Given that the player played in only 5 games for the Catalan squad this season, of which 3 were as a basic, it appears that Xavi was saying that he had told his former teammate that he would not be one of the major.
Pique said on Thursday that he had decided to retire from football after this weekend’s league match against Almeria would be his final game.
What Pique-related comments did the Barcelona coach make to the media?
• “We had a secret discussion at the start of the summer. It was one of the most challenging things I had to do as a coach to explain my aims to him.
• “I have to make decisions, and frequently another player is involved at Pique’s expense.”
• “The football player always feels that the coach should take the blame when he chooses not to participate.
“Since he still has a contract and is eligible to play for the team, his gesture reveals an amazing bone.
The club made it seem as though it was reluctant to extend the veteran defence player’s contract until 2023, which made the veteran’s start to the current season challenging.
The 35-year-old played 615 games for Barcelona after returning from Manchester United in 2008, placing him fifth on the list of the team’s most prominent players.
Pique earned three Champions League championships with Barcelona, eight Spanish league championships, the World Cup, and two European Championships with the Spanish national team.
Xavi Pique is said to as “one of the best defenders in football history. It is a great professional and a role model for the group. He merits all adulation and respect, and Barcelona supporters should revere him for the legend that he is “.
Before leaving the game, Xavi discusses what he told to Biké at the start of the season.
