In the media, amidst rumors about a possible departure of Cesc Fabregas, his teammate Gerard Pique has a different opinion.
According to the defender, the former "Arsenal" captain is now playing for his dream and childhood team, which he has no intention of leaving at all.
"Cesc will definitely stay in Barcelona. It's his dream team. He is a top-class player, so it's not surprising that in the summer such footballers receive offers from other clubs. Cesc has done everything to be able to return here and I never had any doubts that he could suddenly move on to play elsewhere. C. Fabregas is vitally important to our team," G. Pique said at a press conference in Bangkok.
The footballer also stated that he fully understands why "Barcelona" still hasn't acquired the much-needed reinforcement in defense: "I think not every candidate meets the requirements. It's not easy to find a player who could fit into the team as quickly as possible and be a serious boost."
According to the Catalan, since the team's helm was taken over by Argentine Gerardo "Tata" Martino from the ill Tito Vilanova, there have been no radical changes: "We still train hard. The coach likes it when we press the opponents actively all over the field and try to quickly take possession of the ball. True, "Tata" prefers to talk to the players personally. I think this will have a positive effect on the footballers."
