So basically to get pique back you need a balance defense and a well functioning team.
Shocking
No.
Basically for him to function well, you need everyone around him to be in-form world-class players.

Because today, that was clearly the case.
Spain don't press yet his partnership with ramos is excellent. Its not like when Barca could play a midfielder there and not notice. Spain have played Busquets and Martinez there in 2011 when puyol was first injured and it was terrible. The only thing that worked was Ramos-Pique. Pique just needs a complimentary partner.
Don't forget the fact that with Spain he has a double pivot of Alonso and Busquets covering him..
Absolutely, so we should forget about the rest of the season and last year as well because he was just so bloody fucking brilliant against Bayern in the second leg. We should forget his performance in the first leg as well. Absolutely incredible how a player's value goes up and down based on one performance (which wasn't entirely flawless BTW).
But players don't simply have good performances out of nowhere; he can obviously play to this level and simply doesn't have the concentration/inclination/isn't told off by coaches/whatever. If we had good competition for the CB position and the coach made it very clear to him he wasn't guaranteed a starting role, I think we'd see a lot more performances like this.
Would've definitely been nice. Though it'd be interesting as to who Tito would drop though.Double pivot should have been used vs Bayern in the first leg, IMO.
