The step of Luis Suárez by the Premier League was full of goals, but also left space for the controversies. One of the most important was the one who lived with Patrice Evra, the one who accused him of racist in his moment and caused the sanction of the Uruguayan by eight parties more an economic fine that gave a lot of what speak in the English competition.

The true is that in October of 2011, when Luis Suárez was a member of the rows of the Liverpool, was in a clash against the Manchester United, Evra accused to 'Struggle' to have him done a racist comment. The English Federation began a deep investigation, of which the charrúa finish being culprit and cost him eight parties without being able to play more a fine of 40.000 pounds. Something of what, up to now, the French has not forgotten .

In the party of the second turn, of this same season, Evra and Suárez went back to cross but this time did not direct the word. 'The Gunman' did not want to greet to the French and was something that him recriminó, but time afterwards did the peaces through the social networks, but now the ex of the Manchester United has gone back to bring the subject to collation, with a 'recado' to the footballer of the Athletic of Madrid.

In an interview offered to the newspaper 'The Times' of England, Patrice Evra was questioned in case Suárez was racist and commented that "I do not know it the sufficient as to call it racist. I know that it used racist words, know that when it arrived the moment to do the peaces did not do it. When, with the Juventus, confront us to the Barcelona in the final of the Champions in 2015, he gives me the hand and I give him the hand", stood out.

Of the same way, Evra spoke of the racism... With indirect to Suárez? It explained that "if you want to be racist, this is your election. It will do you happier? In place to blame to the racist, want to understand of where come. Anybody is born racist. It treats of education. Perhaps they were traumatizados. We would have to speak with them", it said.

The racism, very present in the football

In spite of the one thousand campaigns of the FIFA, UEFA and different confederations to brake the racism inside the world of the football, is something that continues sucediendo and all the months there are news on an insult, chant or gesture against of the players by his colour of skin or race, something of what has complained Patrice Evra.

The ex footballer and defender explained to 'The Times' that "each week of football have more incidents, maybe because when you throw them the fault go back more hiperactivos. If I forbid you because you are racist, never will change, but somebody has to try understand why are racist".
