The Uruguayan striker hinted that he will no longer play with the Uruguayan team

He was also visibly upset by the arbitration and the treatment received by FIFA

The Uruguayan Luis Suárez hinted that he will no longer play with the Uruguayan team after the elimination in the World Cup in Qatar: “Now it’s time to encourage the teammates for everything that follows“he said through tears.

I felt sadness, disappointment, I was lucky to play my fourth World Cup. But for my four-year-old son to see his father say goodbye to him with this image of sadness, it’s hard for a father. It’s difficult, we have to face the situation and encourage our teammates for everything that follows,” the 35-year-old striker told the media just after Uruguay’s victory against Ghana (2-0), which was not enough to advance to round of 16

Suárez was very critical of the refereeing and the treatment he received from FIFA, which prevented his children from accessing the locker room. “I wanted to give a hug to my children and my wife and people from FIFA come saying they can’t bring my children down. The other day a player from France was with his children on the substitute bench. I asked why it’s always against Uruguay“, said the soccer player. “It seems that Uruguay has to have another power at the media level to allow my children to pass. But it’s FIFA,” he complained.

Suárez claimed two penalties, one from Edinson Cavani and the other from Darwin Núñez. “It’s a penalty for Edi, it cuts off his career, he puts his body in front. After Darwin’s, it’s also very clear. They are not excuses, but incredible penalties are taken in the World Cup. There is the committee of referees, they have to explain themselves better,” he said.

The former Barcelona and Atlético Madrid player expressed his “sadness and disappointment” at the elimination. “Today is a day to reflect that we gave our best in this match. We had to win and we did, but we depended on another result. We got to this point by ourselves, I feel sadness and disappointment, that’s what I feel today,” he said.
