Remember Luis Suarez’s infamous 4-month ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup? The Barcelona/Uruguay forward in a recent interview with Span’s Radio Catalunya revealed the lies he told his daughter, who asked why he wasn’t playing after he was banned.
“When my daughter asked me why I was not playing, it hurt me very much. I had to face it. At first I said it was because of the knee. But people told me to be sincere to her because she is becoming aware of everything.’
He later braced up to tell her the truth.
‘I think it was during the match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano earlier in the season. She asked me why I was not playing and at the end I said: ‘Dad had a red card because he did a mistake, because dad is human and he is not perfect.’ She has since not asked anymore. I explained everything (to her) and she understood it.’
Brilliant response!!
