The Spaniard believes most stoppers do not fit the style
of play at Camp Nou and reiterated that Cesc Fabregas wants to stay at the club
Gerard Pique claims it is difficult for Barcelona to buy
central defenders because such players rarely adapt well to the team's style of
play.
The Blaugrana have long been linked with a move for a
number of centre-backs this summer - most notably Paris Saint-Germain star
Thiago Silva - but Pique believes the club's pursuit of reinforcements at the
back is made more difficult by the way they set out on the pitch.
"It's hard to find the right profile [of player]
because our style of play is unique," the 26-year-old told a press
conference in Thailand. "Experience says it's not easy to find a
centre-back for Barca."
Pique went on to insists that team-mate Cesc Fabgregas is
eager to stay at the club, despite continued interest from Manchester United.
"I've always looked very calmly at it. It's normal
to receive offers when you're that good, but he has always told me he wants to
stay and succeed at Barca."
The Spaniard also expressed his admiration for Lionel
Messi, stating his belief that the Argentine continues to set the standard for
the footballing world.
"Every year Messi seems to reach his limit, but he
always ends up exceeding that. He is the best."
