Uruguay national team captain Diego Lugano has revealed that he’s outraged by FIFA’s punishment for countryman Luis Suarez after his latest biting incident involving Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.
The ban issued to the Liverpool striker will see him miss out on the Celeste’s next nine international matches plus an additional four months of play in all other aspects of football and Lugano believes his team-mate has been treated unfairly, though he’s confident that he’ll be able to bounce back from this mess like he has before.
Lugano spoke through his official Facebook page about Suarez’s ban and voiced his support for the 27-year-old, while also insisting that Uruguay will continue their fight in World Cup with their heads held high.
“Indignation, impotence, I think that is what we all feel. We would all like a more just world, but this world simply does not exist,” said the 33-year-old.
“Those who decide will decide, while those that are strong will be strong. They don’t judge us all by the same rules.
“A hug to Luis, who will rise again as he always has done, and especially to his family, as families always suffer the most in these times. Keep feeling proud of him, he deserves it.
“We will not stop at all. We’ll keep going with humility, union, commitment, in recognition of our errors and with our heads always held high.”
