Pep was asked after the AC Milan game why he didn't start Piqué. He was quoted to say that he doesn't have to justify his selection all the time. Sometimes later, he added ' I just wanted all the pacey players at the back' eco smile

It means indirectly -> Piqué is slow eco smile

pique is much faster than puyol thats for sure

maybe he just meant that pique wouldnt be able to keep up with the pace since he has just returned back from injury

Pep was not humble and respectful in a press conference?

What's next? Mou becoming humble and respectful? Laughing

Anyways, Puyol is slower. Don't know what he is talking about.

I remember Pique keeping up with Ronaldo in a few Clasicos, so he's not exactly a turtle

I think he has quick bursts of speed to match quite a few of the faster players out here. Plus, he knows how to position himself in order to keep up. What's the term, right, deceptively quick. One of my favourite defenders out now really...

Yes he is slow. I mean, look at his build ffs. Still a great defender though. Not the most consistent, but always shows up in the big matches.

Thiago Silva would fit in like a glove.

Puyol isn't exactly that fast though and it seems to be working. Very Happy

Puyol is still fast tbh, and until his injuries he was very fast......

Not many ppl have made Puyol look stupid other than maybe Aguero Very Happy

And yes Silva would.

Puyol has too much quality to flop anyway. Very Happy

Hummels positional sense and quality on the ball would mean he would depend less on speed. Might not be a match made in heaven, but I actually think it could work.

This must be a joke ... Who is Ronaldo? He's slower than Salgado ffs. Ballesteros > Cristiano.

Jose will play Callejon and Di Maria against Refcelona. They'll run them ragged. :bow:

Pique at the end of the match:

he probably didn't say that, who would when you have puyol playing right back, Pique is only what 24? so for his age your not going to find many faster center backs anyway
