Good luck 'negrito' - Liverpool's Pacheco gives some 'love' to England's Johnson

Liverpool young gun Daniel Pacheco has made a controversial post on Twitter which could grab the attention from Football Association officials.

The Spaniard wished Reds teammate Glen Johnson good luck ahead of Euro2012 but used a word which recently got one of his other mates into plenty of trouble.

Luis Suarez was banned for eight matches for using the word 'negrito' towards Manchester United's Patrice Evra last season which could prompt FA hierarchy to look into Pacheco's post to Johnson which reads: "@glen_johnson good luck negrito !!!!"

Pacheco later cleared up what he was trying to say to Johnson, assuring his followers that he uses it as a term of endearment.

"I Allready explained in past what Negrito could mean. Good or bad depends how you say it. I always called @glen_johnson it in terms of love.

He added: "Last tweet about it. @glen_johnson speak spanish and he knows what that mean when I say it to him. He is one of best mates there for me."
