Luis Suarez ready to seek help regarding ill temper

Luis Suarez has admitted to his rankling behaviour and has asked for help in order to control his indiscipline. He agreed the biting incident was an ‘antagonist’ act but disagrees that the punishment for that – a ban for next three matches – is insufficient.

Three representatives from the  Independent Regulatory Commission will meet via video conference and take disciplinary action against Suarez.

He has also called on the president of his country’s football federation, Sebastian Bauza, in order to save his soccer career.

Bauza acknowledged the fact that Luis was actually sorry for what he did and said, “He recognises he made a mistake, told me he wants to change and that he is open to receive help.”

Bauza agreed that Luis had made a mistake but also wants to teach him to respect the codes football has.

Bauza also said, “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.”

Liverpool‘s chief law officer met Suarez and his representatives yesterday and are braced for a ban of up to ten matches.

The team can appeal the FA’s decision, but if found trivial, then the punishment can be increased.

Today’s panel will account for the changes, be it the player publicly apologising or his approval to work on his anger with sports psychologist Dr Steve Peters.

Suarez has already been fined around £200,000 by Liverpool, with the money going to the Hillsborough families.

In 2010, the former Ajax star was given a seven match ban from the Dutch FA for biting  PSV’s Otman Bakkal on the shoulder. He was also banned from eight matches for racially abusing Manchester United‘s Patrice Evra last season.
