Jakarta –
Gerard Pique provide support to Samuel umtiti considered undesirable in Barcelona. That’s what the senior Blaugrana defender said!
Samuel Umtiti on sale list Barcelona in summer. The French defender became one of the players who really wanted to be released in order to reduce Barcelona’s salary burden.
The 27-year-old in the end did not want to leave and still insisted on playing for Barcelona. On the other hand, Umtiti has had little chance under coach Ronald Koeman and the decision to stay has been upsetting for Barca fans.
Umtiti was included in the Barcelona line-up against Getafe at the end of August. He just sat on the bench and then got ridicule from the fans in the stands.
“Umtiti fulfills the contract with all the obligations. People have to empathize. His attitude is perfect. He never misses a training session. Who really signed the contract? A president elected by the members,” Pique said in a televised program quoted by Marca.
Pique insists that will do something like Umtiti if you are in another club. Therefore, the 34-year-old defender hopes that all parties empathize with Umtiti.
“Why should we whistle to him? There are a lot of people who have been in this company for 30 years and have done nothing. If I were at another club, for example (Manchester) United, I would have done the same as Umtiti. Every situation is different. I’m just asking people to empathize,” Pique asserted.
