He's averse to rushing because he's afraid of making mistakes. But way too often by waiting for the attacker to make his move, he's just conceding the upper hand in the situation.
And I would add, that's why Lenglet and Pique are terrible pairing. They both share same weaknesses. I would like to have someone quick, strong and fast with Pique than Lenglet. Pique is good in the air, passing the ball etc.
look at how much space he gives Ronaldo here. A good defender would be all over Ronaldo right when he picked up the ball, forcing him outwards and thwarting any momentum. Already before Ronaldo has touched the ball here, Pique has conceded the upper hand.

Afraid of being dribbled if he is too aggressive but of course great finish from Ronaldo
Yeah but that's the stakes a defender has to navigate constatly. Being passive or active is a balance. That's the art of defending. Here, I have no doubt that a top defender could have done way more.
Had dinner with UEFA President Ceferin a few weeks ago to learn about how UEFA go about their business so he could learn and apply it to whatever he's doing.
Wtf? Backstabbing laporta?

Barcelona president Joan Laporta joined the duo, too, just days before 12 clubs tried to leave UEFA's Champions League competition by launching the European Super League.
According to the cited media, Pique was interested in learning how the television money for the Champions League and other UEFA competitions was distributed. Ceferin explained to him in person.
And at the end of the lunch in Barcelona, Laporta appeared, too.
