Thegoalmac can reveal that Giorgio Chiellini
revealed he pushed for Luis Suarez to get sent off after being bitten
by the Uruguay striker at World Cup 2014 because he was convinced it
would have turned around Italy 's fortunes.
Lol,looking at this bite picture really makes me laugh,but what was this guy thinking,its completely inexplicable.Continue for what Mr Chiellini said.
Suarez remained on the field as a Diego Godin goal ultimately gave
Uruguay a 1-0 victory in Natal, condemning the Azzurri to a shock
group-stage exit.
The 30-year-old stopper tangled with Suarez before showing the
referee what appeared to be teeth marks on his shoulder and Chiellini
admits he was attempting to convince referee Marco Rodriguez to produce a
red card.
“At that moment I wasn’t thinking of just telling tales on Suarez,
but of reaching the last 16 of the World Cup,” Chiellini told La Gazzetta dello Sport .
“I was certain that if he was sent off, Uruguay would never have got
through to the next round, just as
I always thought with Zinedine Zidane
[who headbutted Italy's Marco Materazzi] on the field perhaps the 2006
World Cup final would’ve gone a different way.”
Suarez is set to make his debut for Barcelona in the Clasico against
Real Madrid next weekend after his four-month ban from all footballing
activities was reduced.
Chiellini went on to laud Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the greatest striker
he’s faced in his career and revealed that, despite some fierce
altercations with the Sweden international, no animosity remains between
the two.
“Ibrahimovic remains the best of them all, as he can change a game by himself,” he added.
“With him we used elbows, threats and after a post-Calciopoli edition
of Juventus-Inter were close to getting into a fight. At the end of the
day, we had a good rapport though.”
