Ernesto Valverde is more than annoyed with the attitude of Gerard Piqué . And not inside the field, but outside. The latest reports that inform about a new night out of the central have lost the nerves to the Basque coach.
The fact is that Piqué was seen at 5 o'clock in the morning at the Casino de Barcelona in the early hours of Wednesday to Thursday, hours after having played the Copa match against Murcia where, by the way, the defender scored a goal.
As if that were not enough, what has bothered Valverde the most is knowing that Gerard was partying at 5 o'clock in the morning when at 9 he had a scheduled training in the sports city of the Catalan club.
Firm hand
And the Txingurri is not Luis Enrique . The Basque, unlike the Asturian, is a coach with a strong hand who does not like anything that his players have irresponsible attitudes.
Valverde not reproached him, for example, the night out of last week as the central neither had training the next day, nor could travel to Valencia because he was sanctioned. What everyone does on their 'free days' is theirs, but partying at three hours of starting a workout is not professional.
That's how he thinks and he has let his pupil know. It does not think to consent, as it happened in previous times, that its players are not one hundred percent concentrated in the sport. The season is well on track and Valverde does not want to be twisted by attitudes like Piqué's , which, in fact, does not go through its best moment.
Hence, Bartomeu and his family are looking for a young and eager center. Gerard is in the process of renewal and, at the moment, it does not seem that it will be easily solved. The Catalan is asking a lot of money and from the club are not very predisposed to raise the salary to an older player.
That is why Valverde , seeing also that the game of ' Geri' is not what it was, has already asked the technical secretary urgently to sign a good defense. The Txingurri only has Samuel Umtiti one hundred percent at Barça .
Piqué is increasingly scattered, Javier Mascherano is closer to retirement than anything else and Thomas Vermaelen is still a filling player. Just like the defense of Valverde , he only needed that Gerad spent the nights awake. He has made it known in a very loud and clear way. We will see if the Catalan is paying attention or is still playing roulette.
