Gerard Pique Bernabeu

Gerard Piqué Bernabeu is a professional footballer who plays as a center-back for Barcelona and the Spanish national team. During his football career, he became the champion of Spain more than once, he is the world and European champion.

Gerard Pique was born on February 2, 1987 in Barcelona. His father John Piquet worked as a lawyer and had his own business. Mother Moserrat Bernabeu was the rector of the medical university. But the boy did not follow in the footsteps of his parents. His future was predetermined by the famous grandfather Amador Bernabeu - at the time of Gerard's birth he was vice-president of the Barcelona football club. Amador immediately went to the club's office and signed the kid up as a Barça member.

The boy began to show interest in football as early as 1.5 years old, to which his grandfather was incredibly happy. At the age of 10, Gerard was admitted to the main academy of the Catalan superclub "La Masia" - perhaps the best children's football school in the world. Soon he started playing for the Barcelona B youth team.

In 2004, the seventeen-year-old Piquet became interested in Manchester United, and the Spaniard signed his first professional contract with the English club.

Gerard's debut at Manchester took place in October 2004. He was released to replace John O'Shea in the English League Cup match. The young footballer took the position of a central defender. He successfully played for both the main and reserve teams of Manchester United. A good result allowed him to extend his contract with the club until 2009.

In 2006, Spanish club Zaragoza rented Piqué from Manchester for the season. Gerard did not like this, he understood that more often than not such a "rent" ends in resale. And he didn't want to leave Manchester United. But such an experience was simply necessary for a football player.

In Zaragoza, Pique was constantly in the starting lineup and showed excellent playing qualities. However, upon his return to Manchester United, he rarely appeared on the field; he played only 23 matches during the season. In 2008 England decided to sell Gerard to Barcelona for € 5 million.

At the end of the 2008-2009 season, he finally established himself at Barcelona, ​​becoming its leader. From that moment on, a new era began in the career of a football player. And this season was really successful for the club. Barcelona won the Spanish championship, the Champions League and won the King's Cup. Such a winning "triplet" has not yet succeeded in any of the Spanish clubs.

Piquet's high-speed and efficient play attracted the attention of the head coach of the Spanish national team, Vicente del Bosque. Gerard's debut for the national team took place on February 11, 2009. It was a friendly against England in which Spain won.

In the summer of 2009, Gerard, along with the national team, participated in the Confederation Cup in South Africa. In the tournament, the Spanish team took only third place. But in the summer of next year, the FIFA World Cup was also held there. And this time Spain won. In the final, they met with the Netherlands team, the game ended with a score of 1: 0.

In 2012, the national team participated in the European Championship. And the Spanish footballers became champions again. The results were brilliant. For all the games of the Championship, Gerard's team conceded a single goal, and in the decisive game, the team literally defeated the Italian national team, winning them dry - 0: 4.

At the end of Euro 2012, Piquet was included in the symbolic team of the tournament - a team consisting of the best players of the championship who play in the national teams of different countries.

The following year, at the Confederation Cup in Brazil, the Spanish team lost only to the hosts of the tournament, becoming the second. It was in the match with Brazil that Piquet received a red card for a foul against Neymar and was sent off the field in the 68th minute.

At the 2014 World Championships, Gerard only played in the first match of the group stage due to pain in his hip. The national team lost in this game - the Netherlands team beat them with a crushing score of 1: 5.

During his career, Gerard Piqué in Barcelona became the champion of Spain 6 times, 5-time winner of the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup. He is also a 3-time UEFA Super Cup winner. Three times became the winner of the UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup.

In October 2016, Gerard Piquet announced that he planned to leave the national team immediately after the 2018 World Cup.

With his future chosen one - the Latin American singer Shakira - Piquet met on the set of the video "Waka Waka". This song was the official anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The girl attended all the games in Spain, and the paparazzi immediately suspected that there was something between them. But the couple denied everything. The fact is that at that time Shakira was in a relationship with Antonio de la Rua, the son of the former president of Argentina. The singer announced her separation from Antonio on Twitter in January 2011; they lived together for 11 years. And in March of the same year, Shakira and Gerard openly announced their relationship.

In 2013, they had their first child, Milan, and in 2015, another son, Sasha. It is noteworthy that until now the couple has not legalized the relationship. In interviews, they said more than once that marriage for them is a formality. Perhaps this is why rumors about the separation of the couple constantly appear in the media. And initially, some did not believe in their union, because Shakira is 10 years older than Gerard.

But, unfortunately for the spiteful critics, the couple is still together. Their joint photos regularly appear on the footballer's Instagram.

In 2017, Gerard Piqué on the talk show "Pomeriggio 5" said that he proposed to Shakira to become his legal wife, and the woman agreed. He also said that they are already planning a wedding.

Rumors that one day Piquet will become the president of Barcelona have appeared long ago, and even the defender himself periodically supported them. He really does a lot for the team. For example, he was directly involved in the search for a title sponsor. Sometimes he thinks like a typical marketer and not like a football player.

By the way, he was always interested in business. For example, in 2017, he took an intensive course at Harvard Business School in the United States, which cost him $ 10 thousand. He also individually takes lessons from the teachers of the ESADE School of Economics.

So Gerard is not fed up with a single football. Piquet has a stake in a company that makes semi-finished meat products. He also invested in glasses manufacturer Kypers. Together with Carles Puyol, he invested in a company that produces isotonic drinks, intended for a sports audience. They help the body recover from prolonged exertion.

But his long-standing passion is computer and mobile games. Piquet founded the Kerad Games company, and as a result of the work of programmers, the game "Golden Manager" was born. She even has sponsors - Coca-Cola and Nike. But so far the company is unprofitable. The footballer does not lose hope, but even, on the contrary, is sure that soon the playing direction will bring him profit.

In the fall of 2017, Gerard Pique launched his own show, in which he interviews football players. Even announcing a new project, he said that he was going to publish only true stories, as he was tired of the inventions of the official media. He was visited by Neymar, Luis Suarez, Javier Mascherano and Lionel Messi.

Often a footballer appears in advertisements, which is not surprising. The man is in excellent shape - with a height of 194 cm, his weight is 85 kg. Piqué became the face of MANGO and Nike several times.

In February 2018, it became known that the footballer had extended his contract with Barcelona until 2022.

2009 - Bronze medal at the Confederation Cup in South Africa 2010 - The best defender of the Spanish Championship 2010 - Gold medal at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa 2012 - Gold medal at the European Championship 2013 - Silver medal at the Confederation Cup in Brazil
