[ONLY FC BARCELONA FANS] Pique: Balotelli can win you a match and Pirlo a tournament

 

Gerard Pique has stated that Italy have the quality to cause Spain all sorts of problems in Sunday's Euro 2012 group match.

La Roja begin the defence of their European crown against the 2006 World Cup champions, who head into this game on the back of a shock 3-0 friendly defeat against Russia.

Pique agreed with the notion that Spain are favorites for the match, but warned his team against underestimating Cesare Prandelli's men.

"The thing about being favorites is usually not a good thing, but I like it," he told reporters. "If they look at us as favorites, then it is because we have the team to beat them. We have a very strong team and I prefer to head into a game as favorite. Pressure does not bother me.

"Players like Mario Balotelli can make you win a match, and players like Andrea Pirlo can make you win a tournament. Pirlo is a great player who is capable of controlling any match."

The Barcelona defender then dismissed reports that he had developed a fractious relationship with Real Madrid stopper Sergio Ramos as a result of tense relationship between the two clubs in recent times.

"There is a very good rapport between us," Pique explained. "People who are on the outside sometimes exaggerate things. Of course that it seemed that the tension between Real Madrid and Barcelona had grown and that we did not see eye-to-eye, but that is not what happened."
