Luis Suarez deserved punishment for biting Chiellini but not stadium ban: Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has voiced his opinion about the Luis Suarez ban as a deserving one and said that he must stop resorting to such appaling acts.

"I think the punishment is deserved because it is an accumulation of the same negative act on the football pitch," Mourinho said speaking in his role as Yahoo's global football ambassador.

"If his punishment comes as a sequence of three similar mistakes in three different situations, it is something that he deserves. It has to stop." 

The Liverpool forward hogged the limelight yet again with his histrionics when the 28-year old pounced on Italian defender Giorgio Cheillini with his teeth and was subsequently inflicted with a ban of 9 international matches and prohibition from any football related activities for 4 months.

However, the 51-year old Chelsea boss was critical of the stadium ban.

"What I really don't like in football is the stadium ban. What's the problem for Suarez to be in the stadium, in the middle of the Uruguay supporters watching the game between his country and Colombia?”

“It's too hard; it's something that I really don't understand.”
