Pique To Deal With Boos, Cools Real Madrid Fans

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has confirmed he has no problem with Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos and reaffirmed his commitment to the Spanish national team, despite being jeered by his own supporters at recent matches.  

The 28-year-old called an impromptu press conference on Thursday after being whistled in La Roja’s last two fixtures by Spanish supporters. Ramos had claimed Pique has not “helped” himself with some of his behaviour but the latter stated during the presser that the dynamic between the two is now fine after some early issues.

Gerard Pique To Luis Suarez - Don't Bite Me

Barcelona star Gerard Pique has revealed how he jokingly warned Luis Suarez not to bite him after dispossessing the club's summer signing in training this week. Suarez arrived at Camp Nou from Liverpool in a €95 million over the summer but is yet to make his competitive debut for the club after serving a four-month ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.

The 27-year-old has made a big impression on his new team-mates in training, but Pique says that has not stopped him being at the centre of several jokes at his expense over his indiscipline over the summer.

WORLD CUP: Spain Ditch Barcelona Duo Xavi And Pique For Chile Encounter

Spain boss Vicente del Bosque has made a couple of notable alterations in his starting XI to face Chile, dropping Xavi and Gerard Pique to the bench.

After losing their opening World Cup match against Netherlands by a 5-1 margin, the reigning world and European champions must earn a positive result against the Chileans to maintain a meaningful hope of qualifying for the last 16, and as such the coach has made changes in his unit. The highest profile players to drop out of the panel for the clash are the Barcelona duo, with club-mate Sergio Busquets and Bayern Munich’s Javi Martinez deputising.

Between them, Xavi and Pique have accumulated nearly 200 international appearances between them and have been part of the bedrock of a team that has won all of the last three major international competitions it has entered.

PIQUE: Blame The Players For Barca's Failures Not Martino
