Diamantino Miranda analyzed, on Correio da Manhã's television channel, the classic match between Sporting and Porto (1-0), from the Portuguese Cup, specifically the stealing gesture by Luis Suárez. The Benfica legend questions whether the Colombian forward will receive the same treatment as Gianluca Prestianni did in the case with Vinícius Júnior.
"Luis Suárez's gesture? I was expecting to hear comments like those about Prestianni, where nobody knows what he said but everyone thinks he should get a 10-game suspension. Here (Video of Luis Suárez) no, here you can see it," he said on the Liga D'Ouro program.
The former forward imagined if such a thing happened in a European competition. "If it were in UEFA, would this take a long time? Or would there be pressure about what should happen to Prestianni the next day? This is visible!" he expressed strongly.
Diamantino Miranda also made a final comparison between the two episodes. "I am certain of one thing. If it were a Benfica player doing this... I would like to hear the same comments that were made for 10/15 days about Prestianni," he concluded.
