One way or another, for the first time to be in the football academy, our today's hero has already happened for ten years. Having passed the complex selection, he became a player in one of the younger teams "Barcelona" - "Alevín a".

In that match, Manchester United won a confident victory, without missing a single goal. However, despite this, afterwards Jardi peak appeared on the field not often. In the period from 2004 to 2006, a young defender took part in only ten games of the main team, but despite this, in 2005 he extended a contract with the club until 2009.

In 2006, the decision of the leadership Herade Pica was sent for rent in the Spanish "Saragosu". In this club, he spent a whole season, but he could not prove "Manchester United", his professionality. On the field, it appeared relatively rarely, waking in the season 2007/2008 only thirteen games.

Perhaps today we would not know anything about such a player as Jard Peak, if on one day, the leaders of Barcelona were not published on one day in connection with the representatives of Manchester Unayden. Deciding to return his pupil, the Catalan club agents agreed with the British about all substantial conditions of the transaction and already in 2008 were able to sign a full-fledged contract with the defender. The transfer amount was not disclosed.

New round in the career of the Kerard Peak football player

After returning to Catalonia in the player's career, a new era began. Already in the debutful season 2008/2009, Herard managed to consolidate in the "basis" of his old-new club, and also to win with him a huge set of titles. In the season, "Barca" throat all and all, sowing in one year to win the Championship of Spain, the Cup of the king, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, as well as some other tournaments.


Since then, Herats Piquet has become an important link in the command buildings of the native club. Such a state of affairs is preserved and understood. It is also worth noting that the inspired game in the Catalan club forced to pay attention to the player also the coaches of the Spanish national team.

In 2009, the player made his debut in the "Red Furi". It is very noteworthy that with the arrival of the peak, a new era began in the national team of this southern country. Starting from 2009, this team collects titles one by one. Thus, as part of the main team of their country, the footballer managed to become a champion of peace and Europe, as well as to win bronze and silver awards at the Confederations Cup.

Herade Piquet Currently

Currently, Herats Peak, everything also acts as part of Barcelona and the Spanish national team, together with which a qualifying tournament has been held confidently and won a ticket to the 2014 World Cup.

Herade Peak - Shakira's husband

Since February 2011, our today's hero is a romantic relationship with the famous Columbia singer Shakira. In January 2013, the couple declared the emergence of their common son - Milan. After that, the press began to periodically appear rumors about the allegedly preparing wedding. However, such information has not yet received such information.

In everyday life, Herats Peak is a passionate fan of beautiful cars and poker. Another passion is stylish clothes. Perhaps that is why in 2012 the football player decided to sign a major advertising contract with the Mango brand, which is well known in the CIS countries.

Gerard Peak is a football player who fate took away from his hometown and club, but then allowed to return to him to become one of the best players of modern times. And now the peak protects the colors of his native club, although at an early age he left him and managed to play for two other teams.

But this time the footballer returned to his club to the club and is not going to leave there.

Undervalued talent

Gerard Peak was born in Barcelona in 1987, and he was written in the family to become a football player, since his grandfather was a great and famous president of the local being, at all times, one of the strongest in Spain. And young peak entered the club's football academy, in which he grew up in a young talent. But when the guy was 17 years old, his abilities were noticed abroad - "Manchester United" decided to buy a peak for a little more than 5 million euros. Then the guide "Barcelona" did not know what makes a mistake.

Flowering in Manchester

"Manchester United" was considered even greater terrible force on the European arena, so Gerard Peak was happy to become part of such a club in such an early age. But it was too early to rejoice - naturally, the young football player did not receive a place at the base, nor in the reserve, but was played out exclusively in reserve - because MJ was one of the strongest clubs in Europe, so a 17-year-old boy on the field would look completely inappropriate.

In 2006, when the peak turned 19 years old, the leadership of the Red Devils decided not to marry such a talent in the reserve team, but to send him to gain experience to their homeland, but not in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut to the club smaller, so that he had guaranteed Game practice.

Homecoming

Of course, Gerard Peak did not want to leave Manchester even on rental rights. He knew that this fifty percent of cases means further sale, so he had no desire to leave the club even for a year. But for his football development, it was the best way out, so he spent the next season in Saragoza. There constantly went out in the starting lineup and demonstrated excellent game qualities, but this was not enough to stay in Manchester. Upon completion of the rental period, Gerarian gave another chance to show themselves, but the player seemed to the leadership of the English club clearly unsuitable. However, the Spaniard at this year managed to win the Championship of England, the Super Cup of England and even the Champions League, after which they decided to part. What was the happiness of the peak when he learned that he could return to his native club, because he was not considered unsuitable there. "Barcelona" paid those 5 million, which she listed "Manchester United" 4 years ago and received the right to a young defender.

With confidence it can be said that "Red Devils" is still from the realization that they missed such a magnificent advocate. Now, when they are experiencing a rather impressive crisis, such a player like a peak, they would be very useful. But the fate was different, and in fact, for a symbolic fee, the peak moved back to Barcelona.

Armored Spaniard

From the very first season, from the very return to the native club, Gerard Peak, whose biography accepted a new round, received a place in the starting lineup and did not disappoint. He demonstrated and continues to demonstrate an incredibly reliable and confident game, and its defensive actions become one of the main reasons why "Barcelona" misses so little heads. The peak spends the sixth consecutive season in the Catalan club, and during this time, together with the team, he won an incredible number of trophies: 3 Country Championships, 2 Cup of Spain, 4 Super Cup of Spain, in the international arena he raised over his head of the two champions League Cup and one Super Cup UEFA, and also added two titles of the world club champion to his collection. Thus, we can safely say that Gerard Peak is a football player who found his home, returning from a long journey through other clubs.

And everyone is absolutely sure that he will not go to such a trip again, since "Barcelona" for him is the second family.

Champion everywhere

But the peak managed to achieve excellent results not only as part of the club, but also in the Spanish national team, for which he speaks since 2008. It was in that year that he made his debut in the team, but due to the lack of experience did not go to the European Championship. But together with his national team in 2010 and in 2012, he won the World Championships, and the European Championship, which has become extremely important achievement for him. Moreover, in the compensation for non-participation in Euro 2008, it was taken for 2009, which Spanish team won safely. Total to his 27 years, Gerard Peak has 50 official matches for the Spanish national team, in which he is an indispensable part of the team, however, as in Barcelona. Together with the last fifth anniversary, they indulge the fear of all the attackers, speaking together both in the "Barce" and in the Spanish national team.

Such a player as a peak would be useful to any team, but his heart is now forever a blue-pomegranate.

Star duet

However, the heart of the football player is employed not only football, because he has a favorite woman. And this is an unusual steam, because it consists of two stars - Shakira and Gerard Peak. The son of a couple was born quite recently, in January 2013. The kid got an unusual name - Milan. But at the same time, in the relationship of the star couple there is a special highlight, because they are not married. Since in 2011 Shakira officially announced that it was found with Gerard, the world community froze in anticipation of the wedding. But marriage never followed. Milan's birth seem to have had to push a couple to creating an official family, but so do not consider Shakira and Gerard Peak. The wedding, in their opinion, is optional, and the marriage is rather boring and domestic surprise. Therefore, the couple continues to live a soul in the soul with her little son, in the photos they look incredibly happy, so they have no place to hurry. Especially considering the fact that both Shakira and the peak lead active star life - Shakira constantly gives concerts, and at the peak almost every day of workout, and every week - one, or even two important matches.
