Ange Postecoglou plays down player rift after Spurs' tense halftime confrontation

Luis Suarez has been handed a four-month ban by governing body FIFA after biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
But will it change anything?
Taking football away from Suarez looks to be the only way he will learn that his opponents are not consumable goods.
However, it hasn’t worked before. He is unlikely to feel bad about it if he is being welcomed in his homeland like he was after returning there once the ban was handed down.
How can we expect one man to conform to the expected moralities of the outside world when in Uruguay it seems you can do such things and be hailed as a hero?
It is absolutely mind boggling to think that this is what happened.
The footage and evidence is clearly stacked against him, despite the fact the man himself is almost denying it, his captain is covering it up and the Uruguayan media is calling it a ‘witch hunt’.
It is unacceptable behaviour full stop.
The biggest loser from this is Liverpool, his club side in England. They lose a man who scored 31 goals and 12 assists in 33 matches after missing the first six for, you guessed it, biting an opponent in the previous season.
He misses nine domestic league matches, as well as three European Champions League matches and four international fixtures, as well as his World Cup. He also has to pay a fine of 100,000 Swiss Francs to FIFA.
He’s also bitten an opponent when at Ajax in the Dutch league, where he received a lengthy ban.
To be a repeat offender at something that is downright disgusting behaviour, is just ludicrous. He must feel he can get away with it?
To be completely honest I’m at a loss at how to solve this. You could throw all the psychologists in the world at this one, but if it’s in your psyche and people love and adore you and welcome you like they have, would you change your ways?
