Piqué spoke out and said he supported Catalonia's right to decide its own destiny. But even so, he said the last thing he would do is resign from the national team, and you're not aware of how long the fans booed him every time he stepped onto the pitch.

But saying something is different from abandoning the national team. It's one thing to say you disagree with certain things the central government does that affect Catalonia, and another to resign from the national team and therefore renounce being "Spanish." The former brings criticism, but it wouldn't be a total separation like the latter would be. Besides, being criticized for not speaking out is a thousand times better.

It's not possible if he's already played in an international tournament, or plays for Spain, or doesn't play at all.

It wouldn't be impossible; he's already played more than one qualifying match with Spain. If he resigns from the national team, he'll miss out on playing in European Championships and World Cups.

I'm telling you it's a bad idea because if he does it, it would be almost impossible for him to play for Spain again without the press and the fans crucifying him. It's a very, very delicate issue; you'd make 80% of the country hate him. He could play and, when he scores, wear a shirt that addresses the issue or something like that, but being a Catalan separatist would only make his own country hate him.

You're already trying to move him from Espanyol to Barça and now you're suggesting United after that? What you really want is for him to never shake off the Judas label.
