Pique - Ready for the new season π₯
Itβs been reported that Xavi sat down with Pique and said he had to dedicate his time to football, otherwise he had to leave. Itβs well known that Pique has had a lot going on in his life.
Xavi wants players that are 100% dedicated. Pique can be that player. He thrives when facing criticism & doubters. He thrives with controversy, which is something we have seen in El Clasico & against Espanyol.
Apparently, Pique said this to Laporta:
βGo ahead. Bring in the best centre back in the world. He will be a substitute. I'll start."
βGo ahead. Bring in the best centre back in the world. He will be a substitute. I'll start."
This is the mentality you need from a player like Pique. He is motivated, and wants to finish his career at Barca the best possible way.
Being a starter is not a certainty, however, if he fights for the starting position he will push the others to perform at their very best. Pique will help create a competitive environment.
Pique is a class defender. A leader. I do believe next season will be his last. Hopefully, it will one of his best.
