"Suarez's ban too harsh, could ruin his livelihood"- Fred (Brazil Forward)

We all feel for Suarez, well, others don’t. They deem the punishment meted out to the Uruguay striker for biting an opponent appropriate. Not because it was the verdict was the best FIFA could come up with but because he’s done it twice and has apparently not learnt from previous punishments. However, Brazil striker Fred thinks Suarez’s punishment was taken too far. Here’s what he told the press

“You can’t deny that Suarez committed a mistake, but as a player and a human being who sometimes takes things to heart, I think the ban is too severe. The majority of people I have spoken to about it think it is fair but it is a punishment that could ruin his livelihood.

I think he has to be punished, but I would really like to see him continue playing in this World Cup in Brazil.”

Biting incident: Luis Suarez fined £66,000, banned for 4months and from entering any stadium

Luis Suárez was doing exceedingly great in the tournament, his top form and excellent performances in Uruguay games were hailed by fans and football lovers across the globe until the ugly incident happened. For biting an opponent (Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini) in World Cup clash, the Liverpool striker has been handed a 4-month ban, fined £66,000 and banned from entering any stadium by FIFA committee.
Claudio Sulser, Chairman, FIFA independent disciplinary committee said: “Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a Fifa World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suárez’s guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated.”
His 9-game suspension for biting is longest EVER in the World Cup. Even if he appeals successfully, he will not be able play in any matches. Luckily, his ban will not affect any possible transfer, so he stands a chance of moving to another club next season, for now, he is on Barcelona’s radar.
Meanwhile that’s the third time he’ll be biting an opponent, I repeat, he should have his front teeth cropped.

"I'd rather receive a bite than a leg breaking challenge" Joey Barton rises in defence of Luis Suarez after latest biting incident

Finally someone from football world feels Suarez’s pain. Queen Park Rangers (QPR) midfielder, Joey Barton has defended Uruguay striker, Luis Suarez in the heat of criticisms from fans and football lovers all over his latest biting incident. You would recall that the Liverpool playmaker sunk his teeth into the back of Giorgio Chiellini when his team clashed with Italy few days back.
The English Footballer’s take is that nobody is perfect and a leg breaking tackle is worse than biting. He added he is a winner and his punishment isn’t the end of the world.

“He’s at it again! Should Suarez face a lengthy ban of 2+ years? I love Suarez. I love his passion for the game. I would have him on my team everyday of the week. I am also aware you can’t defend him here. All things considered I’d rather receive a bite than a leg breaking challenge. Whilst he should be punished, it is not the end of the world. He’s a winner. If that means he occasionally steps over the line between right and wrong, than thats what comes with the territory. Nobody’s perfect.” He wrote on his twitter page.
