Uruguay’s top striker, Luis Suarez has finally spoken on his alleged biting of Giorgio
Chiellini in the match
between Italy and Uruguay at the ongoing 2014 FIFA
World Cup in Brazil.
The Liverpool striker was caught on camera biting the
Italy defender during the match the South Americans won 1-0 courtesy of a solitary goal scored by Diego
Godin.
While commenting on the incident in an interview conducted by local reporters
after his country’s win which took them through to the
knockout rounds, Suares played down the latest incident as ‘just something that happens on the pitch’.
The player who plays in the English Premier League, and who has twice been banned
for biting an opponent, said:
“These situations arise on the pitch, I’ve collided with his shoulder. It drove me a little crazy too, but these things happen on the pitch.
There’s no need to make a story out of it.”
Football governing body, FIFA has confirmed disciplinary proceedings have been opened against
the Uruguayan forward, who could be banned for up
to two year over the
incident.
