Piqué received harsh criticism from Emery and Catalan responded true to his style

Gerard Piqué is never silent, but even when he receives criticism. On Sunday night, after the game between Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal, the coach of the ‘Yellow Submarine’, Unai Emery, pointed to the central defender of Barcelona when commenting on the controversial play carried out by Dani Parejo, his player, in which a goal was disallowed for his team.

“What happened to Piqué was criminal. It was a penalty and it was a hand, they didn’t whistle here a little bit ago (in a Villarreal vs. Barcelona) and we lost a game at home. And today, it is not hand. It hit him on the hip. With what has pushed the ball towards the goal has been the hip. The hand is there because it is there “said the Basque at a press conference.

“What was a real criminal was Piqué. But, well, then he was saying that it was not a penalty and then yesterday he was also protesting the ‘tweets’ of Madrid vs. Valencia, which gets into other games. What it has to be is sincere and not confuse people “, added the strategist of the yellow team.

Emery continued with his questions towards Piqué and asked the Barça player for honesty, who on Saturday gave his support to a suggestive publication of Valencia, which was measured with Real Madrid.

“That comes to mind because that penalty was not whistled from the VAR and that was dire. And then on top of him, instead of shutting up, because he released what he released to deceive people. It seems to me that we are neither honest nor loyal with the referees, with the VAR and with football. First you have to be. Today we must respect what the VAR has decided ”, sentenced.

Piqué, upon learning of this, did not delay in answering Unai Emery, via social networks. True to form, as always: “A person speaks who three years later was still complaining about the referee at 6-1. Get over it, Unai ”, wrote the athlete on Twitter.
