Fifa suspended the Uruguay international for nine international matches and handed him a 4-month ban from competitive football and in a recent interview with Span’s Radio Catalunya, he revealed the pain he went through after he lied to his daughter.
‘When my daughter asked me why I was not playing, it hurt me very much. I had to face it. At first I said it was because of the knee. But people told me to be sincere to her because she is becoming aware of everything.’
The former Liverpool player said he later told his daughter the truth before he moved to La Liga giants, Barcelona.
‘I think it was during the match between Barcelona and Rayo [Vallecano] earlier in the season. ‘She asked me why I was not playing and at the end I said: ‘Dad had a red card because he did a mistake, because dad is human and he is not perfect.’ She has since not asked anymore. I explained everything [to her] and she understood it.’
