Suárez, between tears and anger with FIFA after Uruguay’s goodbye

“I see a penalty for Edi (Cavani), he cuts off his career, there is another very clear penalty for Darwin (Núñez), incredible penalties and incredible things are being taken and there is the Referees Committee and FIFA that must explain themselves better. FIFA must set things straight.”said the Uruguayan striker at the end of the match.

Suárez also complained that “it seems that everything was against Uruguay”, since when he wanted to go to the audience at the end of the game to greet his wife Sofía Balbi and their children, they did not allow his relatives to go down to the field of play.

“I wanted to go towards the end of the game to greet my children, but people from FIFA come and tell me that my children could not come down, when the other day there was a French player with his children on the field of play. I asked them why always with Uruguay. It seems that Uruguay must have another media power to have more power in FIFA ”, he related.

Suárez cried, just like when he found out about the result of South Korea, when he recounted: “That my four-year-old son has not seen me win a World Cup match and leaves Qatar with that sadness, for a father that is very hard”.

Regarding the match and the task of his team in the group stage, he acknowledged that “I am disappointed, sadly. It makes you angry to answer. And we are self-critical, the first two games we were not up to the task, but now we have reached the limit, we responded by winning and we were left out due to the result of another game”.

Giorgian de ArraescaetaFor his part, the talented midfielder for Flamengo, acknowledged that “in the first games we sinned by not attacking more”, to later lament because “today it was kill or be killed, we had to win or win, we scored two goals, but Portugal lost to Korea ”.

“Today we did everything to be able to qualify and it was paid dearly. We are sad because we left everything in this match, we went looking for it, we scored two goals but there was a result that did not depend on us and it leaves us out,” he added.

Regarding arbitration, he pointed out that “he cannot” speak “hotly” about the referee, we must turn the page, what happened happened and now we have nothing to do. I still couldn’t see the penalty play against Cavani. It seemed criminal, they are limiting situations that one claims, but we are not sure ”.

The player acknowledged that “there is a huge feeling of sadness”, but he called for “turning the page and preparing for what is to come” and agreed with Suárez in his position that “it is difficult for the players. You have to encourage your teammates for everything that follows ”.
