Has Luis Suarez not given up his habit yet. An incredible scene was captured.
Uruguay finished the tournament by losing 0-1 to Colombia in the Copa America 2024 semifinals at Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina at 9 a.m. on the 11th (Korea time).
Suarez approached a Colombian player after the game. At first, Colombia reached out to share a hug with Suarez, mistaking him for coming to say hello. Suarez, however, was not approached favorably. Suarez brought his face to his opponent's ears and neck.
Then the Colombian immediately pulled back and took a defensive position. It is not confirmed from the camera angle what Suarez does after putting his face on the neck of his opponent, but some fans speculate that Suarez acted to bite the Colombian.

It is evidence of speculation that the Colombian player only took a defensive posture by pulling back as soon as Suarez put his face in. After the Colombian pulled back, Suarez openly acted nervously, and a war of nerves broke out between the two players. Officials from the Colombian team, who were around, ran and separated the two players. Suarez appeared very angry, pointing a finger at the Colombian until the end.
In the end, Suarez's actions began to intensify the anger of the players of both teams, and since then, the war of nerves has intensified, causing a mess in the center of the stadium. Conflicts also broke out between team officials and Uruguay players trying to protect Colombia's squad. It was calmed down again, but it was definitely Suarez who was the cause of this war of nerves.
Whether Suarez really approached the player to bite him has yet to be revealed. However, if you look back on Suarez's career, you can see that he is a player who will try to do something unpredictable enough.

Suarez, who has already cracked the opponent since his Ajax days, bit Branislav Ivanovic in Liverpool. When he went to the World Cup, he bit Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder with his teeth. In recent years, he has never done such unusual things, but it is not strange for Suarez to have an accident at any time.
Meanwhile, the match was even staged as Colombia's cheering squad and Uruguay's players physically clashed as the crowd was excited after the players' war of nerves triggered by Suarez. It was reported that the situation began when Colombian spectators threatened the families of Uruguay's players. However, Uruguay's players also responded physically, so they are unlikely to avoid responsibility.
