Former Chelsea star, Joe Cole, has noted that Marc Guiu must have watched Barcelona legend, Luis Suarez, growing up.
He compared the youngster to the Uruguayan after the former helped the Blues secure a 3-1 win against Astana in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.
Chelsea played Astana in the UEFA Conference League at the Ortalyk Stadion on Thursday night.
It was the Blues’ sixth successive win across all competitions with an excellent showing against Astana.
Guiu put the Premier League giants in front in the 14th minute following a brilliant solo run, dribbling past Aleksandr Marochkin from the right wing before side-footing past goalkeeper, Mukhammedzhan Seysen to score his second goal of the season.
Guiu caused Marochkin to score an own goal in the 18th minute, while Renato Veiga made it 3-0 in the 39th minute before Marin Tomasov scored a consolation goal for Astana (45′).
Cole reckons Guiu watched clips of former Liverpool ace, Suarez growing up.
He said according to The Chelsea Chronicle, “He must have watched [Luis] Suarez as a young man in Barcelona. He’s got great movement.
“This is just all about ability and athleticism (for his opening goal). He drives past the centre-half there. It’s a lovely finish. He was a thorn in the side throughout the game for them.
“He really impressed. In and out, direct, dribbling off the back foot, little shimmy and driving inside. That is exquisite from a young man.”
