Suarez Didn't Attempt Biting Demichelis- Luis Enrique Defends Suarez
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has accused the English media of launching a campaign against Luis Suarez, after claims that the striker attempted to bite Martin Demichelis in midweek.
Suarez returned to England for the first time since leaving Liverpool in July, scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
Despite his goalscoring exploits, many media outlets in the UK instead focused on images that they claimed appeared to show Suarez biting the hand of Demichelis, after the City centre-back put his hand up to the Uruguayan’s chest.
The Uruguay international, who has been banned three times in his career for biting opponents, said the reports were untrue, putting it down to a media agenda against him – a stance supported by Luis Enrique.
“Unfortunately, it’s something normal in some parts of the world to have these sort of campaigns against somebody,” the coach said.
“Suarez already knows he will always be watched, even he has said many times that he made a mistake.
“We have seen this kind of campaigns against players, president, supporters.”
Barca welcome City to Camp Nou for the second leg of their Champions League tie on Wednesday, March 18.
