Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hailed Luis Suarez for the two-goal display that brought Uruguay a 2-1 win over England -- and spelled the end of the World Cup for Roy Hodgson's side. - Forlan: England feared Suarez presence
- Luis Suarez gloats after Uruguay win Liverpool star Suarez produced two superb finishes to sink Roy Hodgson's side and Mourinho, speaking in his role as Yahoo! Global Football Ambassador, said he believed the controversial striker gets the credit he is due when the best of his game is on display. "I think there are two periods of Luis Suarez," Mourinho explained. "The one period, before I arrived [back in England as Chelsea manager for the second time], he had bad behaviour. He had that situation with [biting Branislav] Ivanovic, and he had the suspension for a long period. "Obviously he was criticised. After that, there is a second period of Suarez, which was last season, and in this season he was voted by the English football press as the player of the season. "I think they all recognise that he is a fantastic player. When his behaviour is OK, people give him the credit that he deserves. "I speak for myself: when he dives and he tries to get penalties out of nothing, I don't like the situation. But when he plays like he did many, many times for Liverpool, and when he plays like he did against England, I have to say... absolutely amazing. "The commitment, the connection with the players, the connection with the supporters -- again I have to say, amazing."
