Gerard Piqué

[ThwiX]

Russia barely looked dangerous all game, but he gifted them that penalty that made them hold on. What a way to retire from your national team.

koulibaly >

been the best defender this tournament and in europe. should look to sign him

 

[Givenchy]

hes the gift that keeps on giving for his haters.. glad he scored the pen or he might not be able to return to Spain

His hand goes back up after the ball goes over his head. International.

 

[KingMessi]

That's what I get for typing on my phone.

 

[FatSuarez]

A sure PK, but just as the video showed he is up in the air during the entire action, not intentional, nothing he could do about that.

Except maybe keeping his arm less than 3 feet above his head. He even extends his arm higher to meet the ball.

 

[Joan]

That's what I get for typing on my phone.

I thought it was a joke.

 

[BarcaMessi]

Even unintentional, his left hand blocked what could have been a goal.

 

[Horatio]

A sure PK, but just as the video showed he is up in the air during the entire action, not intentional, nothing he could do about that.

lol it's intentional as hell. He knew he had a player behind him jumping up with him. He missed and tried to close the space for the ball to move through.

It's even more obvious looking at his reaction towards the ref. If it was truly uninentional he would've looked frustrated.

 

[Messi983]

successfully sabotaging his NT again, don't know why people are complaining.

 

[Truthist]

I don't know how warrants a starting place season in and season for club and country. Literally, his whole career is littered with comical errors. He's lucky, every team he plays for always has over 60% possession, Imagine if he had to put a defensive shift in which solid defenders do from time to time, he would get skinned alive.

what a stupid analogy . He is a ball playing defender not the Godin type of defender you are looking for . In that aspect he has been one of the best modern day defender . Godin would struggle in a team that plays high line were Pique's intelligence has made him one of the best . Vice versa too . Doesnt discredit what he has done for spain and Barcelona . one doesn't become Cb of a world cup winning team by fluke . It's ok to criticize him because he is playing shit these days . Not many teams defends like Uruguay and Atleti in modern era . That's when Players like Pique , Ramos, Alves and Marcelo becomes deadly for the teams that keeps high line

And that is why you need a ballsy manager. If a player is not in form, bench him regardless of his status and name.

SAF's biggest strength was that . He got rid of big names just at the right time .

 

[Barcilliant]

Fuck, why is he still playing?

His head is off the pitch. We have too many untouchables which is a huge liability.

That ass clown 🤡 Valverde is shit scared of the senior players. At least Lucho had balls.

Mate have you ever watched Godin? That man’s not too shabby on the ball either. He frequently makes dribbling runs from the back, his technique is good and passing is decent.
