Eng Sub: 'Suarez is performing how he promised before joining' says Simeone

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone isn't surprised by the former striker Luis Suarez is continuing to show since his arrival in the summer from Barcelona. Suarez has scored eight goals in La Liga since moving to Madrid and is one off the top scorer.

"If we value Luis as the footballer we went to look for, he wanted to come and he is giving what he transmitted to us when we spoke on the phone when we were looking to see if he would play for Atletico Madrid," Simeone told his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to Deportivo Alaves on Sunday.
