Roberto Mancini: David Luis still deserves PFA’s honour
ROBERTO MANCINI has come to the defence of under-fire Luis Suarez by saying that the Liverpool striker still deserves to be named Footballer of the Year and asking his critics: “Do you want to kill him?”
I don’t know Suarez as a man. I know him as a player and this year he was one of the best in the Premier League.
Suarez, shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award, is starting a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
But Manchester City boss Mancini (right), when asked to nominate the player he believes deserves the PFA honour, replied: “Suarez. I don’t know Suarez as a man. I know him as a player and this year he was one of the best in the Premier League.
“He did a mistake and said sorry to everyone. He got his punishment. Do you want to kill him?”
