Gerard Piqué has been the first protagonist of the Ibai Llanos’ new program ‘Chatting Quietly’, the new project on the Twitch platform along with other streamers with the aim of increasing the relevance of content creators in Spain. In the conversation, the FC Barcelona player spoke about the current situation of his team, his teammates, Spanish football and the immediate future of Barça at the title level.
The Barça central defender continues to recover from his grade 3 sprain in the internal lateral ligament and partial injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which he suffered last November in the Wanda Metropolitano. Meanwhile, he strengthens his appearance as a businessman, but he has also offered different interviews to talk about the current situation in sport, such as that of DjMaRiio or Ibai.
The Catalan, with respect to his physical ailments, has said that “I’m better than I thought I would be” and he works on his recovery, although he acknowledged that his physical state is not the best because he has not been to the gym for a long time. However, he has recognized that he works to recover and be able to contribute to his team. For now, with respect to Barça’s latest victories, especially after the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, believes that the Barcelona team is going for all. “I always go with the head that Barça win”, said.
In the talk, Ibai also made reference to the fact that Atlético de Madrid is the great candidate to win LaLiga Santander, due to its great performance, but Piqué does not see it so clearly, considering the performance of FC Barcelona. In fact, the central asked “Which team can win the treble in Spain?”, highlighting that only the Catalans and Sevilla are the only ones who are still ‘alive’ in the three competitions: League, Champions and Cup.
“Events happened that ended in the best possible way for us because Leo stayed.”
However, the most important of the talk has been the subject of Lionel Messi, who has been involved in endless rumors regarding his future. Regarding what he experienced in the summer, with his possible departure, he said that “it is a very complex situation, on the one hand you have the defeat against Bayern, which was tough. “ Besides that, he has valued the personal aspect of everything the Argentine was experiencing. “On the other hand you have the personal, 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 ultimate intention was. Now I see him happy, wanting to win as always and having him by my side is a guarantee of success “
From the ‘sextete’ to 2-8 against Bayern
Piqué has spoken about the differences between when he returned to Barça and 2020, with the elimination of the Champions League against Bayern Munich: “When I started and came to Barcelona the first year I won the sextet and then at 23 I won a World Cup. At that moment you celebrate it but when you are young and you win so much you think it is the custom, one more title, then we continue winning and you have the feeling that you are unstoppable and do not value successes “, he assured.
However, it has been clear on the negative of recent times: “In recent years, we’ve eaten shit, you value more what it is to win 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 “, acknowledging that” 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. “
