Gerard Piqué

[Merv]

stupid how underrated he is over here.

read today someone moaning about ranking players according to stats and stuff, one read:

"those castrol rankings are so shit, according to them pique is the best defender in the world"

And their point is? arty00231:

Wow, no one commenting on the superb performance of Gerard?
He clearly deserves his nick name Piquenbauer more every day.

I meant to swing by this thread.

Pique was immense today. Hated the profession foul decision though.

 

[ryuken]

Fucking yellow makes Pique out of the game at Camp Nou.

 

[barca96]

so now he is suspended.
so let's say we reach final, how many yellow cards does he have to collect before being suspended again?

 

[Metaphysical]

it's 3 yellows to a suspension and if we progress beyond arsenal there will only be 2 games before a possible final.

so if he avoids a red card he will be fine.

puyol will be treading a tightrope, though.

 

[Esteve]

What's the story with Puyol? He'll miss the second leg & the first of the semi (if we get there)?

 

[Metaphysical]

he misses the QF second leg through his red card.

he will be available for the first leg of the semi if we progress, and will be 1 yellow card away from suspension.

 

[Esteve]

Ah, ok. Thanks Meta.

thanks for the explanations.
i've never studied the rules for football nor basketball. just play my heart out.lol
so even though puyol has a red, the yellow cards he collected will still count?

Nope, after the 3rd, every odd number caution is a suspension(5th,7th). So if he gets a yellow card in each of the semi-final games, it's a suspension for the final. He has to be very careful.

According to EMD Pique is out for a week, so he's doubtful for the Classico. Terrible news.

What ? this is unbelievable !!!

 

[Metaphysical]

well guillemme said he won't be able to train for 4-5 days.

assuming it's the 5 day maximum then he'll just get in a couple of sessions (friday and saturday's gameday training) which should be enough you'd think.

you'd hope, anyway.
