Mouth of the Mersey: Suarez "saw red" when he launched attack on Ivanovic
Luis Suarez has admitted he “completely lost it” when he sank his teeth into Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
Speaking on national television in his home country of Uruguay, striker Suarez confessed he was out of his mind when he carried out the savage attack - and has no explanation for his actions.
The Reds' forward apologised once more to Ivanovic and exonerated him of all blame, and explained he saw a red mist because he had given away a penalty in the game which gave Chelsea what seemed like a crucial lead.
Suarez said: “The incident with Ivanovic - I know I made a mistake, it was me, my fault, and he did not do anything to me.
“I was angry because I had given away a penalty for hand ball. I was the cause of the penalty against my team - I saw red and completely lost it. I can’t really explain it and I am so sorry.”
His admission of both guilt and remorse though, hasn’t stopped him plotting a move to escape the criticism he received in the aftermath of the attack.
And there was still a sense of hurt mixed with his apology, when he swiftly added: “But still people can be very cruel, and the reaction was amazing.”
Suarez also reiterated his desire to play for Real Madrid, when he openly wondered about the chance to form a lethal partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
“Of course I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo - he is a great player. You never know, but it is complicated,” Suarez said.
“At the moment he is in Madrid and I am in Liverpool and I do not know what is going to happen.”
When asked by the interviewer which partnership would score more goals, Messi and Neymar at Barcelona or him and Ronaldo at Madrid, he said with a smile:
“ Ha ha ha, I do not know - that is complicated! Barcelona have won so many trophies and Neymar will need to adapt because all eyes are going to be on him.
“And about the second pair, he is in Real Madrid and I am in Liverpool. I do not know yet what is going to happen.”
Suarez wrapped up the interview by admitting his greatest motivation is his wife Sofia and daughter Delfina.
He also revealed he is to be a father again, with Sofia due to give birth to “a boy in a few months’ time.”
