Pique, or Piqué?

Today, I encountered a vocab word "pique" meaning "verb: to arouse an emotion or provoke to action"! Does anybody see the connection! Gerarde Piqué! The great defender for Barcelona. Classy, stylish, solid the defender who rose literally from zero to hero in one year! Coming from being a nobody in Manchester United, Piqué quickly began scaling the ladder of international success in Barcelona. With his extraordinarily strong physical body and the ability to travel forward with the ball, Piqué is sometimes referred to Piquembauer (after Franz Beckenbauer) because of his natural talent to score goals as well as defend. He has become a regular pair with Carles Puyol, and the both of the have become unstoppable forces. Last year alone, he scored 7 goals, won the World Cup with Spain, and held the Spanish Premier League title in honor.
