Luis Suárez does not apologize to Ghana: “When we faced Portugal…”
ILuis Suárez assured, this Thursday, in a press conference, that he has no intention of apologizing to Ghana for the controversial meeting of the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup, in which Uruguay won, in the tie-breaker bonuses.
The game, remember, was tied at one ball, when the forward deflected, over the line and with his hand, a shot that went to the goal and received an expulsion order. However, Asamoah Gyan did not convert the penalty, and the Africans were eliminated shortly afterwards.
12 years later, the two footprints face off again, this time in Qatar, but the striker guarantees he doesn’t have a bad conscience: “I don’t have to apologize, because I touched the ball with my hand and they scored a penalty. , then the Ghana player missed”.
“It’s not my fault. I wasn’t responsible for missing that penalty. That was 12 years ago. It’s not revenge. Maybe these players were kids back then and saw it on television. You can’t misunderstand everything,” he began by saying.
“When we played against Portugal, nobody said that they wanted revenge for the fact that we were eliminated in the other World Cup”, completed the ‘veteran’, in statements reproduced by the Spanish newspaper As🇧🇷
