Xavi cancels Gerard Piqué’s next TV appearance

Xavi has brought back new disciplinary measures, which will prevent several players from doing things they’d grown accustomed to. And it starts with canceling Gerard Piqué’s forthcoming TV appearance on the light-hearted interview show, El Hormiguero.

The defender had already appeared on the humorous show in 2019, but he won’t be able to appear again as Xavi wants the team to get serious.

Piqué is a personal friend and former teammate of the new manager, but Xavi is not letting it affect his decisions. He is answering skeptics who thought he would go easy on his former teammates when taking the reigns of FC Barcelona.
