Suso starring for AC Milan: Ex-Liverpool player thriving in Italy | Football News | Sky Sports
Former Liverpool man Suso is enjoying a fine run of form at AC Milan
Former Liverpool youngster Suso is finally beginning to fulfil his potential in Italy with AC Milan. Adam Bate checks in on the Spaniard's progress ahead of Friday's Italian Super Cup between Milan and Juventus in Qatar, live on Sky Sports 4 HD...
In the end, Milan did not win last month's Derby della Madonnina. Inter escaped with a 2-2 draw. As a result, Suso did not feel obliged to follow through on his pre-match promise to walk home if he scored two goals. Even so, he had produced the performance of a winner.The first goal showcased his close control, barely breaking stride as he collected the ball and promptly dispatched it into the far corner with his left foot. The second highlighted the variation in his game as he went outside his man and slotted home with his right instead.

These are the sort of moments the young Spaniard has long looked capable of delivering. Indeed, the only surprise is that there have not been more of them. Now 23, it feels as though Suso's big breakthrough has been coming for some time.Part of Spain's Under-19 European Championship winning squad in 2012, his talent was identified early on. His old Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was an admirer, giving him his Premier League debut at the age of 18 against Manchester United.

Suso subsequently had a year on loan in La Liga with Almeria and spent the second part of last season with Genoa. In fact, his San Siro double was not even the first time that the player has scored twice in a Serie A derby - doing so for Gian Piero Gasperini's Genoa against Sampdoria in May.But there's a growing feeling this current run of form could be the precursor to a more sustained spike in performance. The gifted playmaker has earned the trust of his coach and goes into Friday's Italian Super Cup as arguably Milan's best hope of beating favourites Juventus.

Successful dribbles
Only two men have more Serie A assists, while he's also among the top 20 goalscorers in Italy. Suso ranks fourth overall for successful dribbles so far this season too. This is a player who is proving both exciting to watch and effective with it.The plaudits are arriving. Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has spoken of Suso's "great class" and identified similarities with club legend Roberto Donadoni. Meanwhile, Gazzetta dello Sport recently compared him to Arjen Robben. It seems the penny has dropped.

It could so easily have gone the other way. This time last year, Suso's agent was agitating for a route out of Milan with the player rooted to the bench. First Pippo Inzaghi and then his successor as Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic were unprepared to offer him regular football.But the appointment of Vincenzo Montella, the man whose Sampdoria side had been on the receiving end of Suso's goals for Genoa, has proved significant. And Montella believes there is more to come from a man who has only given a glimpse of his gifts so far. "He has enormous potential, but needs to grow in his consistency and also self-confidence," said Montella recently. "He is a little shy and ought to take more risks in the final third. He has to be more incisive, because he has the quality to do that."Those words echo the view of Rodgers at Liverpool back in 2012. He saw someone who "still has a lot to learn" but "has got a really good appetite for the game" as well. Tellingly, he added: "If his fight matches his talent then we will have a very good player."
Brendan Rodgers was an admirer of Suso during their time at Anfield
It's been a bit of a battle since then, across those three leagues and two loan spells. Indeed, there is still some uncertainty over Suso's best position and not just because Rodgers coined the term "false winger, that seven-and-a-half role" to describe his use of the player.For his part, Suso admits that he has always considered himself a No 10. But it is on the right of Milan's midfield that he is getting games. Delivering for Milan on a more regular basis is the challenge as it is only consistency that has eluded him up until now. But it's Suso's habit of delivering in big games that he will be hoping to repeat on Friday. He provided the assist for Manuel Locatelli's fine winner the last time the two teams met in October in what was Milan's first victory over Juventus in four years.If he can do something similar again, it will underline his impressive progress. There will, of course, be no offer to walk home if he scores twice in Qatar. But the former Liverpool talent is finally making the sort of strides so many believed was always possible.为啥利物浦要把苏索卖了呢？_利物浦吧_百度贴吧

苏索在AC米兰表现非常抢眼
　　体坛＋特约记者黄润锋报道
　　全场5次过人全部成功，3次攻门打入2球，射门转化率高达66.7%，苏索主宰了米兰德比，但也刺痛了老东家的心。利物浦将苏索低价送给米兰，与其说是重走曼联送走博格巴的老路，不如说是又一次“库蒂尼奥式悲剧”(当初国际米兰低价出售库蒂尼奥)。
　　2009年6月时任利物浦主帅贝尼特斯在前巴萨青训主管塞古拉的举荐下将年仅16岁的苏索从西班牙低级别联赛的卡迪斯队带到梅尔伍德训练基地，在2012年夏季被调上一线队后，苏索屡有出彩却无稳定出场，首发机会接连受到新加盟的库蒂尼奥和路易斯-阿尔韦托的挤压。经历了租借效力阿尔梅利亚的可谓成功的一个赛季后，苏索回到利物浦商谈续约，可惜罗杰斯不愿给出更好的合同条件而又舍不得免费送走苏索，AC米兰才得以在冬窗以130万欧元的白菜价揽下西班牙天才。
　　说到路易斯-阿尔韦托，这位西班牙同胞的命运轨迹几乎与苏索并无二致，也是在加盟利物浦后活在“SAS”的阴影下，租借回西甲联赛后就被低价转卖意甲。从2012夏季苏索上调一线队，日库蒂尼奥从国际米兰加盟，2013年夏天购入路易斯-阿尔韦托，再到2014年夏季马尔科维奇从本菲卡加盟，以及利物浦青训三代“小黑哥”斯特林、埃贝、奥乔，“强者生存”的条令在利物浦甚至其他所有豪门都是至上的。强队都需要通过注入强劲的新鲜血液以保持竞争力，更何况处于挣扎边缘急于出成绩的“落魄豪门”，所以也就无从讨论所谓的“耐心”。
　　上图为苏索、库蒂尼奥、埃贝、斯特林本赛季数据对比。在场均进球、助攻和关键传球上库蒂尼奥最佳，苏索则在过人成功率和场均受侵犯次数上夺魁。
　　话说回来，在边锋/边前腰的位置，利物浦不管是青训出产还是刮“彩票”，都在持续地探索。94年出生的斯特林、95年的埃贝和97年的奥乔，利物浦的青训三代“小黑哥”个个都身怀绝技，都是边路上能突能飚的好手，和略显阴柔的“天价彩票”马尔科维奇不是一个画风。但在本赛季兜售埃贝，奥乔养伤，马内存在非洲杯风险的情况下，留下马尔科维奇是不是对吃紧的边锋位置的一个利好呢？
　　至于边前腰，在SAS时期罗杰斯在斯特林和苏索两者之间更倾向于选择符合战术要求的前者，而后者则更多是作为库蒂尼奥的替补出场，所以曾经球迷们无比期待的“库蒂尼奥+苏索”的边前腰组合从来没有真正成形过。如今两人火爆的状态(库蒂尼奥5球5助攻，苏索4球4助攻)也只能让人更添几分感慨，在拉拉纳缺阵红军三叉戟哑火的日子里，红军球迷或许可以YY一下苏索回归顶替队花的场景。
　　苏索的社交账号中仍有利物浦时期的号码“30”，个人简介中也强调自己是前利物浦球员。
　　在库蒂尼奥近期被卷入转会风波的时候，克洛普的强硬态度或许不只是因为如今红军在英超赛场上大好的积分形势，而更代表着昔日豪门底气的渐渐回归。或许到真正重返巅峰的那一刻，利物浦才重新拥有谈论“耐心”的资格，才不会放走一个个斯特林和苏索。

　　米兰城召唤英雄！已经连续4个赛季的米兰德比没有球员能梅开二度，过去8场比赛的总共11个进球来自于11名不同的球员。苏索打破了这一魔咒，用他自己的话说，“我希望在每一个人面前证明自己配得上这件红黑间条衫”。　　北京时间21日凌晨意甲第13轮迎来米兰德比，但坐拥主场之利的红黑军团被对手反客为主，控球率一度只有可怜的35%，射门次数也以10比18相形见绌。本赛季依靠效率为王的米兰依靠苏索的个人能力打开了局面：第42分钟苏索右路内切晃开角度，左脚精准一记弧线球让国米门将汉达诺维奇只能望球兴叹。第58分钟苏索中场直传策动进攻，接到巴卡的倒三角传球后苏索单挑米兰达，只见他左脚向外侧一扣晃开对方的同时，用自己并不擅长的右脚将球推进球门远角，再次戏耍了国米门神。虽然双方最终2比2握手言和，但苏索凭借本场的神勇表现成为首位代表红黑军团在德比中进球的西班牙球员，曾经专指巴萨神锋苏亚雷斯的绰号“苏神”如今也被米兰球迷用来形容神奇的苏索。　　“国际米兰在中场掌控和机会创造方面都相对有一些优势，但AC米兰看起来更像是有机会取胜的一方，因为苏索”。赛后《米兰体育报》的分析非常到位，本场德比苏索5次突破过人全部成功，3次射门就打进2球，国米后卫群在4次对苏索犯规的局面下仍无法阻挡他。苏索也因此成为四个赛季以来首位在米兰德比梅开二度的球员，上一次独中两元的还是伊布。本赛季苏索已经贡献了4个进球4次助攻，对阵尤文时他助攻洛卡特利打进全场唯一进球，在击败巴勒莫的比赛中苏索完成一个进球一次助攻，本场又梅开二度，俨然已经超越巴卡成为红黑军团进攻端的最强武器。　　苏索能成为米兰的英雄，想必红军利物浦的心里不是滋味。苏索在16岁时就加盟了利物浦青训，但在红军的5年里他仅仅获得14次一线队出场机会。2015年利物浦判定21岁的苏索“没有前途”，随之抛弃了他。当年苏索加盟米兰时几乎是免费投靠，只不过红黑军团为了提前半年将他购入，向利物浦支付了区区130万欧元的赔偿金。刚开始苏索在米兰过得也不如意，上赛季在米哈治下苏索几乎没得到过上场机会，濒临被甩卖的边缘。但本赛季随着蒙特拉的传控式进攻打法在米兰逐渐成熟，苏索迎来了机会并成为球队的绝对主力，牢牢占据右边锋的位置。　　有趣的是，本场赛前苏索在接受采访时曾表示如果能在德比中梅开二度，他就走路回家。赛后主帅蒙特拉边调侃边表扬苏索：“他今天表现很棒，累得够呛了，我们让他坐球队大巴回去吧。”
