When Gerard pricks he announced his retirement from football on November 3, 2022, with a moving video in which he endorsed the end of his career in Barcelona to devote himself fully to his duties as a businessman; He did so in the midst of a turbulent time in his personal and professional life. Although his role as the head of the production company Kosmos will continue, the truth is that whatever generated his break with Shakira because of his infidelity with Clara Chia honored him.
In the same way, Pique’s relationship with the Spanish press has suffered from all this environment, in which the opportunity to bring to the table other moments from his past that discredit him has not been lost.
In this sense, the journalist Andrés Martinez, known for his partisanship against Real Madrid, broadcast a video posted on TikTok by another user accompanied by the mention: “Gerard Pique joked and joked in front of the cameras. But it’s his real face…”
The protagonists of the recording that dates from 2019 are Pique and the Dutch midfielder Frankie Young, who was one of Barcelona’s newest signings at the time. As explained by the podcast host White meritocracythe events took place during the inauguration of the Johan Cruyff Stadiumlocated on one side of the Joan Gamper Sports City and where the Barcelona women’s team and some culé team affiliates have played since then.
While the ceremony was taking place, De Jong arrived at the venue accompanied by his partner, the former field hockey player Mikky Kiemeney. De Jong tried to sit next to her in their assigned seats, but Pique made a series of gestures in a clear sign of complaint, as he had to move from his place to make room for the Dutchman’s girlfriend.
Due to the fact that at that time their relationship sucked, there was an exchange of words that ended when De Jong himself gave up on Pique’s stubbornness. From then on, he sat next to him without ceasing to express his surprise and avoiding making a bigger scandal in front of any of the fan idols.
Therefore, De Jong was forced to ask his girlfriend to occupy one of the upper rows set up for the event. The expression of disbelief at what had happened was evident on the faces of the couple.
The communicator took advantage of the situation around Pique to relive this moment. As expected, the reactions were mainly directed at Pique, who was described as ‘arrogant’. There are also those who came to talk about her breakup with the Barranquilla singer: “I understand Shakira more and more.”
However, there were those who came to Pique’s defense at the time, especially since the video that was uploaded to TikTok was edited and focused on the reactions of De Jong and his girlfriend without any clear context. That’s why the @ClaGerFans Twitter account uploaded the full video along with the following text:
“I don’t know why this from 2019 is circulating but looking at the full video it’s more than clear that it was all because of the photos the photographer wanted to take, Frenkie’s girlfriend never wanted the seat of Gerard Pique”
In this recording, the narrative changes significantly, as it focuses on Pique arriving at the scene at the same time as De Jong and his girlfriend. The person who recorded the video explains that they sat next to their teammates, Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto. In the same way, it is possible to appreciate that the reason why Pique did not let De Jong’s girlfriend sit in this seat was because there was a photographer (presumably hired by Barcelona himself). same) to do his job of capturing the four players in the stands of the stadium.
