Barcelona’s Chaotic Internal Issues, Puyol Sides with Messi rather than Pique

DBasia.news –  Carles Puyol, former Barcelona captain, claimed he would prefer Lionel Messi over Gerard Pique in addressing the chaotic issue at the Blaugrana.

Gerard Pique was in the spotlight after expressing scathing criticism at Barcelona management. Pique began to set fire to the dispute by calling the bad results obtained by El Barca at the start of the season and was not separated from the busy schedules.

Pique also denied that the players were the masterminds behind the minor results. The former Manchester United player accused Barca officials of having collaborated with the media to corner the players.

Pique’s statement instantly shocked the public. Lionel Messi immediately opened up by saying what Pique said was baseless. In addition, La Pulga has asked Pique not to bring up the matter again.

Carles Puyol, who continues to monitor the situation of Barcelona, had chosen to support Lionel Messi. Puyol felt that Messi had taken the right action.

“We must respect Gerard Pique. We all know him. He only says what he thinks. Besides, he is very open,” explained Puyol as reported by Sport.

“I prefer to talk like Messi. I will not act like Pique,” continued the player who had visited Indonesia.

“Lionel Messi is our captain and he has the right to vote. However, I believe the words he expressed in the locker room were appropriate. I judge there are no problems with coordination or anything,” Pique explained.

After the international break, Barcelona will visit Eibar headquarters in the 2019-2020 LaLiga match. Ernesto Valverde’s team were two points adrift of Real Madrid at the top of the table.
