Gerard Pique holds presser as Barcelona continue pre-season training in England

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Barcelona central defender Gerard Pique (asked how he thinks former Barca coach Louis Van Gaal will get on at Manchester United)

"I think that he will be great. I don't know him a lot as I was very young when he was there as the coach in Barcelona but it's true he had a really good relationship with my grandfather as my grandfather was the vice-president of football at Barcelona and I had the chance to meet him one day in my grandfather's house. I was 12 or 13 years old and he arrived at the house and he knew that I was playing for the Barcelona youth team and he pushed me and I fell down on the floor and he said to me "you are not tough enough to be a centre back" so he is very disciplined like you said but I think he will do brilliantly here."
