LONDON:
Controversial Liverpool striker Luis Suarez believes he is picked on by the British media.
The Uruguayan said he often made headlines because his name sold newspapers. “I realise that Suarez sells, because the other day a ball hit my hand unintentionally and I didn’t even feel like scoring the goal and I hit (the ball) just to hit it, but then, because I kissed my wrist, the criticism started,” said Suarez. “If Suarez sells then they’re going to say that in the dressing room (for example) Suarez spoke in secret in front of Steven Gerrard. They’ll invent anything. (The media) should dedicate themselves to talking about football and not about each player’s attitude.”
