In the 2013-14 season, Liverpool's striker Suarez scored 31 goals and won the Premier League Golden Boot, which shocked European football for a time.
His strike partner, nicknamed "SAS" and another member of the duo, Sturridge, also became a hit, scoring 21 goals to win the Premier League Silver Boot.
At the end of the season, Suarez landed in Barcelona in La Liga for a bigger goal, and Sturridge, who lost his super partner, was no longer magical, injured and lost his shooting boots.
Nine years later, when Sturridge was once again talked about by fans, he had long since left the mainstream European leagues.
What has happened to Sturridge's career over the years?
Behind the ups and downs, did he ever regret it?
Everything in the story starts from his Manchester City years.
In 2003, like many dream-chasing teenagers, Sturridge was professionally trained in the Manchester City Academy, where he was fast, dared to break through with the ball, and had a wealth of shooting skills, and was hailed by many scouts as England's tomorrow international.
At that time, English football advocated power, many tough guy players gained more resources, and Sturridge was characterized by a new benchmark in the development of modern football, he could take LinkedIn Tony to win the World Cup, which was what everyone expected of him.
In the First Team of Manchester City, Sturridge went from substitute to debut to Premier League debut, and the young man who rose to fame soared.
At the age of 19, Sturridge won the Junior FA Cup Golden Boot, and he attracted the favor of Chelsea with his crazy performance, and with a paper contract, he became a Blue Bridge talent.
Although there were not many opportunities to debut in the early days, he gained confidence in the atmosphere of the top clubs with big names, and he became the golden substitute for Drogba.
With the rise of Chelsea, God seems to have opened a lucky passage for him, and the young Sturridge has won major awards and is a hot generation of rising stars in England.
The Competition in chelsea's forward line is fierce, and Sturridge, who is eager to have the main position, has never been able to find a breakthrough, he needs to play, he needs to grow, he wants to become the next "Warcraft".
But after all, there is still a big gap between Sturridge and the top stars in terms of fame and ability, and Chelsea has no patience to wait for him to grow slowly.
After a difficult loan and substitute, Sturridge once again ushered in a turnaround, and the Reds Liverpool extended an olive branch to him.
Standing next to God, you are close to being God.
After coming to Liverpool, the duo of Sturridge and "Sushin" broke out into an amazing fighting force, they became two gods in the Premier League, and the healthy Sturridge was unstoppable.
That year, with the silver boots on his body, Sturridge was red all over Britain, and everywhere he went, people rushed to ask him for autographs.
There have been lows, there have been doubts, there have been abandonments, and they have been chased, and Sturridge has been selected for Hodgson's England team as he wishes, becoming a popular international.
Honor, money, fame and fame surged in a flash, and his football career gradually reached its peak.
Unfortunately, the good times are not long, not everyone's peak is as long as C Luo, and fleeting abounds. Sturridge was no exception, with injuries combined with poor self-discipline, and the demanding Klopp eventually gave up on him.
From the analysis of the tactical board, at this time, Liverpool's center is Firmino, who has a good goal and ability to do the ball, coupled with the tacit cooperation with Mane and Coutinho, are the first choice of the manager.
Not to mention that Sturridge also has the "Glass Man" attribute, which is not surprising to be embarrassingly useful in Liverpool's grand blueprint.
Sturridge, who was abandoned by Liverpool in 2019, joined Trabzon Sports and went to Turkey to pan for gold, which also laid the groundwork for his eventual disappearance.
The most hated thing in the football world is that players participate in activities such as match-fixing and illegal gambling.
FIFA has a series of strict penalties for this, sanctioning whoever violates it, but Sturridge boldly crossed the red line.
While playing in Turkey, Sturridge was found to have been involved in illegal gambling. The FA was ruthless and banned it with a ban, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the shrewd Trabzon Sport quickly terminated its contract.
The proud son of heaven suddenly became no ball to kick, which made people sigh.
For a full year and a half, Sturridge could only brush his presence on the field, no club in European football was willing to accept him, and the ups and downs of football fell to the bottom.
Faced with the temptation of money, he lost his way, he failed to live up to the love of many fans, I wonder if today Sturridge will be upset by his greedy desires?
But life goes on, after Sturridge hit a wall everywhere in European football, he finally found his next home, went to Australia, and joined the Australian Super League Perth Glory.
Committing to the lower leagues, playing healthy football, earning a little bit, Sturridge no longer has the capital to stand at the top of the football world.
Originally thought that Sturridge would spend his career like this, who ever thought that there would be strange news to make him make headlines.
According to reports, Sturridge loves dogs, but accidentally his dog was stolen, which made him impatient, and then he announced a reward of $30,000, hoping that fans would help him find a dog.
Under the heavy reward, there will be a reward, and it was not long before the fans helped him find the dog, which made Sturridge ecstatic for a while, and personally sent a thank-you letter on social media.
Dude, thank you, did you say that the bounty was in place?
After waiting for a few months, Sturridge did not fulfill his promise, and then angrily went to the dog people to file a complaint to take him to court.
Once a big-name player, thirty thousand pieces can not afford to give, whether it is shy or faithless, the condemnation of public opinion is like a torrent, instantly burying Sturridge.
God on the pitch, what is in life? Sturridge also had a hemp on his head.
When the opening whistle of the Champions League rings, when manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea players take turns to play in glory, who can remember that there was once a player named Sturridge?
The bucket turns to the stars, the past is still faint, and the years are all in laughter.
Come on! Sturridge, we met in the AFC Champions League.
