The 2014 Brazil World Cup was marked by great moments that impacted soccer fans. Goals and humiliating goals like Germany to the local 7-1 were part of this great World Cup.
However, there was another event that marked the tournament. On the last date of the group stage, Uruguay faced Italy to close their way to the round of 16. In the second half, Luis Suárez went literally crazy and bit the shoulder of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.
For this action, Suárez was expelled from the tournament and was sanctioned with 9 games and 4 months without playing. On this fact, the former captain of the Celeste, Diego Lugano, came to the defense of his partner.
Suárez was sanctioned with four months without playing for the bite
“They looked for him the whole game, I almost went to hell in the locker room with two or three Italians, with Thiago Motta who was a friend and played with me in Paris. I got hot because they were chasing Luis the whole game. From the bank they also provoked him“he said in an interview with Infobae.
“They were 10 minutes away, we had to win, with the tie they classified and Luis what he did was take Chiellini out of the game. Coincidence or not, in the next corner, Chiellini lost the Godín mark, goal and we classified. He won the psychological goal to Chiellini“he added.
On the sanction, Lugano regretted the long time the striker was without playing: “Luis served the longest sentence in football history of all time. The best two years of his career without being able to play in the Uruguayan team. “
“It was not if there were nine official matches, the Copa América and the Qualifying rounds. He spent four months without being able to enter a locker room to practice, anywhere in the world.“, Hill.
