Piqué: “President of Barça? Right now I'm really enjoying tennis.” [sport]
Everything this guy is saying right now sounds like a player, who is already retired as a player, and is just waiting for the next elections to maybe try and get a role in the Board to go along with his other business commitments. The fact that he's not only still playing, but playing as a first choice center back at Barca, is heart breaking.
I always thought Pique would be a brilliant president because he's so dedicated to Catalonia and Barca, like Laporta was, but after the comments ever since Valverde is here, and his total ignorance to the glaring obvious problems we have in our structure, and only looking for his best interests, I'm not sure I'd even want Pique as president someday, might be the same crap like Bartomeu is, saying 'everything is fine' when it's all gone to shit.
While as a player, Pique is finished. Not only at this level, but on any level, he said it himself he sees himself ending his career at Barca and nowhere else. And as he's not even motivated/committed enough to play for his home/dream club right now, I just don't see him taking on a new challenge with a new club this late in his career, and with his countless other business commitments right now, his mind is already everywhere else BUT on football. And I don't think any other club than Barca right now under this crappy Board and coach, who let the senior players do whatever they want, would even tolerate his shitty performances, but even more so, this shitty attitude from him right now.
So he's milking Barca for that paycheck for as long as he can, and once we'll finally tell him to fuck off and go away, he'll just retire and focus on his businesses. So he's basically the same leech like the likes of Valverde and Rakitic are right now. They all know that this right now is their paycheck of a lifetime and they're simply not going to give it away until it's absolutely necessary, cause they know they won't have
like this ever and anywhere else again.
Now compare that with our actual legends that are Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, who not only left the minute they knew they couldn't give their 100% to Barca anymore, but they even left early, when they still had the quality to actually still play for us for a year or two more. Now that's an attitude that tells me 'I LOVE this club', not this selfish crap we're seeing from our seniors nowadays.
Admitting to the media he sleeps only 4 hours a day, like he's trying to justify his crappy positioning and lack of reactions and speed on the pitch, and his commitments with the Davis Cup and other things, like we the fans should care about anything other than his performances on the pitch! It's just embarrassing at this point. Busquets, even though he's also past it too, at least knows better not to come out and say stupid things like Pique does on a regular basis, just because he wants to be 'in the spotlight' one way or the other.
