In the midst of this preview, one of the players who gave interviews to international media was Luis Suárez, the main protagonist of that scene that went viral over the years.
The Uruguayan committed a handball to prevent Ghana from scoring the winning goal, and then the penalty for the Africans ended up being missed. In the penalty shootout, the 'charrúas' advanced to the semifinals and left a hard blow to "The Black Stars".
"I should not apologize for that. The Ghanaian player (Asamoah Gyan) was the one who missed the penalty after my handball. If I had made a tackle, with a red card, or had injured a player, maybe I would have apologized, but not for the handball. It was not my fault. It was not my responsibility to take the penalty," said Luis Suárez in a press conference.

In addition, Suárez made it clear that one should not live in the past. He recalled the time he bit Chiellini in Brazil 2014, so now it is a topic that is left behind between the two players.
"I messed up with Chiellini and then apologized and shook his hand. You can't live with the past behind and live for revenge. There's nothing wrong with apologizing," he added.
