Aside from being tall, beautiful, and a wonderful player, apparently Gerard Pique is quite the practical joker. At least, that's what Henry says. We quote: Gerard Piqué is a pain in the neck. He always gets me with the practical jokes. He's funny with it, it’s cool, really, but he’s still a pain in the neck. This is the first we've heard about Gerard being the clown on Barca. And Titi didn't just say jokes. He said practical jokes, and what forms these pranks may be taking is really making our imagination run away with us... and that's not all. Gerard replys to Thierry's statement in a recent interview with the Catalan newspaper, Sport: Regarding Henry, we'll see each other in the dressing-room, but I can tell you that this kind of treason by a companion doesn't feel good (laughs). I will pay him back (more laughs). Ah, to be part of the dressing room shenanigans of Pique and the boys!
On a side note: Pique also talked a bit about fellow defender Puyol in the aforementioned interview: Puyol is the greatest. It feels comfortable to play alongside him, but you have to listen to his yellings all the time. He's screaming the whole game; You cannot, for a second, lose track of what is going on. That's impossible because I always have to listen to the same song from behind: "Geri, Geri, Geri!!!!" And I turn to reply: "What happened?" And he says: "Nothing, just be attentive". The other day, winning 5-0 at Depor and going off the boil for the final five minutes, he still started a fight.
... apparently Gerard isn't the only pain in the neck on the team. But we still think it's cute to see Puyol get worked up, maybe even as adorable as his calling Gerard by the nickname Geri!!
