Everything Gerard Pique will not be able to do from now on...
The Barcelona defender likes to tackle life full on but he may have to hold back a bit
Xavi Hernandez’s arrival as Barcelona coach has helped fans recover some hope. He has promised to bring back the Barcelona style and he is already setting rules for the players’ behaviour.
Per Cadena Cope, Gerard Pique is one player who is being affected by them, already cancelling an appearance on TV show El Hormiguero next week.
Pique and his team-mates will have to limit ‘extra-curricular’ activities, with are not prohibited but must be controlled. In Pique’s case, he’s an entrepreneur with his fingers in many pies, including the Davis Cup.
He also has been known to surf, an activity that might be seen as an injury risk.
Players must not arrive at Camp Nou on bicycle, skateboard etc, something else Pique has done before.

With players nighttime activity under scrutiny, they must agree with the coach appearances on various media platforms. Pique habitually joins Ibai Llanos on Twitch, among other things.
In 2011 Pique was spotted firing an AK47 at a range and that is the sort of thing that will be prohibited too…
