Gerard Piqu will be the first guest of the section ‘Chatting quietly’ that the streamer Ibai Llanos will have on his Twitch channel. The meeting, which will start at 9:00 pm, may be extended “for several hours” as announced by the Basque and can be followed in its entirety through these virtual pages.

“In 2019, when I renew everyone from Kosmos, I say that you have to attract young people. I saw that video of yours from the University and I thought of you to broadcast some game. 12-14 in the room. All older than me. Everyone looked at me and thought they had gone crazy. In the end, that only support you one, you go “

“Always, especially when I was 18-20 years old, I wanted to go to the last and understand everything. Now with 34 I am still young but that of the streamers, youtubers, it has cost me. There is more and more attention and at a very high speed, but I was there for a while. Now I consume content and have a lot of fun when I have time. I can understand that there are people who still do not perceive it. There is a lot of offer right now. Little by little you realize, especially if you have contact with people younger than you, that they say look at it. I liked it and sometimes I have gotten sick with games that you didn’t even know existed “.

“There are characters that make you unhappy. Jordi Alba, Aleix Vidal at the time, who give life to the dressing room. I make fun every 5 minutes. A video. Joaqun, who I have not agreed, transmits it. A united wardrobe that has a good time, it’s cool , It is very important. People think that every day we go out to train is like a friend’s game and it is not like that, it is a pain: strategy, … it is very cool to be a footballer but not every day we want to play football. Soccer. We have done this for 20 years and the fact of training every day and being better is not playing singles matches against married people. People do not perceive this and think that we are going to have fun there “

“When I got to Barcelona I tried to make the same jokes but they didn’t understand them. I made a couple of them and that’s it. Deflate someone’s wheels. Go out, shit on everything and threaten you. In Barcelona they didn’t give you the opportunity to follow the chain of jokes. A changing room cannot be a cemetery. A little chicha is not bad. Jokes have been made in all groups of friends, in smaller teams, everyone does what feels comfortable while everyone feels comfortable “

“In England the black humor they have is brutal. In the locker room I was having a great time. Evra came and came with some Nike shoes and began to show off. He goes to the gym to train and we burned his shoes with gasoline and recorded a video and We sent it to her. When she found out who she was, she returned and so every day

“If you take the locker room from that time … 17 years ago you were a young man and I respected veterans. The locker room was very small and at that time there were the old Nokia’s. Your pants were hanging up and the cell phone started vibrating Keane was leaning against my pants and it vibrated in his head. I asked who it was from. I didn’t say anything, nobody said anything, … and he asked it louder. I said it was mine and the octopus fell “.

We have always had a good relationship. It was already emerging. He arrived young but had the qualities to be a great player. I came from the lower categories of Barcelona from 13 to 17 and I saw that I could be the best. With Cristiano I always got along well and had a good time with him. Also players like Rooney, Scholes, Van Nistelroy, …

“I hope that the partner, within the limitations that we have, will vote. The three candidates are competent and whoever comes out will do very well and we must look to the future”

“It was a very difficult situation, not only because of the COVID that has complicated everything much more. A president has to try to manage the club that when problems arise you have to be there to solve them and make decisions even if people do not like them. You escape, you do not appear and you delegate mountains are made. You have to take the bull by the horns. There are times when you can annoy people but you have to make decisions so that the ship goes to a good port. There were specific moments that a little more of leadership, to show my face. I have always had a kind and cordial treatment. As a person I consider that there is no evil, but one thing is to be kind … You have to have the skills to lead a club like Barcelona, ​​which is a transatlantic. We players have had experiences of things that you do not understand, that is superior to you. And that leads to misunderstandings and from there to problems and I ended up blowing everything up. It was not my role, but it is true that more than once I told him that I went to the changing room, to the Sports City, and did not appear. Each one manages as is the best way and I understand that he tried to do it in the best possible way and not Ali and the club is as it is “

River: “I’m excited. I don’t know what to do with the money I earn and I feel like a humble club. Maybe not this year, but it’s on my mind.”

Piqu: “Do not jump into the pool and there is no water. You have to do what you want. From my experience it is very nice, a unique experience, watching football from another perspective, and at the same time you feel part of something that goes growing little by little “” When the COVID thing came out I was negotiating as captain in Bara and the opposite role with the Andorra squad “

“There are means and means. There are always some who are in single file waiting. It is part of life and our work. You are in the focus and the people where they enjoy the most is watching you sink. Here we function differently as a society and we should change But it is complicated, almost a utopia. You can always accept sports criticism. You go to a pitch and you could get a bad game or a bad season. Let them say that Piqu has not been up to the task or that he is slower than The bad guy’s horse is respectable. The problem is when we touch on politics, being a businessman, family or sentimental, what my wife represents … they are many and very varied. I would like to be valued only for what I do , for my sports performance “

“I think about how I can be a better person, footballer, businessman. You have to live to love more. When I started and came to Barcelona the first year I won the sextet and then at 23 he won a World Cup. At that moment you celebrate it but when you are young and you earn so much you think that it is the custom, one more title, then we continue winning and you have the feeling that you are unstoppable and you do not value successes. In the past few years, that we’ve eaten shit, you value more what it is to earn titles and be successful. The harder you work the luckier you are. Luck is very good and sometimes it is true that you have to have that luck to win or lose, but in general it is accompanied by a lot of work. I hurt you a lot, but it is part of life. A few years you win the sextet and another gives you a slap that you don’t know where it came from and it’s a reality check. Failure is always a part of life and is misunderstood. In the United States, when you fail, you think that you have tried, and in Spain, when you fail, people are waiting for you to sink and that is why you cannot lower your arms. When they see that they can not go crazy “

“We talk little about football. We talk about everything a little. The fact of being on TV seems that we are from another planet and we have the same concerns as any other planet. We spend a lot of time together, especially in rallies. Card games , Play games … “

“It’s totally different, now it’s all more light. It’s not to blame (Mourinho) for everything, but his figure arrived and everything got hot and when he left everything cooled down. The facts are there. I am one of the people who am enough to put weeds and mess it up within the parameters that I consider to be legal or at least that you do not cross the red line. At that moment he crossed. There were actions like sticking the finger at Tito (Vilanova). And the media and campaign in Madrid that seemed like nothing was happening. We already know how this goes. Then over time it has been shown that you can have friendships with the rival while maintaining the sporting rivalry. With Sergio I get along cordially, very well, we have a deal. With Nacho, with Lucas, with all of the national team I get along well. “

“He’s at the level he’s been in the last few years. Since he left Ajax for Liverpool he has kept his scoring records very high.

“Which teams have the option of a triplet in Spain? Do you already give the League to Atltico? Atleti wins 5-0 every game … You have to trust Bara, worse things have been seen in football”

“It is a very difficult situation for everyone because you have the situation of the club that after the game against Bayern you imagine what Leo was and on the other hand and what Leo means for the club and for the sport. Events happened that ended in the best possible way for us because Leo stayed. I don’t know what his final intention was. Now I see him happy, wanting to win as always and having him by his side is a guarantee of success “

“They are not the best years, but in yesterday’s game, despite going 0-2 down, we gave the feeling that anything could happen. More than qualification, he hit the table out of attitude and wanting to compete “

“When Barcelona plays I always think they are going to win. When we have the result we make decisions, but I always think they are going to win”

“I’m better than I expected when I got injured. I was hoping it would take longer to do change sessions. I need several hours running, spinning, jumping, touching the ball and I’m adjusting to it. I opted for a conservative approach and, let’s touch wood, it seems that is going very well “
