The prolific scoring-machine has had to put up with constant jeering from British supporters during the Olympic Games.
Luis Suarez, the captain of the Uruguayan Olympic team, claimed that he will ignore jeers from British fans when the two-time gold medalists take on Great Britain in Wednesday's decisive Group A clash.
Uruguay, who were beaten 2-0 by Senegal on Sunday, must obtain a victory over the hosts in Cardiff in order to secure themselves of a place in the quarter-finals of the competition, at Great Britain's expense.
The Liverpool star was targeted by fans during both Uruguay's clashes against Senegal and the United Arab Emirates, but the world-class striker insists that if this were to happen at the Millennium stadium on Wednesday, it won't be of any concern to him.
"Fans should focus on themselves and their own team," stated the 25-year-old. "What interests me are only the Liverpool and Uruguay fans."
Suarez has been continually jeered by British supporters since being charged with racial abuse against Manchester United's French defender Patrice Evra.
In the 2010 World Cup, Suarez also received his fare share of jeers, after saving what would have been a Ghana goal with his hand when inside of the area.
Diego Lugano, Uruguay's senior team captain, also voiced his opinion about the situation, by stating:
"They whistle at him because they respect him. That fills one with pride. When they whistle at you like that, perhaps it could even mean that they are scared, like what used to happen to Maradona's Argentina."
Suarez and Uruguay will rate their chances of upsetting hosts Great Britain in what promises to be an explosive match in Cardiff on Wednesday.
