14 - Javier Mascherano
- Thread starter nebeer
- Start date
Yeah. Mascherano spread the ball well(to the touchline, Dani Alves and Adriano) in the Arsenal match. And in his other appearances he's done decent in passing.
and they were saying he is going to leave barca in the summer because off playing time.
i think his trying to say he knew he wouldnt start for barca every game

to expect a player who played as a DM his whole life and has never been put in a position where his passing skills are so important to pass the ball exceptionally (as you must be able to in FCB's system) after 3/4 of season is irrational to the point where I feel like calling everyone an "Arsene" (which btw, I think should be our Forum code for irrationality: for example, if someone says: Gareth Bale is the best player in the world right now ... we can respond with, "Well that's an Arsene statemtent to make." ... it rolls off of the tongue).
What is important, is that he came from Liverpool where he was a guaranteed starter and never asked to anything but be good ... and now he asked to not only be great, but to be better than he is. He's worked his ass off to get to where he is and now he's reaping the benefits of that dedication to his craft and himself. He's the anti-Zlatan. He's a BOSS-HOVA. Fucking dynamic.

Badger's passing range is fine, as are his passing abilities. where he lacks in the passing game - and this is the same problem Yaya had - is the speed of thought and execution. he takes a second or two more than Busquets to decide what to do with the ball, and that time completely changes the dynamics of our passing attack.
he'll improve as he gets more comfortable with the system, but I doubt he'll ever be as comfortable as Busquets is, but that's fine, because he fulfills a wholly different role in the squad to Sergi. and it's a role he's accustomed to, and not only that, he's probably the world's finest exponent of it. and we signed him for -€3m thanks to the Yaya sale.

He is programmed for one thing. To kill.

I don't know where the previous posters took that English quote from, but I found one Spanish article (one of several, actually) where he says something of the sort. I don't know whom he gave the original interview to (and in which language).

(Basically: "Can you complain, having Iniesta, Xavi, or Busquets? I would be a fool, I would be embarrassed to ask for more minutes. It's a blessing to share the same uniform as these players," he commented about his lack of minutes on the pitch.)

"Barcelona always wins because of the referee," said Mascherano, turning on the sarcasm to make his points. "It doesn't matter if we have 19 shots or all the possession, it doesn't matter if we are brilliant. It doesn't matter at all ... we win because of the referee."
