Gerard Piqué recently visited Mexico; However, during his trip, he had a truly uncomfortable moment with the Mexican press. It all started when the former soccer player went to eat at a luxurious restaurant in Mexico City and upon leaving, in a somewhat rude manner, he refused to speak to the media. The annoyance of the press was obvious and did not wait long, however, the media continued to insist on obtaining a statement from the athlete.
But, apparently, Piqué was more afraid of having to answer a question about Shakira, so without even looking he decided to walk past the cameras and microphones to get into his vehicle and get out of there. And everything would have stayed there if it weren’t for the fact that in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, a reporter, who didn’t want to stay silent and angry, lashed out at Shaki’s ex.
‘That’s why they hate you, for everything you did to Shakira and now you behave like this with the press,’ was the direct phrase that the fearless communicator shouted at the Spaniard. Although other reporters tried to smooth things over, assuring them that they wanted him in Mexico, the former Barcelona player preferred to remain silent and close the door of his truck and leave.
Why did Piqué visit Mexico?
It is speculated that Gerard Piqué visited Mexico to coordinate the final details of the launch of the Kings League in America, a project that the footballer began after his departure from professional football. This is a 7-a-side soccer league based in Barcelona, Spain that completely changes the rules of the sport to make it a more striking spectacle, in which influencers and other great soccer stars who have retired collaborate. It is known that Mexico could be one of the first to receive the Kings League in 2024.
