Pique wants whistling situation resolved

Gerard Pique is tired of being jeered by Spain supporters and the embattled centre-back wants the situation resolved.

Pique has been targeted by boo boys in recent months and it was no different during Spain's 4-0 rout of Luxembourg in Euro 2016 qualifying on Friday.

The 28-year-old was jeered and whistled at by Spanish fans in Logrono as Vicente del Bosque's men sealed their spot at next year's showpiece tournament.

"You have to ask the public; I only like talking about what I do out on the pitch," he was quoted as saying by AS.

"I'd like to resolve this situation with the whistling, of course I do but that depends on the fans. I am going to give all I've got to do my job.

"I thought I put in a good game, the result puts us on our way to France and now we want to do a good job at the Euros."

Pique added: "I seem to have explained myself a thousand times on this...no one should be in any doubt about me and my commitment; I’ve been with the national side since I was 16.

"People can take a look through the archives and see everything I have said in the press since I was a kid. You won’t find anything bad, or comments I've made against the national team or this country for people to get upset about."
