BITE-SHAME Luis Suarez has finally admitted he needs help to curb his anger.
But the controversial Liverpool star insists he does NOT deserve a
lengthy ban for sinking his teeth into Chelsea star Branislav Ivanovic.
Suarez yesterday accepted a charge of violent conduct — but denied the FA’s claim that a standard three-match suspension is “clearly insufficient”.
A three-man Independent Regulatory Commission meet today — via video conference — to decide his punishment.
But the Uruguay striker has called on the president of his country’s football federation Sebastian Bauza to save his career.
Bauza revealed: “Luis showed me that he’s sorry for what he did.
“He recognises he made a mistake, told me he wants to change and that he is open to receive help.
“There’s no doubt Luis made a mistake. But we should help him learn to respect the codes that football has.
“And I firmly believe punishments are not enough. The whole of football has to help him as he brings a lot to sport, being one of the best players in the world.
“The only thing punishments do is deprive us from seeing him on the pitch.”
