As much as José Fuentes, president of Nacional de Montevideo, called for caution, alluding to the traditional "it's not done yet", madness has been unleashed in the capital of Uruguay with the probable return of Luis Suárez to the club with which he debuted in the elite in 2005, with only 18 years. Now, at 35, Luisito, back from his tour of Europe (Groningen, Ajax, Liverpool, Barça, At. Madrid), is one yes away from playing in his country again. He would do it, in principle, from now until December, to get in shape to play his last World Cup.
“The truth is what I am saying: I, at this moment, do not have any confirmation from Luis Suárez,” the president of Nacional told the radio station Sport 890, yesterday morning from Buenos Aires, on his return trip from Madrid, where he met with Suárez and would have reached an agreement for the return. “The family is determined to live in Uruguay for these three months; They are moved by the movement that has been put together in recent days,” said the Uruguayan leader, referring to what is happening in Montevideo.
On Thursday night, at the Gran Parque Central stadium, Nacional beat Cerrito on the sixth day of the Intermediate Tournament, but beyond the 5-0, the most newsworthy thing was the party organized by Nacional fans, who showed 20,000 masks with the face of Luis Suárez and 15,000 banners with the message "Suárez A Nacional", in addition to displaying a tifo with number 9 underlined with the message "He does not come, he returns". In Uruguay, almost all the media and fans assume that Luis Suárez will once again wear the white, blue and red colors of Nacional.
"It's like a fairy tale and we have to wrap it up so that it has a happy ending," said manager Gonzalo Lucas. The Uruguayan club agreed "two or three days" -according to Fuentes- for Luis Suárez to give an answer. The term expires today.
