“I have seen him very happy and negative because he is in a position to continue,” said his grandfather
“His greatest hope is to put Andorra in the first, he is very excited,” he added
Gerard Piqué remembered his grandfather in his speech, after playing his last match at the Camp Nou. He made him a member of Barça the same day he was born, a feeling that he will carry forward until the end. “I was born here and I will die here,” said the footballer.
Amador Bernabéu was manager of FC Barcelona and reviewed the exciting day that the center-back experienced on Saturday at the Estadi. “A very great emotion and a very great sadness, it is a mixture of negative and positive feeling, positive for everything that Gerard has done, which has been a lot, It has been an ending that we did not expect, things are sometimes forced, I have seen him very happy and negative because he is in a position to continue“, he said into the microphone of ‘Cadena Ser’.
“I am excited, yes, because it has been many years since I have taken him to this house, I have lived his entire history, therefore, they are moments of affection that one remembers. He leaves like a gentleman, like what he really is. Those who do not know him thoroughly have no right to criticize him.“, he added.
Piqué’s new role, habitual on the bench, was new for the Catalan throughout his career as a Barça player, something to which he has not adapted. “It is a matter of personality of each one. He has given up everything for his happiness and it seems very good to me. He leaves in a hurry because, due to his personality and way of being, he is not a bench man and, after so many years, he is not used to being on the bench. He is in a position to play because, whatever is said, he has shown until the last minute that he can play. It is a sporting issue and we have to accept it, it seems very good and correct, but until here”, commented Bernabéu.
Finally, the former director made it clear that “Piqué would never leave FC Barcelona hurt. He is from Barça as we are the whole family, we are culés all our lives, Barça is our life and our history. He will never leave Barcelona hurt, people are one thing and the club is another“. Finally, he also acknowledged that “his vision is and will be Andorra because he is very excited about it. His greatest dream is to put Andorra in the first“.
