Diego Costa paved the way for the Atlético de Madrid thrashing or Granada 6 to 1 with the first goal. And it gave Luis Suárez space to shine in his debut with the team, with two goals and one assist. The competition for Colchonero’s forward position should intensify, but the Spanish-Brazilian forward doesn’t care. Celebrate the arrival of the Uruguayan. And use good humor.
“It’s very good. One biting and the other hitting,” he commented, in an interview with the station “Movistar +”.
Diego, of course, was referring to Suárez’s bite of Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup, and to his own history as a hot-tempered player on the pitch. When analyzing the recruitment more seriously, the 19 jersey admitted that he was surprised by the attitude of Barcelona with the Uruguayan.
– We have a player like Luis, who luckily left Barcelona. I don’t know how such a team let it out. But, for us, he’s great, he gives us a lot with his goals and in the dressing room with his warrior spirit, his desire to win and win titles.

Although he welcomes Suárez and sees a good future at Atlético with his new teammate, Diego Costa is not guaranteed in the team. He says that he is at the disposal of the board, in case the club understands that it is best to find a new team for the Hispanic-Brazilian.
– I let the club decide my future. At no time did I want to fight to be a burden here, on the contrary. I made it clear to the club. I was open to listen, if they were going to sell me, if there was the possibility of a loan, if they wanted the termination so that I could be free, I accepted. I spoke with the club, with the man (Simeone), I made it very clear what happened, and if I am here I will fight and I will continue fighting. If the injuries help me, I will be there, but if there is a possibility to go out and be the best, I am available.
At age 31, Diego has a contract with Atlético until the end of this season, in June 2021. In 2019/20 he scored five goals in 30 games. The transfer window in Spain will close on October 5.
