According to Spain sports newspaper Marca and other major media outlets reported that Pique expressed discontent toward management who leaked negative information about the team to the media.
Lionel Messi has returned from injury, but is leaning toward an ordinary team, resting because he couldn't avoid injury again. There was a gap of only two points between the top-ranked Real Madrid, but some said it was poor in terms of performance.
In addition to Messi early in the season, Barcelona showed signs of shaking, with Luis Suarez sidelined with injuries and a 0-1 loss to Atletic Bilbao and a 2-2 draw on Osasuna's away.
After the getafé match, Pique said,We all have to unite as one. "Everybody includes the fans and the players as well as the management.They know which media they're familiar with and who's writing the story. I also know who's leaking the information related to the team out there.
Pique has frequently said things that only insiders can tell for team unity recently in the player's waiting room. This has been disputed by the Barcelona-based media. This means coach Ernesto Valverde's poor ability to control the player's waiting room, so he has to react sensitively from the point of view.
Pique is said to have requested a meeting with josep maria bartomeu. Captain Lionel Messi is also expected to be present to strongly convey the opinions of the players and say that there should be no media play by the team's management.
I don't want to fight with management,Pique said. You have to win on the ground. No one wants to have a fight they don't want. We should not fall together, calling for a firm response from Bartomeu.
