Gerard Pique has admitted that having Xavi Hernandez, his friend and former teammate, as Barcelona head coach is an added incentive for him to perform well.
The 34-year-old has started all three of Xavi‘s first matches in charge, with the Blaugrana recording two wins and a draw.
“It puts added pressure on me to have Xavi as a coach, you don’t want to let him down,” Pique said whilst on the Spanish TV show ‘El Hormiguero’.
“Morally I have to give him my best and if my performance is not the best I feel like I’m failing him.”
