Uruguay President Jose Mujica has slammed
FIFA for their treatment on Luis Suarez, claiming
the striker needs help not a ban, FootballEspana
reports
The Barcelona forward is banned from football
for four months after biting Giorgio Chiellini
during the Celestes’ match with Italy at the
World Cup.
But the nation’s leader believes that the
goalscorer is in need of a psychiatrist.
“He comes from a poor background and his main
intelligence is in his feet,” Mujica told Folha de
Sao Paulo.
“It’s better to take him to hospital and once
there, see a psychiatrist.
“I’m not disputing the sporting sanctions, they’re
fine. What I’m disputing is that there are certain
things that shouldn’t have anything to do with
the ban.
“The fact he can’t go on any football pitch, that
he can’t be with any of his team-mates in the
national team, he can’t go to a football stadium
or even support a charity event linked with
football.
“It’s crazy! Not even a government can prohibit
someone from entering a football stadium,
without the signature of a judge.
“Then FIFA come along and say he can’t do that
for four months… without even a legal tribunal.
“I believe Fifa have a mentality of old people.
“They want to appear as though they’re learning
from their mistakes, but never do.
“The only thing they generate is hatred and
resentment. What this lad needs is someone to
give him a helping hand.
“Now we’ll get to see (Suarez) playing alongside
Neymar and (Lionel) Messi. We don’t know
when that will be, though.”
Meanwhile, Juventus Director Pavel Nedved has
sided with Suarez in the Chiellini biting row.
“I was very angry with Chiellini for his reaction,
as he behaved like a child showing the bite mark
to the referee,” he told Denik Sport.
