Luis Suarez Banned 2 Games For Biting PSV's Bakkal

An announcement on Ajax's official website reads that Ajax have decided to hand Luis Suarez a 2 match ban following his involvement in an incident in the dying minutes of the scoreless draw with rival PSV. Several players were involved in a tussle at the end of the match and Suarez tried to take a bite out of PSV midfielder Otman Bakkal's left shoulder after the Dutch international allegedly stepped on Suarez's foot.

Reina: Top Players Will Leave Liverpool This Summer If Team Doesn't Improve This Season

"We have to finish this season in a better position than we are at the moment [ninth] and make sure we build for the next years and try to be competitive," said Reina.

"If not, it's going to be difficult for them to keep these kind of players."

Champions League qualification is, he says: "Possible; why not? But we have to be sure that we deliver better performances otherwise it's going to be really, really, really difficult."

"We are not probably as strong as Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham can be so that's why we have to make sure we build a better squad," he added.

"At the moment, it's almost impossible to compete for nine months against Chelsea, for example, and that is what I want. The clubs all around England are building proper squads. We have to do the same and we have to be able to compete."

"We are not playing well enough, especially away from home, and we have to make sure we improve this aspect otherwise we will be struggling. It's so difficult to go anywhere and beat teams but if we want to be up there at the end of the season, we have to."

 
"I'm tired of football and don't want to play anymore." - Carlos Tevez

"I don't want to play any more," he said to TyC Sports. "I'm tired of football, but also tired of people who work in football. I don't want to play any more, and I'm talking seriously...I'm going to play football for three or four years in Europe, then I will quit. I would play for Boca again only if my father asks me to do it, but I don't want to play in Argentina again. If you ask me, I would love to have my old life back in my neighborhood of Fuerte Apache as I don't like my way of life today."

"I don't want to suffer any more, I just want to be calm, I want some peace. But at the moment, football feels like a job for me."
