“It’s a very complicated issue because I know him and I appreciate him”, were the former Catalan defender’s first words about his friend, with whom he shared several seasons on the pitch as a Barça player. “It’s very screwed up for everyone, for him and for those of us who were his teammates. Justice has to go its way. I want to wait for what the judge says, and from then on, help the victim above all in the process”, he added.

Regarding the arrest of the Brazilian on January 20, Piqué stated that “it is something very complicated”. “When you’re a locker room partner, you share everything. You see him perform in the locker room and you would never think about it. It seems that it is so and you stay in a state of ‘shock’ because you do not expect it. It is a slap with an open hand to everyone, a slap of reality. You think ‘how could that have happened?’ If that is the case and it has happened, I think you have to be very hard. With him and with everyone who does something like that”.

“If it is true that it has happened, you have to be very hard with him and with everyone. I am totally against these people who do not defend ‘yes is yes’ or ‘no is no’, we have to respect each other, ”he considered.

Finally, he assured that, “I would be inflexible and very hard, in case this is the case”, however he added: “I until they tell me that he has done it and that there is evidence… well I think we have to wait. The easiest thing today is to say that he is already guilty and that he is worth it.” “I want to wait. Wait for what the judge says. And if the judge believes that it is one thing or the other, then you have to abide by it and from there, help the victim above all in the process. I think we have to respect each other, men and women. In the end, what we want is to live in a world in which things like this do not happen ”, he declared.

As regards the case, and following the times set by the Spanish courts, the trial would take place at the end of this year, in which the Brazilian would face “a sentence between 4 and 12 years in prison” if he is that the Prosecutor’s Office manages to prove “a crime of sexual assault with penetration of article 179 of the Penal Code.”

In the same interview, the former Barça captain also referred to Lionel Messi and his future: “Only he knows it. He has won the World Cup, which was the great dream he had, and now no one can doubt that he is the best in history. What he decides will be up to him, from where he can find happiness and his competitiveness.

“If he wants to continue competing, Barça may be in his plans, if he wants to stop competing at this level, he might as well go to MLS. It would be very brutal, for everything he has made us feel, for Messi to play for Barça again, ”he acknowledged.

Finally, he was consulted about Shakira’s musical theme with Bizarrap that went around the world in a matter of minutes. First, she admitted to having heard it, but chose not to comment on the lyrics: “I think that people have a responsibility, especially those of us who are parents, to try to protect our children. Each one makes the decisions that he considers. I just want my kids to be okay.”

“I have always had a very close relationship with my children and I like them to participate in things that have a good time. Each one makes the decisions that he considers to be the best, I make the forms in one way and I try to do it in the best possible way. In class you don’t get a lesson on how you can be a better or worse parent. I am fine and wanting to continue doing things, ”she concluded.
