Gerard Piqué revealed after Barcelona’s victory against Real Sociedad that not only has he accepted to lower his salary, in his case so that they could be registered for the debut in the League Memphis Depay and Eric García, but also that the other three will team captains, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto.

«The gesture is what it touched. I have been in total contact with the rest of the captains for the reduction and they will also take the step shortly. This is a family and we all go to one. We are all going to adjust to what the club required and we are proud of this and eager to continue performing. I was the first for a ‘timming’ issue, as it was needed now, “but they are also ready,” revealed the Catalan central defender.

«It is not a thing only mine, but of all the players to whom the club has asked an effort. Sergi, Busquets and Jordi have lined up to reach an agreement with the club. We have all wanted to contribute and help the club, “insisted Piqué, who after opening the scoring against Real proudly kissed the Barça shield.

“I was born here in Barcelona, ​​I was raised here, I came to the stadium since I was a child and I have been a player for many years,” recalled who cannot forget what Leo Messi has represented at Barça and what he will be missed , although he is optimistic. “Without Messi we will not have the talent of before, but we have a goal and we are going to have fun,” ventured who also spoke of the whistles that Jordi Alba suffered from the Camp Nou: “Maybe because we don’t go out much to talk there are misunderstandings.”

Jordi Alba explodes

«What hurts me is that lies are told. I have shown what he has given in Barcelona and what people talk about me and what people might think hurts me. Many things come out and not all of them are pleasant for me and my family. I will give everything as I have always done on the field of play. Nobody can doubt the commitment. The time has come to speak. My predisposition has always been to help the club in everything they have asked of me, like the other captains, and there should be no doubt, “said Jordi Alba, very angry after Barça only reported that it had been Gerard Piqué who had lowered his salary and ignored that the other captains are also willing to do so.

«You also have to ask the president. We cannot be every two by three the players going out to speak, because if we weren’t we would go crazy, but I have always been a guy who goes straight and I have always told the truth. I love the club, we are going through difficult times and we have to do it, “added the Barça left-back.
