Barcelona coach Luis Enrique upset with defeatist Pique comments

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique was unhappy with comments from Gerard Pique after their draw at Real Sociedad.

Pique claimed the LaLiga could already be lost if things don't quickly improve.

“I think it's dangerous to say things in the heat of the moment because not everything will be right," said Enrique.

"You can't say that after the 13th game of the season. It's the correct attitude, though, to think that there are many things to improve."

On the game, he added: “They've not allowed us to string five passes together, they pressed us as and when they wanted, they won all the battles and you have to say that to be goalless at halftime was a miracle.

“In the second half we improved a little, but not enough. We got back into the game through an isolated moment between [Lionel] Messi and Neymar, but there was little else."
