Gerard Pique is a classy defender and a very good player. He does not let in many goals and is very good with his feet. He goes in for headers and is very fast. The way he impacts the Barcelona team is by holding his line with Puylo and getting it to the midfielders or the forwards. Or if he gets a pass back from them he can keep possession or even get it back to them. This is why he is good in the Tika Tata system.
