SHOCKER! Juventus director Nedved backs biter Suarez AGAINST Chiellini!

Juventus director Pavel Nedved has amazingly attacked Giorgio Chiellini for his reaction to being bitten by Luis Suarez during the World Cup. Nedved sided with Suarez, who has since left Liverpool for Barcelona, after the Uruguay striker was banned for four months after biting Juve defender Chiellini.

"I was very angry with Chiellini for his reaction, as he behaved like a child showing the bite mark to the referee.

"I talked about it with Beppe Marotta and I'll discuss it with him directly. In any case, Giorgio showed intelligence over the next few days when he asked FIFA to reduce the ban.

"Suarez is a great player and I'd sign him straight away for Juventus. In fact, we were on the verge of getting him two years ago and I was fully in agreement. He's a champion and that is all.

"I have played on the pitch, so I know what it's like to have a little tantrum."
