The boss at Anfield, Brendan Rodgers has called upon Luis Suarez to put his acerbic racism row with Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 behind him and move on.
The Uruguayan International received an eight match suspension from the Football Association in December, for his alleged racial slur against the Red Devils player in October.
The relationship between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and United then hit a new low, as the striker apparently refused to shake hands with Evra during a pre-match handshake ceremony in March.
Just as it seemed that the entire incident had finally being put to rest, Suarez recently reopened the bitter chapter, by claiming that the punishment meted out at him by FA was unjustified and accused United of being behind it.
However, the Ulsterman insisted that it was about time that Suarez put the whole racism incident behind him, and called upon the striker to set his focus solely on football ahead of their new campaign.
The Northern Irishman told the reporters in an interview, “Luis probably still feels a little bit of injustice about last season, but for me the message is that we have to move on. What's happened has happened and let's let it go now, however hard it is.
We want to be winning games and doing our best for the football club.”
Suarez led his country during the ongoing Olympic football competition in Great Britain. Throughout their campaign, the striker was repeatedly jeered and abused by the local fans.
Nevertheless, Rodgers believed that the star players tend to get a hard time from the crowds if they are engulfed in any kind of controversy, and urged the forward not to get affected by the spectators’ behaviour.
He then went on to express his delight upon Suarez’s availability for his team’s next game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Gomel-c39117 on Thursday, and felt that it will give the entire unit a huge lift.
“It will be fantastic to have Luis coming back, and he is already fighting fit. He will have a couple of days off and join up with us after the weekend…I'm really looking forward to working with him.”
