Barcelona's legend Carles Puyol attended the Laureus awards ceremony and answered the questions of the Spanish media.
What do you think of Barca?
They make a great season. I am happy with how things are going. There is a group of fantastic players, and the coach knows the club's philosophy and adapts very well.
Are you happy with Piquette's re-writing?
I was not worried about it. Gerard is where he wants to be, and he's happy about it. He has already said that if he does not continue playing in Barcelona, he will give up football and have something to do. I hope he does not give up because it's a pleasure to watch him play.
Do not you sometimes tell him that he gets involved in many scandals?
This is Gerard. Sometimes someone else's opinion must be respected, and he does it with everyone. He has the right to express himself as he wants, as long as he respects others.
Would anyone with a weaker character have already given up the national team?
He said he likes to argue. It is not fair what he has to experience, but he is capable of carrying it in a perfect way. He focuses on the game and is ready.
But he likes to provoke him, does not he?
Everyone has their own character and I like Gerard. He says what he thinks and is not easy to tolerate what he has to bear. We just focus on what Pique says. What about what others say to him? Does that make no difference?
What do you think about the big spending of Barcelona lately?
It's madness, but the market so dictates. It can not be controlled, and it makes you care more. Not only Barcelona but the rest of the teams.
What is your opinion of Yumtiti?
Last season he did very well. He is now among the best central defenders. He has done great. He is the leader and is among the best in the world.
