'Luis Suarez is a cheat, I hate the way he plays'

Although he has more important things to think about right now, the Uruguayan will certainly not be amused to hear what a former footballer thinks of his appearances on the pitch. 

To be precise, it was one of the World Cup '98 champions who took advantage of Barcelona's Champions League elimination to reveal exactly what he thinks of Luis Suarez.

"I am a fan of Barcelona, but I was glad to see them eliminated on Tuesday because of Luis Suarez. I have no respect for a footballer like him," he said.  

And why this animosity? He explained it very clearly. "He's a cheat and I hate the way he plays. If I had faced him, I would have done everything I could to get him off the pitch. What he did to Ghana at the World Cup, the two times he bit opponents... He's a bad example for young people," he said.
