The Juve defender doesn't have a problem with Suarez after the biting incident

Luis Suarez lived through his worst moment with Georgio Chiellini in the 2014 World Cup, when he bit the Italian defender.

Chiellini has published a book speaking about his career and in it he mentions Suarez.

"I admire his malice, if he loses it he becomes a normal striker. Nothing strange happened that day in the 2014 World Cup. I marked Cavani most of the game, another difficult player. I realised he had bitten my shoulder. It happened, but this is his strategy of contact in the body to body fight and I can say it, it's mine too.

"He and I are equals and I like to face attackers like him. I called him a couple of days later but there was no need to apologise. I'm also a big son of a bitch on the pitch and I'm proud of it. Malice is part of football. To beat an opponent you have to be intelligent."
