Pique: Barcelona players can't influence Guardiola contract decision

Wed, 02/22/2012

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique believes the players won't be a factor in whether Pep Guardiola signs his new contract.

Speculation is increasing across Europe over Guardiola's contract stand-off.

"I don't think it depends on us," said Pique.

"The manager has always said he is proud of our performances and how we behave on the pitch. I think his biggest doubts are related to his family and his personal life. He has to dedicate 24 hours a day to football, and that's too much sometimes. We are doing all we can for him to renew. All the players have stated what we want and we are doing all we can on the pitch to show how much we would like him to stay with us. But it's his decision, and we have to respect it".
