Defender of Barcelona Gerard Pique changed his mind to leave the national team of Spain.

The words of Gerard Piquet that he is ready to give up performances for the Spanish national team, which he said after the independence referendum held by Catalonia on October 1, further aggravated his relations with the fans of the "Furies of the Rochi". To arrange all the points above the "i", Piquet gave a special press conference.

"It was not easy to hear the whistle and insults addressed to the fans from after arriving at the location of the national team," admitted Pique. - I can not explain my point of view to every resident of the country, so I appeal to everyone at once.

Each person may have his own opinion, but I believe that any opinion should be treated with respect ".

"I always proudly represented Spain, and no one can blame me, that I did not give my best in team matches. This is known to the coach and all my teammates, so I feel full support on their part. I'm proud to play for this team. This is my family, and therefore I am here ".

Because of the fans' insults against Pique, the first training of the national team was interrupted prematurely.
