SERGIO RAMOS HIT back at outspoken Spain team-mate Gerard Pique after the Barcelona defender criticised the values of bitter rivals Real Madrid.
Ramos and Pique have frequently clashed publicly and that was the case again on Tuesday, despite being in camp together following Spain’s 2-0 international friendly win over France.
Pique — a vocal critic of the Spanish capital side — slammed the La Liga leaders for what they transmit as a club and Madrid captain Ramos did not hesitate in his response.
“What Pique says won’t change the values, our badge, our history or our titles,” Ramos said. ”What he says will provoke headlines and sell newspapers but we live off of that.
“In every box seat strings are pulled, but if anything, they [Barcelona] should in general have more to be quiet than we do.”
Ramos added: “This is part of Pique’s persona. We are not going to change him at 30. We have to enjoy him as footballer because he is one piece of a player. We have to tell him to wear white more often, it fits him very well.”
Pique did not hold back post-match in Paris, telling reporters: “I don’t like the values Real Madrid transmit, although there are players there I really appreciate and am friends with.
“I don’t doubt Raul’s Madridismo and I’d never work at Real Madrid. What I don’t like about Real Madrid is how those in the box seats pull the strings.
“I don’t like what they transmit, as a club. What do you want me to tell you? Almost all of them are friends and I can play cards with them but we know how this works.”
Two multi-millionaires from sickeningly wealthy clubs disagree over values but can still play cards together. Good to know.
Pique plays for Barcelona, a club which has the values of diving, cheating, waving imaginary cards, crying and whingeing when they lose as the foundation of their club philosophy. Louis Suarez plays for Barcelona ffs.
Pique should shut up and stop making an idiot of himself.
@Tommy: although i agree with every word you siad. Real Madrid are equally as bad at everything you mentioned above
@Lorcán Coyle: i don’t know. The 2 champions leagues that United got literally embarrassed in by Barcelona was just down to quality. Dont remember any diving or card waving. Just remember the gulf in class.I think it left a bitter taste. Sour grapes maybe.
@Tommy: Suarez is no more a diver then Ronaldo. Even Sir purple nose couldn’t stop him and look at the prima Donna now. Embarrassment.
@Tá mé muc uafásach: ya I remember when Ronaldo took a bite out of a player and racially abused another. Suarez is a angel.
@Paul Mcgovern: And then if you think a little bit more you could remember the prima Donna buying his own child and paying the Mother never to contact the child because he only wants Cristiano 1 and Cristiano 2. Suarez may be hannibal lectre pm the pitch but has his morals right when it comes to family. Unlike the prima donna.
@Tá mé muc uafásach: Mate could you not get a life. Seriously I’m embarrassed for you.
@Lorcán Coyle: Truth hurts sorry my opinion. Save your embarrassment for yourself and your delusions.
Who cares? All I know is that if I had to choose one of them to run across no-man’s land with, it would be Ramos rather than Shakira’s manwife.
Piotrek I woukd let them both run across with you and I’ll mind Shakira
Did he say it in a fit of Pique?
