Football: ‘Free-scoring Barca to watch defence’

"The more attack-minded you are, the more you risk," says Pique.

MADRID: Barcelona have only dropped two points so far this season, rolling out victories to open up an eight-point lead over rivals Real Madrid, but defender Gerard Pique admits that they are still vulnerable at the back. But as they prepare to take on Zaragoza today, Pique expressed concern that they were also conceding goals too easily. “It has almost been as though they (opponents) score against us every time they attack and I am not sure why but it is something that we need to think over,” said Pique. “We are also scoring more than last season and so, of course, the more attack-minded you are, the more you risk, but we need to improve at the back.”
