The former soccer player FC Barcelona Javier Mascherano was the protagonist of Movistar’s ‘Informe+’ program and in his review of his sports career he assured that “from that first offer that the Barcaas the negotiation with the Liverpool I started to get money from my four-year contract”. On his first day training he confessed that “he was not a player for the style of Pep and I knew it. The first day, in the middle of the national team break, I said ‘the figures are not there and this is how it is, when the good ones are there, what will it be'”.
Of his aspiration as a future coach, he said that “I intend to be more like Luis Enriquebecause I know that I will never be able to reach Pep”. He added that “I lived three spectacular years with Luis Enrique. When we talk about the importance of coaches within a footballer, it has nothing to do with the titles but with the importance in your career. The most influential may be Pep for the drastic change but Luis Enrique was to give our idea one more twist. Pep is incomparable, a genius impossible to imitate, I think Luis is there from Pep but it is more attainable for those of us who pretend to be coaches”.
In the year of Tata Martino he thought about leaving and this is how he narrates: “It was not easy to recover from losing the World Cup final. I had been in Barcelona for four years and the last year was not easy. At that time Rafa Benitez being in Naples he tells me that he wanted to take me to Naples. Luis Enrique He told me I couldn’t go anywhere.”
of his role with Messi and of what helped him on his trips together with the national team, he made it clear that “we have been through many difficult situations. We talked because we were friends. Underestimating the intelligence of someone who is special. Am I going to play a psychologist? I could with my cross, how am I going to be able with that of another”.
Of his farewell, when he scored his first goal, he said that “they always teased me because I had never scored. I wanted it to be natural, not forced, but they insisted so much that I took the penalty. On the bench they laughed because we lived in constant joke with that.
The Argentine says that “it was clear to me that I didn’t want to go wrong Barcelona because I had already gone wrong Liverpool. Barcelona was the best stage of my career.”
