The former Manchester united man has stated that the things at the Catalan club go very differently as compared to Mourinho’s Madrid.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique has stated that the Blaugrana have a very different approach towards things as compared to los Blancos and their coach Jose Mourinho.
Pique has recently recovered from injury and has cemented his place in the Blaugrana’s starting line up.
The defender was interrogated by a journalist about the behaviour of the Portuguese manager before the Madrid derby between Atletico and Real, and Pique didn’t seem greatly impressed by the behaviour of the tactician.
The Barcelona player stated that he and his team mates preferred to react and act in a more natural way and it’s all up to Mourinho how he decides to do things and it doesn’t concern them at all.
“Mourinho putting on another show appearing before the game? It’s his decision to go out there and let people judge him. Here we are more natural, we behave in a consistent way and that’s it.”
Pique also heaped praise on the efforts put up by their coach, Tito Vilanova, as he led Barcelona to put up the best ever start to a La Liga campaign in the competition’s 103 year history.
The Spanish defender also stated that it spoke bundles about the character of the coach as he had to encounter a tumour problem last year.
Pique also insisted that he would like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 to bag the coveted Ballon d’Or award for a 4th time running and also admitted that Andres Iniesta and Cristiano are equally favourites to win the prestigious accolade.
“I sincerely think [Andres] Iniesta can win the Golden Ball, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 had a great season, but as I’ve said many times, my favourite is Leo [Messi]. To score 50 league goals is outrageous.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are to take on Benfica in their upcoming Champions league game and have already sealed their progression to the next round of the tournament
The Portuguese outfit however needs a positive result from the Camp Nou fixture to have a chance to qualify, also depending on Celtic’s result against Spartak Moscow.
