"It's strange but I prefer to keep quiet." Luis Suarez reacts to Ballon d'Or snub

Uruguay forward, Luis Suarez has expressed his shock at being excluded from the 2014 Ballon d’Or nominees list.
And really the reason isn’t far-fetched, his 4-month ban for the infamous World Cup bite is the chief, if not the only reason why his name didn’t make FIFA’s 23-men shortlist.
Here’s his reaction to the news. “Everyone brings it to attention. As my Barca team-mate Gerard Pique said, they voted me as the best player in the most difficult league in the world, or one of the most difficult. I was also the highest goalscorer of all of the European leagues. It’s strange that I’m not on the list, but I prefer to keep quiet before saying things because every time that I speak there could be a problem.”

Photo of the day: Suarez was here

You people should leave Suarez alone biko! So this female Liverpool fan wore this “Suarez was here” t-shirt to a Liverpool pre-season match in the United States. Incase you don’t get the drift, the t-shirt made light of the Uruguayan’s last biting incident which happened at the 2014 World Cup. Come to think of it, fashion brands can rake in a good amount of money from this. The highest no of buyers might be Liverpool fans. You never can tell!

‘I would have been disappointed to see Luis Suarez go to Arsenal’- Steven Gerrard.

Steven Gerrard just made more enemies in Arsenal fans. The Liverpool captain reportedly told embattled Uruguayan striker, Luis Suarez that he was pleased with his decision to join Barcelona adding that an Arsenal move wouldn’t have been too good.

“His dream from the first day he came was to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Last summer when he was out in the cold and training on his own that’s the conversation I had with him. I said: ‘Don’t go to Arsenal. I would have been really sad and disappointed to see Luis go to Arsenal. With all due respect to them, I said to him that he was too good for Arsenal. I said if you score 30 goals for us and win the PFA player of the year, the press player of the year – I knew he was going to win them – I told him Real or Barcelona will come for you.”

He continued, “I’m disappointed to see him leave now but I am happy for him that’s he has got what he wants and deserves. Since day one he has been phenomenal in training every day and in the games. I think he got the wrong advice last year from people around him, from people saying he needed to play in the Champions League and it did not matter who it was for.

“I have experience of the Spanish clubs myself and I know if you play well they will come back and come back. I knew they’d be back for him as well. I just thought for his own sake, to get respect off the Liverpool fans, he had to give us at least one year. A lot of people might still think he should have given us one more, but my big dream was to play for Liverpool, and the foreign players’ big dream is to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona, that’s a fact.” He concluded.
