Former soccer player Gerard Piqué hinted that the Casio brand will sponsor the King League, a 7-a-side soccer competition organized with the collaboration of streamer Ibai Llanos.
The broadcast was attended by all the presidents of the Kings League, and at the beginning of it he said that ‘Kun’ Agüero it would deliver a shocking surprise for the tournament, but it would only be revealed after an hour of broadcast.
However, he could not wait and made the announcement earlier, apparently, he also wanted to make the controversy that Shakira unleashed his ex-partner, with his song with Bizarrap.
“I announce that Casio has given us watches. The King League has reached an agreement with Casio,” Piqué said.
Those present on the set jeered and chanted “Casio, Casio”. Meanwhile, Ibai said this “just kidding” and “this is joking”.
Piqué gave each of them a watch on behalf of the company. “Casio for Ibai, we have for everyone”.
Amid the laughter of those who were in the place, Piqué finished off the topic by saying that “this watch is for life, huh?”
His statements have caused all kinds of reactions among the public, since it could be a humorous way for Piqué to respond to Shakira after the release of her song with hard darts against her, in which she also compared this watch brand to a Rolex. “You traded a Rolex for a Casio.”
Internet users have said that with such an announcement Piqué has also decided to take advantage of the controversy to bill, as Shakira said.
What is the King League?
This consists of a league with 12 teams that are led by content creators and former soccer players such as DjMaRiiO, TheGrefg, Adri Contreras, Iker Casillas or Kun Agüero.
It should be remembered that This new modality has been a success among the audience, with an average of 500,000 viewers (we remember that it is only seen online and not on traditional television) and that it has reached peaks of close to a million viewers.
