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.

在上周曼联主场对利物浦的比赛中，客队前锋苏亚雷斯因为在赛前拒绝与曼联队长埃弗拉握手而成为千夫所指。苏亚雷斯因为被指控在此前的比赛中对埃弗拉有种族歧视的行为而被禁赛8场，对曼联的比赛只是他复出后的第2场比赛，乌拉圭前锋仍然感到忿忿不平，拒绝与埃弗拉和解。赛前拒绝握手的行为显得有失风度，也让利物浦俱乐部的形象受到损害。面对潮水般的批评声，苏亚雷斯终于表示道歉，并且承认拒绝握手的行为让他感到后悔。
