Maybe it's because, as you keep reminding us, it's only football and it doesnt really matter.
That doesn't actually work. But anyway, no, it isn't that at all.
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
An aspect of Suarez's play which I haven't seen highlighted is the way he presses. He is tenacious and chases EVERYTHING. But whereas Kuyt just charges straight for the ball, Suarez will change direction at the last second and try and predict what the player is going to do. It's incredibly effective, and he wins a lot of possession in extremely dangerous areas.
We all know about his dribbling, creativity and flair, but his pressing technique is as good as anyone I've seen. Tevez is pretty similar, but I'd say Suarez is better.
