Posted on November 24, 2021 at 2:00 pm by B.C. Former teammate of Xavi, Gerard Piqué is now playing under the orders of the Spanish legend. After the game against Benfica (0-0) on Tuesday, the FC Barcelona defender stressed the importance of his arrival for the Blaugrana. Cold with Ronald Koeman since his return to the presidency of FC Barcelona , Joan Laporta decided to bet on Xavi to forget the Dutchman. A choice that was unanimous in Catalonia, as the former midfielder of the club culé is respected among the Blaugrana. Xavi will therefore have time to try to bring his paw to FC Barcelona , and this is already noticeable in the play of his team. However, that was not enough to get rid of Benfica (0-0) on Tuesday, which would jeopardize the chances of qualification for Barça for the knockout stages of the Champions League, but after the match, Gerard Piqué wanted to send a strong message to Xavi , his former teammate. “Having shared a locker room with Xavi forces you to give more, we cannot let it go. This fact is more valuable than any pressure or message we may have with the coach. He demonstrates everything we could already see in him on the pitch. Today, he conveys those same ideas in the role of coach. We veterans are here to help. When things aren't going well, people ask for a change. When someone new comes up with their ideas it helps people and players see it as an opportunity, the team is very motivated, you got to see it in the game against Espanyol and still today ” , explained Gerard Piqué at the microphone of Movistar +.
