Move along, nothing to see.

In the eye of the storm since the revelation of possible commissions affected for the organization of the Spanish Super Cup, Gerard Pique counter-attacked in an interview with

L'Equipe

.

The Catalan defender brushed aside the accusations against him out of hand.

“I have nothing to hide, everything is legal,” he assures us, declaring that he received “no favors”.

“Rubiales (the president of the federation), he has been a friend since the time when he was president of the players' union.

So the conflict of interest that I am accused of is ultimately the friendship I have with him and wanting to help a friend, he explains.

Not the fact of having brought with Kosmos an opportunity to the Federation with Saudi Arabia.

Which by the way is an incredible operation because the Federation has gone from collecting 120,000 to 40 million euros, part of which will also benefit all of Spanish football and the most modest clubs.

"Because I'm a Barça player, I shouldn't have brought this opportunity and the Federation shouldn't have accepted it?

Ask all the club presidents what they think about it, ”says the founder of the famous company Kosmos, which notably transformed the format of the Davis Cup.

"If I had personally and free of charge helped the Federation to conclude this agreement, without Kosmos receiving anything, then yes, there would be a conflict of interest, because the Federation owes me a favor.

But this is not the case since Kosmos was paid for his services and not by the Federation”, argues the 2010 world champion.
