The Liverpool striker was slammed by FIFA bigwig Jim Boyce who accused the Uruguayan of ‘cheating’ football by trying to con refs into awarding him penalties.
But Suarez has now hit back — branding FIFA vice-president Boyce an attention-seeking nobody.
Suarez, 25, said: “This guy, I’ve no idea who he is.
“I don’t know why he has been talking about me. He certainly can’t be well-known and he wants to get publicity.
“Let him carry on talking. My job is to play football and to try to do so in the best way possible.”
Suarez has earned a reputation for going to ground easily. In the last month he was denied a penalty against Manchester United and was accused of diving against Stoke.
But he insists he will ignore Boyce’s comments and concentrate on playing — just like last season after the race row with Patrice Evra.
The £24million striker also thanked the Uruguay FA for criticising Boyce’s comments.
They wrote to FIFA president Sepp Blatter complaining and Suarez added: “What he has said does not affect me. I am not interested in what he has to say.
“I have lived through a lot in the past year with people saying things about me.
“But I have continued playing and proving my job is what happens on the pitch.
“It’s been important to have the support of the Uruguayan FA and the people.”
Suarez is now Liverpool’s only fit senior striker after Fabio Borini fractured a toe with Italy’s Under-21s.
It leaves boss Brendan Rodgers praying the Uruguayan stays injury-free until January — assuming he is then given the funds to buy an attacker, which he was denied in the summer.
Yet rookie Danio Pacheco believes he can follow the footsteps of Raheem Sterling, Suso and Andre Wisdom.
The Spanish forward, 21, has made two appearances this term — in the Europa League win at Young Boys Berne and the Capital One Cup victory at West Brom.
Pacheco, signed in 2007 after coming through the Barcelona ranks, is full of confidence he can be the next off the conveyor belt.
He insisted: “I hope this is a new opportunity for me. We have already seen he is giving a chance to the youngsters so, hopefully, I will get one in the next few games. I’ve played a few matches and think I did quite well, so hopefully by working every day I can get back in again.
“I was supposed to go on loan to Spain in the summer but it didn’t happen, so I went to see the manager.
“He said he’d treat me as a professional and an adult.
“He has given me the chance to try and impress him — so now it is my job to do my best.”
