The Barça center-back showed his dissatisfaction with the configuration of the recent FC Barcelona calendar, both for commitments already held and for those to come. However, the newspaper library has not played in its favor on this occasion.
Gerard Piqué has complained about a section that has been bringing a queue for years and that, not because he has previously downplayed it himself, is no longer right. The clubs that aspire to win in all competitions and that also have several players with international commitments end up suffering injuries or being forced to give their players rest to prevent them. His complaint came in the following words:
If here it is more right than a saint is said and nothing happens !!!

“I do not understand how they put a calendar like the one they put us, in which we play on a Tuesday, we have the whole weekend to play and they put us to play on a Monday, to play today Thursday, to have to play on Sunday at four in the afternoon, to play again on a Wednesday at afternoon and a Saturday with him Atlético de Madrid. You can put the game quietly on Saturday or Sunday and they put us to play on Monday.
This is what I don’t really understand I don’t know who makes the calendars. It seems a criticism but it is a reflection, how can it be that, gambling what we play each game, today half an hour with one less and with a hell of a lot of wear, we play again on Sunday at four o’clock? And this is because on the weekend, after playing on a Tuesday against him Bayern… Why are they putting us to play on Monday? Put it on Saturday on Sunday, then you can play on Wednesday, and then you have more time to rest.

Such was the anger at the accumulation of matches that the action where referee Carlos Del Cerro Grande decided to expel Frenkie De Jong for a double yellow took a backseat:
“The referee thing is a quick play, it can happen that he makes a mistake, but this? Can’t the people who watch the calendar look at this? Now we have five games with two days off, I don’t get it “.
Piqué came out yesterday to complain about the calendar.
I hammered when Madrid complains?
“There is always some kind of complaint, the calendar I understand is what it is”
“The players, at the level we are at, are used to playing matches two, three days apart”

The recrimination of Gerard Piqué makes all the sense in the world, although the newspaper library betrays him when it was Real Madrid players who arrived with one less day of rest to a Classic in November 2019:
“They will have more rest for the next game. There is always some kind of complaint. The calendar I understand is what it is. Players, at the level we are at, are used to playing matches two or three days apart, game after game “.
So, is Gerard Piqué right to complain about the calendar? The answer is obvious: yes. But it has a nuance, which is to understand that other footballers and clubs can do it too. And in his case it is necessary for him to live with self-criticism of the team, which is eighth in LaLiga with 9 points out of 15 possible, although with one game less.
