[Sport] Gerard Piqué and a confession: 'I like to provoke, I like controversy'

[[M]anuel]

 

The former Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué came out this Wednesday in defense of the current coach of the Barça bench, his former teammate Xavi Hernández, who he said is "the right one" to take the project forward

 

"Xavi has been in the house for many years, he knows it like no one else, he has mastered the game model, and right now there is no one better than him to try to turn it around," he said during an interview with the program 'El món a RAC1'.

More secrets?
Piqué, who revealed that since he retired a year ago he has only spoken to Xavi once - when he called him to invite him to the celebration of the League title - asked for "patience" with him, and gave as an example what he is doing as president Andorra: keep Eder Sarabia, despite a chain of five defeats.

Now immersed in the successful Kings League project, Piqué still does not rule out being president of Barça one day, "although right now I don't have it in my head," he added. And that idea has been losing strength for him as the months have passed.

 

 

Very hard
"I like to provoke. I like controversy, but a verbal controversy, well carried out. From there to violence, I don't understand that. I feel comfortable in it. Especially going to the Spanish and Madrid camps. I was going to the Spanish field and you started to see the people, that they all love you very much, you see signs, you laugh, you interact with them and they get even more upset. I loved it, it was the incentive to later play well.

"I always relate football as a show, that rivalry in the derbies, in the classics..."
