KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Suarez: "I was treated worse than a hooligan"

Luis Suarez says that he was treated “worse than a hooligan” after his bite on Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup.

Uruguay striker Suarez bit the Juventus defender in the group stages of the 2014 tournament, with the then-Liverpool forward subsequently banned for the next four months by FIFA.

Suarez, who moved to Barcelona that same summer, was prevented from even training during his four-month exile, and was also banned for nine Uruguay matches.

The 29-year-old has now served his international suspension, and is available to face Brazil and Peru in the upcoming qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup.

Discussing his punishment for the Chiellini bite, Suarez told El Observador: “It’s been such a long time so I’m obviously very keen, but I’m also relieved that it’s finally all over.

“The worst is behind me and now it’s time to enjoy playing for Uruguay again, which is what I’ve spent so long waiting for.

“I was treated worse than a hooligan, because banning someone from a football match, a training session, is just incomprehensible.

“Four months without being able to play a competitive game and a two-year international ban is too much. It just doesn’t make sense. It’s almost worse than if I’d failed a doping test.”

The feller is dirt, absolute scum bag, he has bitten a fellow footballer and all the player did was mark him out the game, wouldn't mind he has done it twice previously. The plank obviously thinks that sort of thing is ok in his uncultured country and he's brought it over to Europe...

Was just reading this again and I absolutely love the guy.
Every interview I've ever seen him in he is humble and seems really nice - bit of a monster on the pitch ( in all respects ) but what a nice guy. Really wish we could have him back

Love Suarez but if you don't want to be treated like a hooligan don't fukking bite players! Simple!

Honestly, what does he expect

His one flaw unfortunately. Like I say I love him but you don't do that shitte.

Would be interesting to hear what posters would say regarding the bite and Suarez behaviour if he wasn't such a good player, would he still be defended so vigourously if he was say...Smicer, Cisse or Kuyt...think not. I bet if El Hadj Diouf was as good a player for us as Suarez he would be backed too, just so laughable the inconsistency...

Loads o' man luurve for him.

If you read (if you can that is) no one is defending what he did.

i disagree completely, nobody would of got away with the stuff he did if he wasn't such a good player for us, it's a clear one law for one, one for another, the bottom line is that allowances were made for him simply because he was such an important asset to the business.
Lesser player would of been bounced out of the Club and I would go as far as to say the Club would of looked to of sued him because he probably had no racially abusing or racially assaulting and physical biting as part of his contract of not doing that stuff which he signed...
