Gerard Pique made his La Liga debut for Real Zaragoza on Sunday
and enjoyed the experience - apart from the result.
The 19-year-old defender, who joined United in summer 2004 from
Barcelona, is on a season-long loan at La Romareda.
He was given his first chance to shine alongside Gaby Milito at the
heart of the Zaragoza's defence. He scored a late goal, but was
disappointed to end up on the losing team as Villarreal claimed a
3-2 victory.
"I am happy with my performance and the goal I scored," he said.
"But I would have liked to have won because that is most important.
The three points were there to take from Villarreal and you feel
bitter to lose the game."
The young centre-back revealed how he approached the game like it
was any other, to help him overcome the pressure of making his
debut.
"I took my debut as just another game," he added. "If you think too
much about it I believe that it pressures you too much and for that
reason I came up with the idea that it was just another
encounter."
