Ibai Llanos and Gerard Piqué were for more than an hour live on Twitch. The streamer and the Barcelona center-back shared a while live on both channels and recalled an anecdote in which Piqué made reference to Álvaro Arbeloa years ago.
“We were never friends, we were acquaintances. What do you want me to say that I am a friend of whom I am not a friend?” Piqué asked the streamer. “You say it because everyone understood it,” the Basque replied. “What were we acquaintances? Nothing happens, it’s reality. What do you want me to say that we were friends?”
“I will make an acquaintance,” Ibai said about rebuking Barcelona in the debut of the team of this and Pique in esports. “I will give a stick in something that is not offensive but that really analyzed is offensive, “Ibai explained. “People can analyze whatever they want. In the word known there is nothing to analyze,” added Piqué.
The Barcelona center-back also discussed the World Globes and his relationship with Busquets, the penalty called on Ansu Fati against Valencia and the refereeing.
Piqué and Busquets watching the World Globes in the dressing room: “We were checking with Busi in the dressing room. Busquets told me the next day that we had given the Cuban one more point. He was super worried. That we had to be more professional and that an error of this magnitude could not escape us”
On playing and streaming on Twitch: “Maxi takes his elbows out for a little walk. I’ve been 14 years old and they always tell me the same thing, that I could dedicate myself to doing nothing else. When you play badly, people throw it in your face. It’s been many years. Let people say Whatever you want. I don’t care much. What’s more, we are going to do another World Cup, Ibai “
About a new event that they have not presented yet: “If Florentino calls me and gives me the New Bernabéu for free, we will do it in Madrid”
I hammered on the Valencia penalty: “Of those penalties at the Bernabéu … People who know how to play football know that this is a penalty in one hundred percent of the cases. I know that penalty at the Bernabéu is going to be whistled for sure. The player was in white. I remember Juanfran’s with Osasuna, who took him two penalties and saw two yellow ones. Two very clear penalties of very clear run over and poor Juanfran was sent off for two yellows for simulating a penalty. Two very clear penalties and you are sent off for pretend it. It’s not even criticizing, it’s just that I’m funny. It’s part of the story. Don’t be outraged, damn it … “
About arbitration: “Barça-Madrid because of the pressure, because of the clubs … They whistle us more in favor than the others. Atlético is in this group too. You compete with them to win the Leagues. You cannot compare yourself with Alavés, Osasuna , Espanyol or clubs that are not going to fight to win LaLiga. You are competing against Madrid and I ask for equality. I ask for it for everyone and I know it is difficult. I understand that for a referee it is complicated. Of course I cannot complain with other teams but with Madrid or Atlético. The issue of refereeing, never, and more so in Spain that loves controversy. You do a World Cup of marbles and there will be controversy, that’s the way it is … “
Vinicius and his possible signing for Barcelona: “Vinicius was very talented. Do you know that he was about to come to Barça? No, they offered Vinicius double. I spoke with him personally before going to Madrid and on the call the uncle recognized me that it was made by Barça . It was done. I don’t remember how it was. It was to receive him in the dressing room. It was done. Madrid arrived at the last second and offered him everything “.
Back to Selection: “I hadn’t thought about whether to go back to the National Team. Now we use the breaks for other things … We have to talk to FIFA so that they make more breaks. When I retired I was already thinking about the Balloon World Cup”
On Bartomeu and his statements about Mbappé: “I’m not going to give an opinion … That really turns me on badly …”
Exit after losing: “If you lose and have a bad day the next day, don’t have a party, but people have to understand that we have a life. We try to do our best and sometimes it doesn’t work out.”
A player who came out after 2-6: “There is a very good anecdote about a Madrid player from the day 2-6 but I’m not going to say it. There was a Madrid player who went out to party that night. There was one from Barça who came out and found him. surprise
Kevin Roldán with you started it all: “It was me. That year we won the treble, the second. Kevin Roldán thanked me a thousand times later”
The classic: “El Clásico is special. You adapt the whole day. The country stops. There is no better feeling than having the 90,000 people in the field again. Doing a Clásico behind closed doors was very sad. On Sunday we no longer have restrictions and play with everything the fans … This year the fans are with us more than ever. Being with us we can become unstoppable. To continue being because we need you more than ever. It is a pleasure and more so in a game like Sunday’s. First we have to to win yes or yes to Dinamo. In the Champions League we are in a complicated position. It seems that it is the typical game that you have to win. They squeezed us before.
Locker room jokes and jokes: “In the dressing room we have an atmosphere of the host. The veterans, the sacred cows … We are the oldest and the youngest and we have a great atmosphere. There is a lot of joke and the youngest pay even though Jordi Alba is in all of them. I tend to be in almost all of them. And then there are others that you wouldn’t expect that they weren’t there as lenglet. The level of jokes has dropped a lot. At United it was a show. Rooney, Evra, Ferdinand … It’s A queer now. You deflate a car tire or cut off her long pants. What was really cool was the black English humor and it’s beastly. If we do 24 hours I’ll tell you “
Zaragoza: “It was crazy. We qualified for UEFA. A great team. Aimar, D’Alessandro, the Milito, Celades, Movilla … He played pivot. 4-2-3-1 and I was the offensive pivot. I had to reach the rival area. I had a great time with Victor Fernández as coach. I went out partying a lot, a lot and I have very good memories. We celebrate it as it happens when we enter UEFA. It is very cold. I would like to go back before I retire to play in Zaragoza “
Streaming Frequency: “Don’t expect me to do too many. When I feel like it, we’ll be around”
