The Catalan defender claims that Pep Guardiola’s motivation level is greater than the day he took over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 head coach Frank Rijkaard.
With uncertainty rising over Pep Guardiola’s future with Barcelona, it has been reported that the 41-year-old is losing interest in his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. The former Spanish international has lifted 13 trophies, including two Champions League titles and three La
Liga crowns.
Regarding Guardiola’s slow contract negotiations, La Masia graduate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique, voiced his opinion that the manager’s motivation has not changed.
Continuing on the subject at hand, Pique added that Guardiola is more intense than ever. He stated that Barcelona are stronger than before and the coach does not want the team to stop growing.
"I see Guardiola more motivated than in his first year here," Pique told reporters during a press conference. "That says everything.”
"Ever since Pep arrived, the team has not stopped growing. Barca are stronger now than four years ago.”
Barcelona have found a willing Real Madrid in their pursuit of winning La Liga for the fourth consecutive time. Los Blancos occupy pole position with a seven-point gap over La Blaugrana. Pique asked Les Cules to have faith in the team and not to lose
hope.
"It is others who have to win it and it is going to seem very long to them," Pique noted. "We will put pressure on them, there are many matches left and we will play against Madrid at Camp Nou.
"Trust us, because we will always be fighting. We have always shown that we can play well on any field."
Despite their league blushes, Barcelona managed to book a place in the final of the Copa del Rey. They will take on the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Athletic-Club-c38535 and the final will be held on either May 20th or 25th depending on La Blaugrana’s
progress to the final of the UEFA Champions League.
However, it has been the subject of venue that has sparked controversy. With the Mestalla and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan ruled out, the option remains between the Santiago Bernabeu and the Camp Nou.
