Marc Guiu Compared to Luis Suarez: Chelsea wonderkid Marc Guiu has been compared to former Liverpool and FC Barcelona attacker Luis Suarez by another ex-Chelsea player, Joe Cole.
The 18-year-old Spanish striker bagged a treble of goals in the 5-1 spanking of Shamrock Rovers on Thirsday and Blues great Joe Cole, on pundit duty for TNT Sport, waxed lyrical about the teenager.
Cole said: “This kid can score goals. He can be a big star for this club. How have Barcelona let him go?
“I liken Marc Guiu to Luis Suarez. I’m not saying he is Suarez now. But he haș that instinct and bravery. I think he can go all the way. I think Barcelona have made a mistake!” Before turning 18, Guiu became the youngest debutant ever to score for Barcelona.
Meanwhile, his next goal is to start in the Premier League according to Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.
“Marc is a bit unhappy as Nicolas (Jackson) and Christopher (Nkunku) are doing well. With Marc the problem is we forget the age. He knows it is not easy for him with Nicolas and Christopher there.
“But he is taking his chances. I’m very excited for the future. It was a good chance for the young players.” Already through to the last 16 having won each of the five they had played, Maresca had the luxury to ring the changes.
