One of the most curious parts of the Luis Enrique’s 55-man squad list for the World Cup, before he whittled it down to 26, was Gerard Pique.
The former Barcelona defender had retired from international duty four years before, but the Asturian coach kept him in the list before he called time on his club career.

Speaking to Ibai, as carried by Sport, Luis Enrique revealed that he saw a lot of himself in Pique.
“Gerard Piqué doesn’t get stressed by life compared to the others, he is a great professional, and very competitive.”
“He is very similar to me, a funny, playful guy who looks at life through a different perspective. He puts things into perspective and is very special. I have no complaints about professional Geri as a footballer, he is hyper-competitive, and I would take him to war with me.”
