An unexpected revelation made the Gerard Pique In an interview with the well -known streamer Plex, answering the question for the player who “humbled” him more in his career. The former Barcelona defender remembered a 2011-2012 season at El Sandar against Osasuna, where his team lost 3-2.
“The word ” humiliation ” is heavy … but that day, there was a very tall striker, I think Croatian, who made us up and down“, Pique said, describing the difficult conditions of the race:”In Pamplona it was terrible cold, there was no heating under the grass, it was like cement. They were wearing lounge shoes with multitacos, we went out with our classics. By warming I felt that I could neither start nor stop”
Pique did not remember the name of the striker, but stressed that “Nor could Puyol stop him, scored two goals and we made him international. That day was as if he had got a golden ball”
The “forgotten” footballer who made the difference was the Serbian Dejan Lekicwho competed in Osasuna from 2010 to 2012. In Spain he also wore the shirts of Sporting Gijon, Mallorca, Reus, Eibar, Cadith, Atletico Ballers and Las Rothas. International with Serbia 10 times, Lekic has also passed through the Red Star, Atletico Calcutta and other teams in his home country.
