He added on the subject:I started dating Shakira and my relationship with him changed. I was under a lot of pressure, I felt that in training I have to do everything perfectlyBut, he noted, “the relationship is now perfect.”
On the other hand, he was asked if Josep Maria Bartomeu is the worst president of Barcelona, And Pique said he was “unqualified to say whether he was the worst”. But he admitted that among those he experienced “must be close” to being so..
In addition, Pique defended his teammate, Samuel Umtiti, who was whistled by his fans during the start of the season for not wanting to leave FC Barcelona. He explained, “He fulfills all obligations. People have to be sympathetic to the player. Samo’s attitude is impeccable, he is training hard.”
