Pique is a player trained by Barcelona youth training system. 1997, officially joined the lowest echelon of Barcelona Club (Alevin B) and set foot on the road of football. From then on, it gradually rose to the echelon of all ages (Alevin A, Inventiaire B, Inventiaire A, Cadet B, Cadet A, Juventus Neil B, Juventus Neil A). Barcelona coach villanova was his first coach. He gradually showed his talent in the low-level leagues of all ages and established his position on the defensive end. Although Pique is a defender, he is also famous for his scoring ability.
In 2004, Pique's contract with Barcelona Club expired. Because the two sides can't reach an agreement on the terms of the contract (Barcelona wants to sign a seven-year long-term contract with Pique, while Pique himself wants to sign a five-year contract-at his age, he is not sure whether he will definitely become a professional player, which requires too much talent, efforts and opportunities), so Pique didn't renew his contract with Barcelona. At this time, both Manchester United and Arsenal extended an olive branch to Pique. After communicating with Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal manager Arsè ne Wenger, Pique finally chose to join Manchester United.
Join Manchester United
In the summer of 2004, Pique, who was born in Barcelona youth training camp, signed a contract with Premier League Manchester United. But because he was only 17 years old at that time, he could not sign a professional contract with the club, so Pique had no salary in the early days of Manchester United. On June 2, 2004, 10, Manchester United played against Kluwe in the Carling Cup, and Pique made his debut as a substitute for O 'Shea.
In February 2005, at the age of 18, Pique signed the first professional player contract with Manchester United until the summer of 2009. In order to get more chances to play, Pique was loaned to Zaragoza in Spain in 2006-07.
Lease Zaragoza
On September 24th, 2006, Pique made his debut in La Liga against Villarreal in Zaragoza. He scored his first goal in La Liga in stoppage time. At first, Pique could only play in the absence of Gabriel Milito and Sergio, two main central defenders, but his excellent performance touched the head coach Victor Fernandez. After Christmas, he began to make Pique the main central defender. This year, he made 22 appearances in La Liga, including 18 starts and scored 2 goals (against Villarreal on September 24, 2006; 2006165438+1October 19 against tarragona), made four appearances in the Spanish king's cup and scored1(against Barcelona on February 28th, 2007). He played well in many positions such as central defender, midfielder and even winger, helping Zaragoza win the sixth place in La Liga and qualify for the UEFA Cup. After the end of the 2006-07 season, Zaragoza offered Manchester United 7 million euros to buy Pique, but Ferguson did not agree.
Back to Manchester United
In 2007-08, Pique played for one season in Zaragoza, Spain. After returning to Manchester United, he had more opportunities to play, including nine Premier League appearances and three Champions League appearances.

Pique won the Champions League with the team that season.
The turning point of Pique's Manchester United career was the Manchester United away game against Bolton on October 24th, 2007/KLOC-0. Pique miscalculated the height in the game, which caused Manchester United to lose the game 0-/kloc-0. After this game, Pique lost Ferguson's trust, and Pique's playing opportunities decreased.

Return to Barcelona

On July 4th, Pique made his official appearance at Camp Nou in Barcelona. On August 13, Pique made his debut in the Nou Camp in Barcelona's Champions League qualifier against Warsaw Krakow, helping the team beat the opponent 4-0.

In the 2009- 10 season, Pique helped Barcelona to defend the La Liga champion and the Spanish Super Cup champion again with his steady play. In 2009- 10 season, Pique's state was even more amazing. As a central defender, Pique saved many times in front of the door, and Barcelona only lost 24 league goals a season, the highest in Europe.
