Luis Suarez Puts Some of the Bite Blame on 'Irritating' Defenders

Sean SwabyApr 13, 2015

It's been over nine months since Luis Suarez famously bit Giorgio Chiellini in the World Cup, but considering his history with biting people, it will always be a topic of conversation. 

The Uruguayan recently gave an interview to Tom Dutton of the London Evening Standard and put a bit of the blame for his munching antics elsewhere. 

On those who he bit.

He doesn't try to make excuses for biting, but the comments about being "wound up" by the likes of Chiellini and Branislav Ivanovic are sure to raise a few eyebrows: 

"

Some of the blame in the past was mine, some of it must go to the defenders who provoked me. 

Chiellini and Ivanovic, for example, are two that wind you up again, and again, and again. 

They are irritating, but now what happens is that I provoke defenders. 

Before I'd engage in a battle with them, now I walk away.
