Gerard Pique spoke out on Sunday evening about his ambition to become president of Barcelona. On Twitch, the centre-back has a conversation with Ibai Llanos, a well-known Spanish streamer, know that it would look different for a lot of people in the club if he were president of the club. Furthermore, Pique briefly discusses the situation around Ousmane Dembele and advises Erling Braut Haaland not to go to Real Madrid in any case.
The 34-year-old defender has made no secret of aspirations for the role of president in recent years. During the session on Twitch, Llanos asked for a status update and the concrete plans surrounding Piqué’s dream, who gave a striking response. “I would make a more modern club. I would change many things. I would blow everyone out. Everybody is toxico there. Anyone who feels addressed can fuck off. A tomar por culo”, said Pique, who is probably lashing out at various names within the club board.
Pique is also confronted with recent statements on Twitter. The Catalan has regularly made the news in recent weeks for remarkable tweets, in which he published his pay slip to prove journalist Lluís Canut wrong and in which he criticized controversial decisions by arbitrators in LaLiga matches. “When I start writing on Twitter, it means I’m motivated. I like to express myself on Twitter. You can see from me that I’m focused, that’s just how my head works. If it didn’t keep me busy, I wouldn’t be sharp.”
The transfers at Barcelona are also discussed. Pique also doesn’t know what will happen to Dembele, who is linked to Paris Saint-Germain and at the same time in syrupy contract negotiations with Barcelona. “I understand both sides. We are in a company that involves a lot of money. Everyone is free to defend their interests. Let the best solution be found. We asked him where his future lies, but he himself admitted not to know either .”
He is cryptic about the potential interest of both Barca and Real Madrid in Haaland. “If I were Haaland and I wanted to win the Ballon d’Or, I wouldn’t go to the same team as Kylian Mbappe”, with which Piqué Haaland indirectly advises not to leave for Real Madrid, to which Mbappe is emphatically linked.
