10 Shocking Incidents Luis Suarez Wants You To Forget

5. The Ivanovic Bite

Having put Liverpool through the pain of the racism scandal, Suarez would surely have to reform his image if he was to remain at the club. The history and institution of Liverpool could not allow one player to be bigger than the team, they had to remain true to their values. Beside that, although Suarez was their key man, he was of little use to the club watching from the stands. We never expected him to step out of line again... but then came the second biting incident. It came out of nowhere. Liverpool were playing Chelsea, Suarez was jostling with Branislav Ivanovic in the box, then he suddenly bit him. It was blatantly clear. Ivanovic simply couldn't believe it, with Suarez sneakily trying to feign his own injury. The referee was either distracted by Suarez's subsequent play acting, or he simply bottled it, Suarez stayed on the pitch and scored to finish the game as Liverpool 2 Chelsea 2. The footage though was damning, Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers knew they had to take action on Suarez or risk the club's image being dirtied. They internally fined him and the FA handed down a 10 game ban. Liverpool and Rodgersl then verbally complained about the ban, making Suarez out as a victim of the media. Let's get real here, the footage is for everyone to see, the media didn't bite Ivanovic, Suarez bit Ivanovic. The club ended up again being viewed in a negative light due to one Luis Suarez.
