Uruguay forward Luis Suárez has expressed his belief that Inter Miami has what it takes to secure their first MLS Cup victory this year. Joining the club in December as a free agent, Suárez made his MLS debut in a recent 2-0 league win against Real Salt Lake. After the game, Suárez emphasized his ambitions, stating, “There is no better ambition and desire than to come to a team that won its first title last year [the Leagues Cup] and try to win the MLS, a title that the club has never achieved.”
Despite his confidence in the team’s abilities, Suárez is well aware of the challenges that lie ahead. Inter Miami finished 14th in the Eastern Conference standings last season and failed to make it to the playoffs. With his experience of scoring 29 goals in 54 games for Brazilian club Gremio last year, Suárez understands the level of competition in the MLS. He acknowledged, “All the teams are going to want to win. They are going to come to compete because we are one of those that can fight for the title.”
Suárez also expressed his happiness at reuniting with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba at Inter Miami. Describing their relationship as more than just teammates, Suárez emphasized their friendship both on and off the field. He added, “We are very good friends on and off the field. We enjoy life and we want to help Inter Miami win.”
Luis Suárez’s confidence in Inter Miami’s potential to win the MLS Cup this year showcases his strong ambitions and determination. Despite the challenges the team has faced in the past, Suárez’s experience and positive attitude, combined with the support of his former teammates, will undoubtedly play a crucial role in Inter Miami’s quest for success in the upcoming MLS season.
