Luis Suarez says he is getting help in order to control his

"impulse" to bite.
The striker, 27, who will make his Barcelona debut against Real Madrid on
Saturday, was banned for four months for biting Italian defender Giorgio
Chiellini during the World Cup.
Admitting he had a problem, Suarez told the Guardian Weekend magazine: "It
is like an impulse, like a reaction.
"I believe I am on the right path now, dealing with the people who can help
me, the right kind of people."
Suarez's attack on Chiellini was the third time the Uruguayan had bitten an
opponent.

He had previously done the same to PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkalwhile
playing for Ajax in 2010, and Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic when he was a
Liverpool player in 2013.
"Everyone has different ways of defending themselves. In my case, the
pressure and tension came out in that way," he added.
"There are other players who react by breaking someone's leg, or smashing
someone's nose across their face. What happened with Chiellini is seen as
worse.
"I understand why biting is seen so badly."

last time Suarez played a competitive game of football
Suarez, however, remains unrepentant about his clash with Manchester
United's Patrice Evra in October 2011, when he was found guilty of racial
abuse, banned for eight matches and fined 40,000.
"I know I was wrong with the biting but I was accused of racism without any
proof," Suarez said.
