The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 president stated that the Catalan side’s dressing room is united and rejected speculations of tensions between Guardiola and Pique.
Reports in Spanish press reveal that Barcelona manager, Josep Guardiola, and star defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique, are not on talking terms.
It has been reported that the Catalan manager is unwilling to stand by as Pique’s off-field antics increase with the passage of time.
The Spaniard crossed his limits ahead of La Blaugrana’s UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first-leg encounter with Bayer Leverkusen, as the whole Barcelona squad had to wait for the 25-year-old to report to duty after being involved in a traffic accident.
Reflecting on the situation, the chief of the Catalan club rejected the ongoing rumours as he stated that such rumours have no foundations.
Continuing on the subject, Rosell targeted television channels who he believes are fuelling such speculations for their own selfish reasons.
The Barcelona supremo also launched a scathing attack on television channel, Telemadrid, and accused them of misinforming the public with false information.
"This is completely not true, it is a calumny and has no foundation whatsoever," he told TV3.
"At http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, all decisions about new arrivals and player exits are made by Guardiola and [sporting director Andoni] Zubizarreta.
"It is a shame that public TV channels like Telemadrid are playing this game and that in a time of crisis, public media are trying to misinform people with lies.
"I would be worried if I paid taxes in Madrid."
Despite their off-field woes, Barcelona’s on-field problems finally look to be thinning. La Blaugrana have finally found consistency in their recent displays with talisman, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, taking centre stage.
The pint-sized attacker has scored 7 goals in his last couple of games for the Catalonia-based outfit. His five against Bayer Leverkusen in UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second-leg added another record under his belt.
On the other hand, his brace against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander meant the Camp Nou-based outfit overcame their resilient hosts, while also helping himself to the 50 goal mark in the ongoing 2011/12 season.
