Captain of the Uruguayan national team, Luis Suarez has revealed that he was not disconcerted on being jeered by the British crowd, during his country’s opening matches of the Olympic Games.
The Liverpool striker was continually booed by the crowd during Uruguay’s fixtures against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 and Senegal. With a tense fixture against Great Britain, scheduled to be played on Wednesday at Cardiff City Stadium, which is set to decide the
outcome of Group A, Suarez unravelled that he was not feeling any pressure whatsoever of playing in front of a jeering GB crowd.
As things stand, Stuart Pearce’s unit and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senegal-c3001 have both got 4 points out of their first two games. Uruguay have 3 out of their 2, while UAE are already out of the equation from making it into the next round after losing both of their opening games.
However, a win for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 against GB on Wednesday will ensure them of a place in the last eight of the competition.
Keeping in view everything that is at stake, and with the striker set to feature in front of a virulent GB crowd, the match promises to be an exciting one.
Nevertheless, Suarez revealed that he knows what to expect from the crowd during the game, but indicated that the only noise that he will pay heed to will be from the Liverpool and Uruguayan fans.
While talking to reporters, he said: “Fans should focus on themselves and their own team. What interests me are only the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Uruguay fans.”
Meanwhile, the Charruas senior team skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Lugano voiced his comments in favour of his troubled compatriot. He was of the opinion that the crowd’s continuous whistling on Suarez grows to show their acknowledgment for the player, and backed him to
take it as a source of motivation.
He said, “They whistle at him because they respect him. That fills one with pride. When they whistle at you like that, perhaps it could even mean that they are scared, like what used to happen to Maradona's http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841.”
The 25-year old has remained a controversial figure in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 in October. Consequently, he was slapped with an eight-match ban by the FA. He has also been subjected to jibes and catcalls
from the spectators during the Premier League games.
