Speaking to Barça TV, Gerard Pique has revealed much about current goings on at FC Barcelona. After thrashing Valencia in Sunday’s league match, the centre back spoke about Barça’s situation in that competition…

“I think the difference in the league is excessive. We’re playing great football. There have been a lot of points we have dropped in the last few minutes”.

Piqué thinks they now have to deal with things in the short term. “We shouldn’t think about the distance right now. We have to go game by game. Try to enjoy ourselves, try to win and let’s see if in a couple of months we are better positioned to close in on the leaders and make the league a bit more exciting”.

A lot has been said of late about the relationship between Piqué and Guardiola, but the centre back insists “there aren’t any problems; we’ve been working together for years. I know what he wants from me and I don’t think there are any problems in that sense. We have always spoken to each other face to face whenever there’s been anything to be said and if there is anything wrong, then he wouldn’t have any problem with coming up to me and saying it … At the end of the day, if you listened to everything people say, you’d go crazy. You just have to concentrate on what you have to do and try to ignore what people are saying”.
