Defender of Barcelona Gerard Pique is pleased with the opportunity to protect the colors of the Spanish national team.

The other day Piquet marked another loud message on Twitter, in which the player supported the independence of Catalonia, which did not like the captain of the Spanish team Sergio Ramos.

Despite his position, Gerard was summoned to the Spanish national team.

"I'm glad that they called me," Pique said..

"Let's see if we will be able to get the victory in the first of the remaining matches and qualify for the World Cup 2018".

"To play for the national team is always a great pride for me. I'm motivated and do not feel any pressure. In addition, a challenge to the national team means that I'm good at the field ".

The referendum on the independence of Catalonia, which the Spanish authorities consider illegal, will be held on October 1.
