Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has apologised to Patrice Evra after refusing to shake hands before Saturday's match between Liverpool and Manchester United.
Liverpool's official website issued the Suarez's apology on Sunday night, the Uruguayan saying he quote 'got things wrong'unquote. Suarez had only just returned to the team after serving an eight match suspension for racially abusing Evra when the teams last played each other in October.
While Suarez claimed his words were misunderstood and blamed the incident on cultural differences, the English Football Association deemed his acts worthy of punishment following exhaustive analysis of the incident.Manchester United responded, issuing a statement on it's own website saying the team had accepted the apology.

在上周曼聯主場對利物浦的比賽中，客隊前鋒蘇亞雷斯因為在賽前拒絕與曼聯隊長埃弗拉握手而成為千夫所指。蘇亞雷斯因為被指控在此前的比賽中對埃弗拉有種族歧視的行為而被禁賽8場，對曼聯的比賽只是他復出后的第2場比賽，烏拉圭前鋒仍然感到忿忿不平，拒絕與埃弗拉和解。賽前拒絕握手的行為顯得有失風度，也讓利物浦俱樂部的形象受到損害。面對潮水般的批評聲，蘇亞雷斯終于表示道歉，并且承認拒絕握手的行為讓他感到后悔。
