Luis Suárez’s controversial ‘squeeze’ in Champions League elicits jokes from Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole

Former Premier League players and now commentators in England have not overlooked the action of the Atlético de Madrid forward

Chelsea managed to take the lead in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16. Last Tuesday, the Blues beat Atlético de Madrid 1-0 thanks to a nice goal from Giroud and are closer to qualifying.

For his part, Luis Suarez, one of the protagonists of the Colchonero team this season, once again provoked his rivals in a somewhat unusual way. During the match, the Uruguayan was caught squeezing the defender Rudiger during a registration.

Suarez squeezed him and angered the defender, who was facing the Uruguayan. The scene drew ironic comments from former players including Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole.

Ferdinand and Cole, who now serve as commentators for BT Sports, They did not ignore the South American’s action and made fun of the attacker’s attitude. “If you advise your son and, instead of biting, he starts squeezing, you’re fine”joked the former midfielder, who remembered the Uruguayan’s bites throughout his career.

Luis Suárez bit rival players as he defended the shirts of Ajax, Liverpool and also the Uruguayan national team, highlighting his 2014 World Cup bite on Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.

Another who played with the situation was Rio Ferdinand, which is the provocation of Suarez with a kind of street ruse.

“It’s so … is the right word cute? The referee will never see anything like that, he looks them in the face, but what’s really important happens somewhere else. It’s like on the street,” added the former defender.

The return game between the two teams will take place on March 17. The draw gives the English ranking for winning the first leg.
