Poyet backs Suarez on racism charge

Poyet backs Suarez on racism charge

19 November 2011 - 06:45

Brighton manager Gus Poyet has defended fellow countryman and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, after the Uruguayan forward had been charged with racist comments directed to Man Utd striker Patrice Evra.

  • Chelsea expected to sell striker after loan deal
  • Arsenal defender misses training ahead of Man Utd game

  • The FA decided to charge Suarez last week on the grounds that there is now some evidence for Evra's claim.



    But Brighton boss Gus Poyet seems to be behind Suarez: "Luis is not a racist. We use different words and it is a different situation.



    "You cannot accuse people without a proper investigation, especially when it's a foreigner who is coming from a different place where we treat people of colour in a different way.



    "So it was very easy to accuse someone. Luis Suarez is 100percent not a racist.



    "Me, I'm not racist. I've lived with people of different colours in different countries and I adapted to every single situation. Suarez needs to adapt to England, and England needs to adapt to the players that come here."
