"I admire Cristiano Ronaldo"

I admire Cristiano Ronaldo
Gerard Piqué has analysed the historic rivalry that exists between Spain's two biggest clubs in an interview given to European Sports Media, of which MARCA is a member.
"We are turning around the situation with Real Madrid"
Barcelona has always been behind Real Madrid, but in the last 10 or 15 years we have turned the situation around. We are talking about a Real Madrid that has dominated football for 90 years and that has always been ahead of us.
"We are competing with the richest club in the world"
We have brought through a great crop of youngsters at the club and this has helped us to compete. Real Madrid was one year without winning a title and it spends €160 million on three players: Illarramendi, Isco and Bale. Barcelona can sign Neymar for €60 or €70 million but not three players. The day we do not have La Masia, things won't be the same.
"Cristiano is a hard worker that always wants more"
He has not changed; he is a player that I have always admired because he is a hard worker that always wants more and more. He is a real machine and very ambitious. He never ever stops trying to improve. Some say he is the best but he still wants to get better, and for that reason I admire him.
"Pep is the best coach I have ever had"
He analyses opponents better than anyone else, he can spend up to 24 hours a day watching videos and then he gets you on a Friday before a match and says: "Look, this forward line plays like this, or that, or the other... we have to move the defence to the right or the left, and then we can attack them this way ". And he is the best at doing that.
