DBasia.news – The defeat was led by Barcelona when they visited Athletic Bilbao. This is the first time in the last decade Barcelona opened the LaLiga season with a defeat and failed to score.
Nevertheless, Gerard Pique tries to remain positive. He considered bad results at the beginning of the season better than it was experienced at the end of the season which is very likely to result in failure of being the champion.
“This defeat is good for us. We better experience it now than at the end of the season. We just returned from preseason and there are some new players. then, sometimes the plans that are drawn up don’t work properly on the ground, “said Gerard Pique.
“In the first half, we had many chances even though they put strong pressure. Entering the second half, we confined their area and I thought we controlled the game. However, details are crucial and that is why they kill us.”
Another thing highlighted by Gerard Pique is fitness problems. He considered the Athletic Bilbao players physically superior in the match.
