14 - Javier Mascherano

[Andresito]

U20 is a very limited batch of players. Shouldn't judge Masche on his results but rather how he likes to play.

First challenge without same U20 generation, he is undefeated and raises to the occasion while beating Brazil in last game.
Maybe there is a good coach somewhere in there.
Won't mind him replacing Marquez as Barca B coach.

He is a good coach

I always thought him and Busquets would make excellent coaches

Mascherano is the new coach for Inter Miami.

Messi saving the future of Argentina.

Messi was his biggest advocate for both U20 and U23 jobs. Him and Scaloni.

Those teams were overrated as it gets, but he was still underwhelming.

It is kind weird, because even back in his playing days, it was reported that Lucho suggested that him and Busquets were the players who has biggest chances of becoming Barca coaches in the future (Xavi was already in Qatar).

Something doesn't add up if all those legends sees something that we don't see.

I understand why they did it but the support that Messi and Scaloni gave to Mascherano is something to criticize them for. Mascherano should have done so much better in the U-20 South America Championship and the U-20 World Cup. The Olympics was the last straw.

At least now, Mascherano won't ruin the future of Argentinian talents and can just chill with Messi and his former clubmates in Miami.

He'll be a nightmare to deal with for the FIFA Club World Cup for Miami though. I am hoping that I am wrong.

 

[Temptation]

Very underrated player. Liverpool cult hero.

Bro needs to squat more.

Other than the weird subs made vs NYFC, he made a great start for Inter Miami

 

[DonAK]

He's Steven Gerrard level bad. Honestly probably worse.

The Argentina teams he coached weren't full of some generational talents, but he made those kids look far worse than what they actually were and now Inter Miami looks like the team they were before Messi joined under him

Keep him as far away from Barca as possible even if it's Juvenil B.

Inter di amigos

 

[Maradona37]

Seems a clown of a coach. He was a great player.

Hopefully Messi does the right thing and retires right after the next World Cup, just turned 39. That's old enough and he has nothing else to prove. The best player ever should also retire after the biggest tournament ever, like Zidane and other legends did, not some random MLS game (especially if they win it again, which I am not sure they will). No professional footballer should play past their 40th birthday, unless they're a goalkeeper. I stand by that forever.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

In his defense, Busi, Messi, Suarez and Alba. That's just too many old legs. A lot of quality in terms of skill but not enough legs.

Same issues as Barca had with the old Amigo teams. Can't match the intensity anymore.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Masche needs to buy the best players itw then he and the captain will shine
