To begin to debate who the best central of the world is can turn into a good conversation topic, but I am afraid that each one will keep on thinking the same at the end of the debate, since these things of “The best of the world” are something very subjective. Hardly one might convince other and the chat would end up by turning an exchange of pareceres in which everyone would enumerate the virtues of his preferred one without giving his arm to turn.

We always have the numbers and the statistics to put them in the scales, but to remain only with them it is as if in a table only we see four vertical paws and a horizontal table. To measure the worth of a soccer player in a team it is necessary to bear in mind if his personal style fits in the philosophy of the club. This way, the clubs in which the quarry works end up by being created by players whose style agrees with his philosophy; serve two examples: Athletic Club has always produced in Lezama character players and with taste and tendency for the direct soccer while the quarry of the Seville (directed by Pablo Blanco, whose work should be so valued like the good Monchi eye) it has extracted a good number of players of band who emphasize for his quality, like Kings, Branches, Plain mountains, Capel…
One of the reasons for which Cannavaro could never be a head office adapted for Real Madrid is that it was formed to play very close to his area, so somehow it was possible to hope that in the Bernabéu he should suffer to cover the space that was staying to his back. The same we might say of the players’ cases that they did not triumph up to going out of Italy, as Laudrup, Henry, Roberto Carlos… It is clear that there are always exceptions, because: who would not like in his team, plays the style that plays, to Casillas or Iniesta? I exhibit all this to reason the affirmation of the holder: G erard Piqué is the head office perfectly for the style blaugrana.

With seventeen years it left branch blaugrana to record for the Manchester, with which it made debut in the Premier in the year 2006. In the following course he went away transferred to the Saragossa, playing 22 parties forming couple with Gabriel Milito. There returned to the United one more period (where it gained the Premier and the Champions) and in 2008 it returned to the Barca as an express request of Pep Guardiola. It was a signing that woke up certain debate before the doubts about his verdader level, but after the first ten league days it was done by the holder’s position in the center of the defense. For many people it was the best central of the year, turning into a key piece of six gained qualifications, what it has taken him to the Spanish Selection.

It has been revealed like a spectacular defender of the one that I will try to enumerate and comment on most of his virtues. It is a rear very rapid one, surely not so fast as Pepe or Puyol, but yes the sufficient thing as not to suffer almost with any forward and to be able to go to the cut with the authority that gives to come the second way earlier. It is very good in the game for high place (it measures 1,92), something that possibly it improved very much in his years in England, and we have seen it measuring himself successfully to types of Drogba’s size. His aptitude to extract the played ball from behind is outstanding, being able to do so much a change of fifty meters diagonal sense as start forward with the controlled ball. In fact, this quality allowed to Money box to develop a system to extract the completely novel ball from the rear: the central two in the corners of the area, the wings moved forward to block to another team and the defensive pivot giving gone out by the way more or less close to the area.

The native of Barcelona plays very concentrated and with many intensity, something that has to do with the character of one himself and that is very difficult to acquire if it is not had. Also, it has leader wood and after Puyol and Xavi, Piqué will be the best option to turn into a good captain and although Iniesta or Messi show the bracelet, Gerard will be the real marshall of the team. His height, his offensive tendency and this character about which I have just spoken have led it to being discovered like a defender with very much goal. In the memory the sixth one is so much to Madrid in the historical one 2-6 (whose celebration heads this post) or his intervention key in the last onrush to join the final of the World cup of Clubs in the last sigh, or his four goals in nine parties with the Selection; a little of valuing for a team with pitching good few ones a few years ago (now Ibrahimovic is fearsome, with the people like Keita, Touré, Puyol, Márquez, the proper Piqué…) and for a selection that has to play qualifying championships where a move to idle ball can mark the difference.

Generally it has a correct laying although perhaps in this aspect it is in the one that more it must improve, without stopping bearing in mind that is a twenty-two-year-old lad and that the position is something that needs many parties; the speed or the height are had, the laying is learned. So, finally, it is possible that there are head offices better that I Stung in certain aspects, but I dare to say that it is the most promising of all. It is not 10 in anything (there are any more rapids better by high place, with better laying, with any more capacity of control …) but it is a notable one or an understudy in everything, and I repeat something that is important to bear in mind, his age, because better head offices of the world, like Puyol, Ferdinand or Terry go on from the about thirty, while Pepe is on the point of fulfilling twenty-seven years, therefore none of them is provided with the margin of progress of the native of Barcelona.

The adjective that perhaps better defines Gerard Piqué as head office is ‘modern’, because it possesses everything necessary to be a success head office in the soccer of current elite. If to this we add to him that it plays in his team of the whole life, which style is according to the philosophy that sucked from child, and that is lucky to have a technician who not only offers him the possibility of developing his skills but it promotes them across the confidence and the demand, it seems that, in the end, it would not turn out to be so crazy to consider Three of the Barca to be the best central of the world.
