【Now Sports】Barcelona coach Xavi opened up about Biki hanging up his boots, saying that this choice is very brave and a great decision. Gerard Pique’s contract with Barcelona was originally due to expire in 2024. Now that he has decided to hang up his boots, Barcelona will no longer have to pay his high salary. It has been pointed out that after multiple pay cuts, Biki’s salary is only half of the original, but the complete reduction of this expenditure will still help Barcelona’s financial situation.
When it comes to Pike hanging up his boots, Barcelona coach Xavi can only be grateful: “Bike still has an appointment and could have stayed at the club. So his decision was so amazing and so great. He talked to him privately and explained my future plans to him, and that was the most difficult time for me as a coach.” In this way, Bicky’s sacrifice of himself to achieve Barcelona, or Xavi’s lobbying has something to do with it.
“Becky is a brave man, a winner, a great teammate and a very smart man. He has always been a great captain of Barcelona, and could even be the president of Barcelona in the future. As long as he wants to, he can do it. There is no doubt that he has the ability to handle these matters and has leadership skills,” Chavey added.
