Liverpool striker, Luis Suarez, is not too concerned about all the talk related to him being a diver, claiming that he was only focused on playing good football.
The Uruguayan International, who has developed a reputation of simulating dives in order to win over penalties, was censured by the Stoke City boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-c35440 Pulis, following the weekend.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 hit-man deliberately went to the ground inside the 18-yard box, even though he caught minimum contact from the Potters defender.
His stunt resulted in Pulis demanding from the FA to take punitive action against him, in order to wipe out the menace of diving from the game.
The boss at Anfield, Brendan Rodgers, though, spoke out in favour of his player, claiming that he was continuously being victimized by the match officials due to his ill fame.
Nonetheless, Suarez revealed that he was unfazed over all the criticism that has been meted out at him recently.
Instead of making suggestions of what actions need to be taken against different players, Suarez said that everyone should only worry about and focus on what was going on in their own teams.
“Everyone should focus on their own team. Those who want to talk can do so, I am not worried about what they say,” he told the reporters.
“They can keep talking and in the meantime I will keep on playing football and taking care of my team and what I do. Nothing else matters.”
The 25-year old has had a troubled stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 since his move from Ajax in January last year.
He received an eight-match embargo for his alleged racial slur against Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231, and has also been involved in ugly spats with players from different teams.
Hence, Suarez is one of the most controversial figures in the league, and has also remained at the receiving end of some hostile treatment from the fans from across England.
However, the forward said that he was fortunate to have the backing of his manager, and was not too worried about all the jeers and criticism that he has been made to bear.
“The support of the coach is very important to me and that's what I really care about,” he added.
