Barcelona: 3 reasons why Suarez is as important as Messi for the Blaugrana

#3 Mentality

FC Barcelona v Club Atletico de Madrid - La Liga

Barring his star caliber with the ball, Suarez is relentless. Suarez's unending hunger and work ethic have been the key for Barcelona against the toughest opponents, with the Uruguayan proving that class is permanent.

The Uruguayan striker is never devoid of the hunger and desire to put his team in an advantageous position. His indomitable will plays a huge role in driving Barcelona towards more glories in the current season.

One of the underrated aspects of Suarez's game is also his work ethic, which is a by-product of his never say die attitude. The Barcelona number nine obviously is getting slower year after year but he keeps pushing on for more. Suarez is one of the hardest working forwards on the pitch, constantly making intelligent runs and troubling opponent's defense with his touch and finishing in the box.

Over the years, Suarez has played a pivotal role as Barcelona managed to win numerous accolades. While some of the all-time greats faded away after turning 30, Suarez is still pushing for greatness due to his mental strength which results in a huge impact for his team on the pitch.
