The captains join Piqué’s pay cut

BarcelonaGerard Piqué put Barça’s fans in his pocket, in a double game. The same week he took a step forward and lowered his salary to facilitate the registration of the club’s new signings, he paved the way for the victory against Real Sociedad by scoring the first goal of the match. For dessert, he celebrated it by making several kisses on the shield. The response from the Camp Nou crowd, how could it be otherwise, was a standing ovation from the more than 20,000 fans in the stadium. “Piqué is and has been the leader of this team. It was already last season, “praised coach Ronald Koeman.

“The discount? That’s what it was,” Piqué told Movistar just after the match. The center, second captain, took the flag of the locker room leader and spoke through the mouths of the other captains, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto, anticipating that the salary will also be lowered in the coming days. “We understand that’s what the club needs, right now. It’s not just my thing. I’ve been the first to lower my salary on a subject of timmings and to be able to register players. The other captains will do the same soon, “he commented.” Sometimes we don’t talk enough [als mitjans de comunicació] and there are misunderstandings. At all times I have been in contact with the club and the captains. We are a family “, closed Piqué.

Just a few minutes later, Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba came out to speak, giving validity to what his partner had said. “We are going after Piqué,” said Sergi Roberto. “It hasn’t been done before because the club has been busy with the Messi issue, but we have to be closer together than ever.” Alba was also added, hurt because, according to him, “lies have been published” about his contractual relationship with Barça, but assuring that: “I have always been willing to help the club, no one can doubt my commitment “. The forecast is that before the end of August this salary reduction has been formally initialed.

On the other hand, Gerard Piqué did not give any importance to some slight whistles that were heard during the match, especially Jordi Alba, took the opportunity to send an encouraging message to the fans, after the first match without Leo Messi with the azulgrana t-shirt. “No. We won’t have the talent we had before, but today we have shown that we will all go to one. I’m sure we will be very competitive and we will fight for all the titles. This year we will have fun, for sure.”
