The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that Chavi seems to be "serious" about discipline, as just a few days after taking on his new position, Chavi decided to prevent Gerard Piqué from appearing on a popular television program scheduled for next week. The newspaper explained that Chavi canceled Piqué's appearance on "El Hormiguero," a well-known show for its humorous approach, where guests participate in various games and challenges. Piqué is a close friend and former teammate of Chavi at the Catalan team. However, Chavi emphasized during his talk with journalists on Monday that he would be "strict with his former teammates... and the same will apply to his new teammates." It is known that the Barcelona defender frequently appears on television programs, having participated in "El Hormiguero" in October 2019.
