarez's 14 this season alone.

Leo Messi, it will be recalled, described Barça's decision to release his good friend Suarez as "crazy".

In an interview with him Messi said that "what happened to Suarez is crazy, he left for free, and playing the remaining years on his contract with our opponent who is fighting with us for the same titles, it's just unbelievable ... Lewis' departure had nothing to do with my decision to leave, but "I felt it was crazy how they treated his departure and that Barcelona let him move on to our direct rival."

Former striker Dimitar Barbatov also said this week that "Suarez is a machine .. Barcelona gave him up, now Atletico are first in the table and he was torn with laughter ... I am happy for him because Barcelona did not treat him well, relative to the fact that he was one of its most successful players ever. "She acted disrespectfully, and now he's making a living in Madrid."

And really, he seems to be enjoying himself.

Yesterday he scored a goal with a beautiful free kick, and after the goal he pointed a finger at coach Diego Simeone, who himself also smiled a big smile.

Simeone explained that "this week he and Lamar and Joao Felix trained on free kicks, and I told him I had not seen him score a free kick for a long time. He told me he did it many times, so I told him I do not remember when was the last time. That's why he smiled at me after the gate. "

Suarez himself said that "in Barcelona it was difficult to score goals with free kicks because he had Messi, but in Liverpool and the national team and Ajax I scored such goals ... A few days ago I practiced on it and Lamar was better than me, but this time the kick was a little further away, so I asked him To kick, I took it, and ... ".

According to Suarez, "When a striker is fit, one should take advantage of such opportunities, and I try to help the team as much as I can."

Gustavo Poit, a former Uruguayan player who now serves as a commentator, said of Suarez who celebrated 34: "Atletico made an important decision, which for some people was not easy. But for Cello (Simeone), it was easy. After Barcelona did not want him, he had "Obviously he's bringing him in. He knew Lewis was coming up with a 'I'll show them what it's mentality. He's a bit like me, in the Uruguayan section -' Didn't you want me? Did you think I was done? Let's see! '

According to Poit, maybe Suarez is beyond his peak, but gives something that is extra.

"He proves that sometimes a football team needs something different," says Poit, "he also shows that sometimes players need a different attitude to look different, something to respond to. He was in decline, but all of Barcelona was in decline. He needed a challenge, and sometimes it's hard to recover in the same. "It can happen if a new coach comes in, or if you sign a player in your position who competes in front of you, but it's hard. But there is no doubt that Suarez has moved on to work with another coach, with a special character, who requires other things from him,
