No one spoke until the project began to falter when it became known that the six teams of First league they retreated and the only one who did this was Gerard Piqué.

It’s hard to take the tweet seriously #Picket related to the identity of a sport when its business group, in line with the ITF and after a million-dollar expenditure, ended up with a #Davis cup which created the true spirit of the competition. https://t.co/48yThVeJpt

Piqué ruined the Davis Cup for those of us who are tennis fans, so his current position with the Superliga seems a bit hypocritical to me.
