Thegoalmac can reveal that Luis Suarez claims he would have been tempted to retire if he had been in Steven Gerrard's shoes after the Liverpool captain's costly slip set Chelsea on the road to victory in last season's crucial Premier League clash at Anfield.
For me, players make mistakes everyday in football, and it shouldn't be the reason anyone should retire. If that is the case, then I think Pique should have retired for a long time now o, Lol.
Continue for what Suarez said ad tell us what you think.
Gerrard lost his footing on the stroke of half-time and Demba Ba raced
away to give the depleted visitors a lead they never relinquished,
with Manchester City going on to claim the trophy.
“If I had been in Stevie’s shoes, I don’t know if I would have been able
to carry on playing," the Uruguayan writes in his new autobiography
serialised in the Guardian.
“Emotionally, it must have been very, very hard.
“In the previous weeks, so much had been said about him, the
expectation had built so much, the talk had been about him leading
Liverpool, his club, to a first title in over 20 years, on the 25th
anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which his cousin had died,
and then that happens.
"The captain, the former youth-teamer,
the one-club man, a Scouser born and bred, and he was the unlucky one to
make a crucial mistake.
“He still hadn’t won the league title.
Stevie had started to believe, we all had. And now it had been
virtually taken away from him and like that, with him slipping against
Chelsea.
"I’m convinced that if Chelsea had not scored like
that, they would not have scored at all. And once you are a goal down
against them, it’s virtually impossible.”
