Abstract

The article focuses on soccer player Luis Suárez. Suárez's status as the most important player on Uruguay's national team in the 2014 World Cup tournament is examined. A contrast is considered between Suárez's abilities as a player, particularly his 2013-2014 season with the Liverpool team in England's Premier League, in which he tied a league record with 31 goals scored and won its Player of the Year Award, and actions including biting opponents and insulting one with a racial slur for which he has been suspended by the Premier League and have earned him a poor reputation with fans. Suárez says his goal for his career is to change his image.
