Luis Suarez boo vow (THE SUN)



33

LUIS SUAREZ will ignore the boo boys in tomorrow’s crunch decider with Team GB.

The Liverpool star’s every touch was jeered at Wembley during Uruguay’s 2-0 loss to Senegal on Sunday.
But Suarez, a target after racially abusing Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra last season, hit back at his snipers.
He said: “Fans should focus on themselves and their own team.
“What interests me is the Liverpool fans and the Uruguay fans.”
After the shock against Senegal, Uruguay must beat GB to progress to the quarter-finals.
Stuart Pearce’s side can go through with a draw — but will be targeting a win at the Millennium Stadium to top Group A.
GB star Craig Bellamy has warned his team-mates that Suarez remains the biggest threat.
Unlike Liverpool team-mate Bellamy, Suarez has not set the tournament alight.
But Welsh ace Bellamy said. “The great thing about Luis is that he has such a big heart.
“He is a really terrific player and the one thing I’ve seen over and over again is that he is able to create something out of absolutely nothing.
“You sometimes think he is going down a dead end but then he will show that spark of creativity that change things completely.
“He will come up with a little flick or knock the ball through an opponent’s legs and that’s what makes him so dangerous.
“He is a special talent and I feel fortunate to have trained and played with him.”
Suarez is not worried about upsetting the hosts as he looks to get the Uruguayans going.
Senegal had Abdoulaye Ba sent off but still beat Suarez and Co thanks to Moussa Konate’s brace.
Suarez added: “We depend on ourselves now. When the ball doesn’t want to go in, it doesn’t want to go in.
“We will work to correct our mistakes and be focused against Great Britain in the next match as we depend on ourselves.”
Bellamy produced man-of-the-match displays in Great Britain’s first two matches.
He admits he has loved every minute of the first major international tournament of his career.
Bellamy added: “For me this has been a fantastic experience, something totally different to everything I have done before.
“So would I love to see future generations of players given the same opportunity? Of course I would and I’m sure it would be beneficial to them.
“This has been my best experience as a footballer, I’ve already got so much out of this competition.”
But this could be the last Games a united GB team plays in the tournament.
If they have to go through qualifiers, it is unlikely that the four football associations would be able to agree on participation.
Bellamy admitted: “When it reverts to going through a qualifying process things will change.
“So I think this will the last time we will see a GB team, which is a great shame.”
