Many do not like him. It is too irritating for some. But when it comes to Gerard Pique, one thing is for sure. He has no hair on his tongue. It was like that this time as well, when he lost his temper.
A little more than a year ago, Barcelona was shaken by an affair in which it was revealed that the then president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, paid a company to insult football players on social networks and praised the club’s management.
At first, Pique defended the then-president, until he realized that it was in fact true. As a result, the experienced stopper is deeply disappointed.
–We expected Bartomeu to take the right measures, and then I learned that he knew everything. He lied to us about such a serious thing. I remember going public as an idiot to defend him.
The Spaniard also criticizes the team’s then-president for his lack of support.For example, Pique reveals that Bartomeu never visited the team in training.
He is an insecure person. He tries in all ways to make everyone happy. He doesn’t know how to say no. He doesn’t know how to deal with problems. We never saw him at training that year. I ran into him on one occasion, and he lied to me that he had nothing to do with Barcelonagate, but it became clear that the club hired some services to criticize the players.
Not only did Bartomeu write Pique, but he also wrote Lionel Messi for the club.
He tells us, in front of Leo and me, that he knew nothing. We told him to accept his view of the situation. I believed he knew nothing.
From almost every word of Pique, one can feel bitterness, remorse and contempt for Bartome, who left Barcelona with a debt of over a billion and a half euros!
That is why it is no wonder that Bartomeu is facing serious accusations of embezzlement today…
