After the Colombian singer alluded to the Japanese brand in the song she dedicated to him, the former Barcelona player counterattacks by announcing a singular agreement.
“You swapped a Ferrari for a Twingo, you swapped a Rolex for a Casio” . The line of the song in which Shakira talks about her breakup with Gerard Pique is the one that has generated the most reactions. In fact, the two watch brands have become the most discussed topics of the moment on social networks and the Japanese, which has appeared in a position of clear inferiority compared to the Swiss, which due to its value is generally at the reach of a few. Naturally, there were those who highlighted the qualities of the Japanese brand, mainly its price and even its versatility . So even the iconic models that included features were revealed like calculators and games . A feat for a time when digital was taking its first steps. And, even more, to reach the user at a lower cost.
In any case, if anyone was to feel offended, it was Pique. And the former Barcelona and Spain defender, apparently, didn’t care. He even saw it as a business opportunity, especially now that Kosmos, the production company he runs, broke the contract he had with the International Tennis Federation for the organization of the Davis Cup an equally controversial adventure, due to the change in format it required.
Either way, apparently Pique will also charge his ex-wife’s successful account. The ex-footballer has announced that he will start a relationship with Casio.
The announcement
The King’s League Twitch channel was the medium Pique chose to make the announcement. It is the perfect platform, given that it is followed by millions of users all over the planet. By the way, I was not alone, because in the session there were other titans of the genre like gerard romero (Jijanes FC), spursito (Eclair de Barcelona) and Plains of Ibai (CF pigs).
The jokes continued until announcement time. Pique appeared with a Casio watch on his wrist, then dropped the bombshell: the aforementioned announcement. “This watch is for everyone” said.
Then he went further. “Casio gave us watches. We have an agreement with Casio, lThe King’s League has reached an agreement with Casio “, announced Pique under the laughter of his scene partners. Many thought it was a joke. It was not.
Even Sergio Agüero, who also took part in the session, laughed it off. The icing on the cake was put on by Iker Casillas, the Real Madrid goalkeeper at the height of the rivalry with Barcelona, which included Pique. “I want it with a calculator,” asked the former goalkeeper when distributing a cult object again.
