Gerard Pique has dismissed reports that Spain players were partying before they were robbed in Recife last week.
Six players had money and possessions taken from their room in the aftermath of la Roja's
2-1 Confederations Cup win over Uruguay on June 16 and officials of the
Golden Tulip Hotel consequently opened an investigation into the
matter.
Globoesporte claimed on Monday that the quest
had revealed that the reigning European and world champions were
partying and playing strip poker with a group of women before the
robbery, but Pique has stressed there's no truth in this suggestion.
"These
are all lies. They are trying to complicate other people's lives. The
football federation will take up this matter," Pique told Cadena Cope.
"This
is all a very unpleasant and unwelcome experience. This situation will
be resolved, though. Lies are always exposed at some point."
Spain
are currently preparing for the semi-final match against Italy on
Thursday, with the winner to face either Brazil or Uruguay in the
tournament's finale.
