My full interview with former teammate and Barcelona legend Gerard Pique is here, brought to you by Sky Bet.
We covered plenty, from his early days at Old Trafford to present day, where he is flying just as high in the business world as he has on the field at the Camp Nou.
Gerard also talks about the European Super League and how he felt Pep Guardiola dealt with his Mourinho rivalry.

Gary Neville, really is in a league of his own with these kinds on in-depth interviews
Absolutely!! These interviews are amazing. I still need to watch the one with Tyson Fury.

Class act Pique. One of the great defenders of his generation. How good are these overlap interviews... would love to see a Beckham or Rooney one next. Or outside of football a Ricky Hatton or Roger Federer maybe
beckham and wazza is a shout, i’d love to see a van der saar or vidic interview too
Oi mate either one of those would be brilliant stuff 👍🏽
He's never going to get Federer in a month of Sundays, he's got more chance of getting the Pope.
Rooney’s interview’s gonna be 90 percent ermm
@@jjc1752 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee course
Pique is something else! While still being a player, he has already managed to change the format of Spanish supercup (which has been there for decades), managed to convince the ITF to change the format of Davis Cup (the WC of tennis).. And he's already preparing to become the president of Barca by starting at grassroots level with FC Andorra! He's going to be a very powerful person in the world of football in a few years..
And he's not about the money either. He was one of the first at Barca to accept a pay cut under Xavi to help the clubs financial crisis unlike Dembele.
@@whodouthinkuare his pay was just deferred, he’ll be getting that money eventually
Oh right
He's also massively corrupted
He also told the club to sell messi
He’s so down to earth. You can’t help but like people when they’re like this
to top it off, after training he gets to go home and rail Shakira......heaven
My guy gonna be a powerful man in coming years
Totally agree. And I think that's about interviewing skills. On screen, Gary is very understated as an interviewer - but it's a rare interviewer skill to be able to put interviewees at ease to the extent that they are so open and can just say what they think - and he does it in every interview. Brilliant stuff tbh, and the exact opposite of the dull, media-trained, answers given to match-day interviewers.
he seems very money orientated but ties to hide it though
@@jtaylor8606 it's not just Gary's ability, Gerard has a great personality and intelligence
Pique's english is absolutely superb. Even though he went to Manchester, for someone who's been staying at his home country for a long time now it's sometimes difficult to maintain the same level of fluency!
I’d imagine a lot of the Barcelona players don’t speak Spanish, so they’ll all communicate in english. Nevertheless, his english is superb
@@jakecook4816 Nah I think they definitely communicate in Spanish. Case in point, most of the content from the players on the Barca yt channel is in Spanish.
@@jakecook4816 they mostly speak Spanish and French
pique came from upper class family so good chance hes always been proficient in english
Don't forget that Pique would be travelling around a lot and interacting with different people being that he is together with superstar Shakira and also, English is the world's most universal language so it isn't as difficult to maintain good English when you're a interacting with as many people as Pique is.
Even piqué is having a go at Neville's Valencia tenure 🤣
Phil Neville was better
timestamp?
The Overlap is turning into a GOAT series
Please leave that stupid phrase to the yanks.
fr
It’s funny how Gary laughs when Gerard mentions places like Sale and Bolton. Gary’s probably thinking: ‘World Cup winner, 20+ major trophies, successful businessman, going out with Shakira. How the f*ck does he remember a place like Sale?’
successful people rarely forget where they come from and what got them there
Ayton Bridge that's why he said 20+ 🙄
@@madlad4206 Not true at all. Crazy how you can manipulate your own reality like that.
The way Pique speaks and the way he's already preparing for a post-playing career, the man is priming himself to become the President of Barcelona. It's bound to happen. All the best to him. Great Interview as always. 😊
Piques won it all and been through it all. Truly a living legend. Those who watched him play will never forget!
Bro he may sound like a nice guy on tv but he’s a criminal in terms of making illegal deals with Arab countries and attempting catalunya’s independence through the financing of Vladimir putin himself. So please don’t deceive yourself through what is shown here
@@quickfilmmakingtips2870 you been watching too many conspiracy shows mate. Stick to football
True 💯
I always forget that Pique was a youth at Man United. What a career he’s had. Legend of the game
He won the CL with them! Didn't play a whole lot but did score a couple goals on the way there.
@@nelson_alexander i cant play because was rio vidc
Was at his best at man united
Gary Neville was fantastic here, and hearing Pique talking in depth about these topics made me admire and respect him even more. Congrats!
Love Pique. Those Roy Keane stories are brilliant.
Brilliant! You can just tell what an incredibly intelligent person Pique is and also love how much he stands by his own opinion, not caring what others are expecting of him. No wonder the chap has been such a success both on and off the pitch.
Such a hypocritical chap, eh?
Bro he may sound like a nice guy on tv but he’s a criminal in terms of making illegal deals with Arab countries and attempting catalunya’s independence through the financing of Vladimir putin himself. So please don’t deceive yourself through what is shown here
Cheated on Shakira
I know Gary is a big Manu fan but a candid interview like this with none other than Arsene Wenger would be great! Ex Manu player interviewing a man who managed his rival team for years.
Him being a united fan would have nothing to do it. Pretty sure clean Gary would love to talk to arsene
He interviewed Stevie G.. don't think Arsene is gonna be a problem
Damn, his English is near perfect. He's also obviously an intelligent and therefor interesting man to listen to. He's won it all. Literally, all and is so vocal and open when answering Gary's questions about his way of doing things. Really interesting to see Gnev take the Overlap abroad. Hopefully, we'll get more of these foreign legends to speak their mind on the beautiful game. For me as a Dutchie, Pique was so much more interesting than, let's say, a Declan Rice who's still at the beginning and is not as vocal cause he's still got a career ahead of him. That's not a critique on Rice's part, I just think older players who've won it all can say more and simply know more due to all of their experiences. Of course, Pique is an interesting guest for a British channel because of his connection to Utd and thus the Overlap came to him, however it's still a nice change of pace to hear someone like him, who played for arguably the best club team ever (Pep's Barca) and was a key player when being there, share his thoughts. Loved this. Keep 'em coming!
PS If I may pose a suggestion: CR7 :)
Leaving United was his best decision. Went from 3rd/4th choice CB to an important part of Barcelonas defense along with a champions league on the bounce.
Yep... After leaving Manchester 2009 wins the treble! 2010 wins the world cup! 2011 wins Shakira!!
Yeah he left not cos he wasn't good enough but Ferdinand and Vidic were out of world at the time so it was very difficult to break them up. At least it was a good decision for Pique as he won everything with Barca.
@@manuelrodriguez2637 2015 won a treble also
@@Gazzi79 Kinda weird because I saw absolutely nothing special in Pique when he was at United. Maybe I was too focused on Ferdinand and Vidic as they were unstoppable at the time. Maybe being back in Spain helped him to become more comfortable.
These KZheadrs must be shaking in their boots watching this masterpiece. The Overlap is the absolute BEST football material on KZhead. Whoever came up with this idea, is an absolute genius.
no one is shaking, Gary has a machine behind him
What a top fella, refreshing to see a player of his calibre be so genuine.
this aged well
@@ThaReelDeal the word genuine really sticks out alright 🤣 what he does in his own love life is his own business
@@chro1843 "top fella"
@@ThaReelDeal same as yourself

One of the best defenders of his generation, and a humble guy too. Great interview from a great person. 🤝
He really wasn't

Thank you Gary, for not just a great interview, but giving someone that shows decent against media an opportunity to voice his opinion
Pique is such a sound guy and very humble. Good to see a footballer who as achieved everything as down to earth as him. Top man.
Bro he may sound like a nice guy on tv but he’s a criminal in terms of making illegal deals with Arab countries and attempting catalunya’s independence through the financing of Vladimir putin himself. So please don’t deceive yourself through what is shown here
@@quickfilmmakingtips2870 Madrid fan by any chance?
gerrard pique what a legend
He's not humble,he's easily the most arrogant person in football
The best episode ive seen yet. Gerard Pique what a great personality, he has had such a fantastic career. Definitely go down as one of the top 5 Spanish center backs in history for sure. Sergio Ramos, Carles Puyol, Fernando Hierro, Carlos Marchena are considered to be the greatest of Spanish football history but he is definitely up there with the greats. He was the first of the Captains to put himself forwad for the 50% pay cut. Then Busquets Alba and Sergi Roberto followed right after him. Whereas the debt he is totally right Gary Neville for La Liga and Seria A. The Super League needs another outcome, I think what the best solution to save La Liga and Seria A to compete with the Premier League financially which is so far ahead no other league in the world can catch it, literally have become the NBA NHL MLB NFL of the sport. I believe La Liga and Seria A can continue but they could make a higher tier Med Combined league so promotion of La Liga and Seria A would get you into this joint league. Top 10 or 9 or 11 from La Liga and Seria A become one League. The tv rights will explode if you have teams like Barca Real Madrid Atletico Sevilla Valencia Juve Inter AC Milan Napoli Roma Lazio ect. The competition would be crazy and this would attract big private investors like the PL to come reinstate clubs such as Valencia or Inter Milan ect. It would definitely compete with the Premier League if this materialized and on all levels, football quality, fan base, the history of the teams involved. Champions League winners like Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus.
Try top 5 CBs in the world
@@nomape3586 Marchena was a great center back he made 2 CL Finals with Valencia won La Liga twice with Valencia and he won EURO 2008. Nadal and Sanchis were great but mostly carried by their super star 11. When Marchena left Valencia. Valencia stopped being competitive in La Liga and qualifying for the CL. His tackle rate is one of the highest in Liga history and he could pass the ball out better than most defenders in that decade. He is definitely the most under rated. Ive seen Sanchis and Nadal play they were good but Marchena held his own even better. Migueli, Andoni Goikoetxea and Camcho were better center backs but i was speaking more in terms of modern football so lets say from the millenium and Champions League reform of 1992 for example.
That would mess up the football hierarchy in both countries. If you put the top 10 or 11 teams of both leagues into a single competition, what would happen to the rest of the teams that didn't get picked? Would they go down the football ladder? It doesn't really make much sense. Also, would you also put the top 10 or 11 teams from the bottom leagues into 1 league, how would promotion work in this scenario? Imo, there are way too many loopholes in this new system you proposed. Sure, the commercial and monetary benefits would be amazing, but if this were to actually happen, I don't think it would actually succeed in practice.
@@jericho3294 then suggest another way La Liga and Seria A can compete again financially with the PL there is no other outcome. Netherlands and Belgian are going to do a joint league. And there is talks of a joint scandinavian League Norway Sweden Danish league and also an Alps league with Switzerland and Austria. They are only strengthening their economic and quality. So if they can do it. I believe Spain and Italy can in a similar fashion.
One of the best footballing interviews I’ve ever listened to. Really honest and in depth. He seems like such an honest, well spoken guy who clearly has his head screwed on and he’s a top role model for any young player. Solid work from Gary with his part in the interview as well, I really enjoy these. I’d love to see more foreign players but I’m sure they don’t all speak English as well as Pique. Buffon, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Totti, Casillas, Robben just to name a few
I have to Agree.
Man Pique is an amazing dude so chill and humble. Wish he could have prolonged his United career but with Rio & Vida in front of him I kinda get why he wasn’t going to hang around. What a career he’s had at club and international level and I love he’s invested his time with business off the field too. Won so many honours and all the major trophies! VAMOS 🇪🇸
Whose Vida?
@@SK-ky8dh Nemanja Vidic
@@Rapid270 never heard of him
Best sporting interviews out, brilliant from Neville. He makes people feel at ease
His mates. Yep difficult task
@@DjDugiUK I doubt they've been close ever since Piqué left Manchester
Awful commentator though
Roy Keane mentioned even but one of the greatest of his generation.... That's my Captain.... We'll never see another one like him ever
Pique doesn’t get the credit he deserves for pioneering the “ball playing” centre back in modern football
because its actually guardiolas idea?
Because he didn't.....Rio Ferdinand was hailed for pioneering that in 2001 and I'm assuming the same was said about Nesta and Maldini 10 years before that
You guys are too young xD Franz Beckenbauer did that in the '70s and in the spanish league, when Cruyff was at Barça as a manager, Alexanco used to do that and then, the best one in this regard was Ronald Koeman.
@@hornylorney8150 Nesta was 15 ten years earlier
Anybody ever heard of Beckenbauer ? 🤦🏾♂️a little research before you speak on the internet for EVERYONE else to see
Listening to Pique talk about when he first went to Barcelona, and saying ‘they were not doing well’ might make some people understand how good of a job Pep Guardiola did. He didn’t just inherit a team which was winning everything - they’d just lost all their ‘best players’ and not won anything 2 years prior. Pique puts it perfectly, Guardiola was/is incredible.
Nobody devalues guardiola with atleast 1 braincell. Its just different when you have a bottomless money pit but not prime messi.
I agree he did a great job at Barcelona but Manchester City he's bought everything so I'm sorry i just don't give that much credit for that I hate the way football as become now with money I hate clubs like city psg Chelsea etc
i mean he did inherit Ronaldinho etc. xD
@@r6liam657 sounds like your clubs broke 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@r6liam657 Jesus you must’ve started watching football last week. You can’t buy success. If you could, Man Utd would be winning the league right now. They spent more than city in the past few years. Yet they aren’t even top 3. If you think money can buy success in football then you must not have heard of Real Madrid’s galacticos from the early 2000s, PSG, and yes, Man Utd. You don’t have a clue what you’re on about.
What a down to earth fella. All he has achieved in the game and you can tell his feet are firmly on the ground. His English is brilliant too. Class interview
i believe hes the most succesful footballer in history. the number of titles he's won, had privilege of being managed by SAF and Pep, played with 2 greatest footballers in history and ofc the fact he'd be greeted by SHAKIRA at home! GOD LOVES GERARD PIQUE!
One of most succesful defendera atleast
So you're saying your imaginary man in the sky has favourites now?
And he's got the looks as well. 😅😅
Let’s not forget about his friend Dani Alvez… most coveted footballer of all time.
Either him or Ramos
I be buzzing when I know I’ve got an overlap interview to watch, absolute top quality. They aren’t just interviewing any player, they are picking real high level players which is brilliant.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen kudos Gary Neville😁😁
I’m so happy Pique did one of these, these interviews are so well done
What a likeable bloke. These interviews are sooo good xx
How is Gary delivering world-class interviews so consistently? Just 👏
Gary Neville, player, international captain, spokesperson, activist, club owner, podcaster and pundit. The future mayor of Manchester. I used to really dislike him as a city fan but now he’s the most powerful voice in British football and he’s a voice for good.
Cute
Also has a massive bulge in those jeans. Defo stuffing.
What a great defender. Very reliable, articulate, and humble. A class act. Pique is also fun in the video.
Bro he may sound like a nice guy on tv but he’s a criminal in terms of making illegal deals with Arab countries and attempting catalunya’s independence through the financing of Vladimir putin himself. So please don’t deceive yourself through what is shown here
Probably the best Overlap interview till date. Simply superb & Pique is class 👍🏻
After the Keano one, this was the best one yet 👏. Such a natural conversation that provides great insight as well.
Probably the best one yet. Smart, funny and open to speaking on a number of topics some may shy away from. To see how much he's already achieved is inspiring. Pure class
Another great video, one of the best channels on KZhead at this moment in time like you wouldn’t believe Martin.
Pique complimented puyol perfectly off and on the feild🤝
Such an enjoyable interview. Two footballers with brains and commonsense, Pique has a vision , so wish him all the luck for the future. Keep up the good work GN, there is still hope out there if you continue your vision...
The best one yet !! What a story what a life, what a player and what a man. Very inspirational. Top drawer footballer and from sounds of it a superb bloke. Live ya dream Gerard i like your style..
im confident if Gerard Pique became the president, he gonna take Barca to another level im really waiting for that moment when he become the boss he is a born at Barcelona, he is Katalan, he played at la masia and he played for Barca at their best generation and probably retire at Barcelona put that all beside and look how good he is a Businessman impressing what this man is doing
Of course everyone knows his gonna be future president, even the players know
He comes across so well. For such a glittering career he still seems very genuine and humble
indeed, I Agree.
Absolutely superb. Great watch. Gary asks superb questions and gets the guests to open up. Always loved Pique as a United fan. Great person, great career! 🙌🏼
These interviews are quality, as is Pique, what a man
Another brilliant interview on the Overlap. Two legends! Loved all of this
I had so much fun watching this, brilliant interview ! 💖
Gerard squirming when asked about how good things with Shakira are
AWESOME episode. Loved seeing this side of Pique we wouldn’t normally get to see!
I didn’t have a clue about how active pique is off the pitch. It’s commendable, he’s affecting the world of football and other sports. Fair play to him👏🏽👏🏽
Remember being really excited when we signed him as a young lad. Knew he was destined for great things and was not upset when he left for Barca. He made the right choice for his career. united fan.
The most eloquent of all Gary's interviewees, extremely refreshing stuff. Especially when you get to hear his opinions on the Super League and the media. I'm very impressed. He's quite charismatic too!
Great interview can honestly say one of the best The Overlap episodes I've watched, fantastic entertainment.
Comes across as a great person with an infectious personality. Knows so much about the game with his vast experience. This was an amazing video.
Brilliant, best one so far. Pique seems a brilliant bloke who is destined for greatness after he retires as well! What a career he’s had.
Thank you overlap and Gary for this great interview
Waw!!! I didn't see this one coming Great episode Gary really doing well
Love these interviews, never listened to a Pique interview before now.
Love these already but now got someone who played in a team I looked upto while growing up, quality
Why hasn't this channel hit 1 Mil already.
the best interview so far, Garry thank you
Class interview one of my favourites. Brilliant series!
Another fantastic interview!!!! I hope you understand the quality here! Simply just excellent!
when gary asked "would you ever go into coaching?' pique said ' i saw you and i learned from you ' that was so funny LOL
I couldnt wait for this interview and it was absolutely worth the wait. Pique is a brilliant character and if it wasnt for Rio and Vidic's greatness he would have easily slotted into the first team. He really has a passion for sports administration he is here to stay
Pique really is brilliant at his Sport.
Best interview he has done. Pique striving in different markets and still competing at a top level is incredible. His English is excellent and his approach to life and not caring about being liked is imperative. It is the total opposite of what society has become (like me please videos/tiktok/instagram)
This was the best interview so far & Pique all the best for what you are doing or planing to do.
what a crossover, thoroughly enjoyed this one.
This interview has given me a different perception of Pique. I just love his character.
Loved this interview Gary and Gerard! Mr Pique really is an interesting character. Not only an amazing defender in world football at one of the biggest clubs in the world in Barcelona FC but also an intelligent businessman. As a Manchester United fan who enjoyed watching Gerard play for us! I've only got respect and positive things to say about him. Sir Alex Ferguson was a legend in the management of players and didn't forget that footballers are human beings with family. Thank you for the great memories you have given us all at both Manchester United, Barcelona and Spain ⚽❤️🙂
Fascinating. Great stuff. Well done all those involved 👍🏻
Really enjoyed this up there with the Roy keen interview. Brilliant stuff
what a brilliant interview. loved every minute. gerrard what a guy, proper knowledgable class act
Gerrard played for one team only 😉
Bro he may sound like a nice guy on tv but he’s a criminal in terms of making illegal deals with Arab countries and attempting catalunya’s independence through the financing of Vladimir putin himself. So please don’t deceive yourself through what is shown here
One of the best interviews to date for me this. Really interesting and great to see Gary interview players overseas, yes he was a former team mate, but lets hope he gets to interview some more players from around the world etc. Top quality content. 👏
Overlap shows is getting better. Keep up the good work
Love the honesty in this from Gerard
Comes across as so calm, clever and innovative , would deffo fit right in to a leadership role in so many fields , soon to be FC Barcelona president ! .
Class stuff. What a sensational defender and a great guy!
this could win emmys great series and very good conversations hope to see more overseas 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Gary Neville just WOW, These interviews are amazing
Great piece…..this has inspired me to keep going….Pique has motivated me that I can do more and what I’m doing is still not enough so don’t get too overly emotional when you are working hard
Properly chuckling at the Roy Keane story!
Exceptional interview, it's amazing this is free on KZhead.
Never had much time for Neville , but he does a good job on this one . I've lived in Spain for the last 18 years , I love the Barcelona style , & Pique is a real character , I think that comes across in this interview , he's definitely not the usual thick footballer , he's a very intelligent man , I think he is still a great player & love to watch & listen to him
2009-12's Barca team was the best team of the century
Best club team of all time. That Spanish national team weren't half bad either, lol.
Los Galácticos were, although they didn't win as many trophies.
@@ricardopalma4112 The Madrid team that won 4 champions league in 5 years were something else as well. But in terms of in-game dominance and end-product to go with it, I must say the treble-winning Barca side edges slightly.
I say this and people say I'm crazy because they think city is better but iv always said the city team now if it could play that Barcelona team back in 2011 with messi David villa iniesta xavi etc then city probably wouldn't even get much of the ball that Barcelona team was unreal
Top tier guest that, so well spoken end of season need to be getting these rinsed and recorded
what a interview amazing with a legend of the game one of the best that will go down in history.
two great defenders and just overall great guys and amazing businessmen
An excellent episode, Pique is one of the great defenders of his time and a super smart and insightful guy off the pitch too
Only one min into the vid and already Neville’s Valencia squad is getting dug out lol Gift that keeps on giving
Absolutely class interview. Loving these!
Another great interview by Garry Neville with a great guest on. Amazing stuff
Ist possible to have a part 2? Gosh!!! He's so knowledgeable! Quite mesmerising to listen from him.
He is gonna be a billionaire soon
Amazing series. Gotta love Pique.
I love pique man ,Happy retirement legend ❤️💙
Great interview. Neville brings out the best of his interviewees. Pique is a very impressive man and seemingly a very nice one also. And despite his time in Manchester has very good English. One of the greatest if not the finest central defender of his generation.
