SOUNDBITE: (English) Gerard Pique, Spain(On Luca Modric):
"No I didn't talk to him. A draw would be good for us because we will qualify first. I don't know if it will be good for them (Croatia) because I think they are expecting to win and to also qualify first. I have a very good relationship with him and I think that they are a great team. I don't know if Modric is playing tomorrow because he is obviously a great player and I expect a really difficult game tomorrow. I didn't talk to him these days but obviously during the season when we knew we had to play a game in the group stage we were always talking about this game and I hope it will be a great game to watch for people who follow us."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Gerard Pique, Spain(On being afraid of trouble from the crowd versus Croatia):
"We understand football is a spectacle and is a show to the fans. I think that we obviously don't accept any kind of violence in football and I hope that all the fans can respect this game, can respect the players and can respect all the other fans that are enjoying watching the game. To think about the kids and the families that are joining in the stadium. I think these events can to be repeated and I hope, for the good of football and the good of this sport that everything goes to an end and it never happens again."
