Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is not thinking of doing without Gerard Pique for the rest of the season. Not even after the recent controversy involving his voice messages with Luis Rubiales, the RFEF president, and his involvement in taking the Spanish Supercopa to Saudi Arabia.
"Geri is an extrovert, he likes to be spoken about," Xavi said Wednesday. "We are opposites in that sense, I am more prudent, more diplomatic, him not so much, that's Gerard, I know him.
"If he was distracted or not focused, I'd be the first to warn him. But I think this motivates him, it fuels him, this is his drug, in a good sense, his adrenaline. He's very focused and implicated, his performances have been brutal and we missed him last few games. I think he's doing good, as for the discomfort he's fine.
"He's an intelligent guy. He knows what he needs and this could even make him compete better!"
Pique has returned to the squad for Thursday's trip to Real Sociedad after missing the last three matches with a minor problem.

We supported Chelsea but we will support city that’s a fax
Exactly what I said. Barca fans move to the next opposing team to Real Madrid. Thats the famous Barca obsession. I didn’t support Frankfurt or Cadiz. I don’t think most Real Madrid fans do that, even if it’s against Barca.

And if I may be fair, I wouldn’t talk about Obsession as a Barca fan. Barca fans tends to be obsessed with Real Madrid. See how they supported PSG, Chelsea, and now Manchester City.

Lol. That’s one way of looking at it. But you see I’m a football fan first. I enjoy the sport aspect and the business aspect. You act as though Barca fans don’t follow news on Real Madrid.

Two of Xavi’s rules don’t apply to Pique. - Players’ travel and off-field habits will be monitored - Players must maintain a good image
