The Argentine international has expressed his joy in wake of his contract renewal with La Blaugrana, stating that he is more than pleased.
Barcelona’s Javier Mascherano has voiced his jubilation following a renewal in his contract with his current club. The defensive midfielder stressed that he is overjoyed with the prospect of continuing to represent the Spanish giants.
The experienced footballer has always had great respect for the Nou Camp outfit and appears to be having a great time with the club. Mascherano’s appreciation for Barca is noticeable and the player is often seen indulging in excessive eulogy for the Copa
del Rey champions.
Prior to coming to the Catalan capital, the midfielder played for the English Premier League side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. It was at the Anfield-based outfit where the Argentine rose to prominence and managed to impress audiences all over the world.
However, as the Reds struggled, the former West Ham United footballer chose to part ways with them and opted to join the Spanish giants in the summer of 2010.
Interestingly, the former Argentinean captain was used in defence instead of midfield. Pep Guardiola took a gamble which paid off and the player utilized his defensive abilities quite well.
The player, who once captained his national side, initially had some difficulties in finding himself a regular spot in the Barca line-up. However, with the passage of time, the defender was given his chance to shine.
While talking to reporters, Mascherano was quoted as saying:
"I am very happy that a club as big as this has offered to extend my contract. I can feel relaxed that as long as I do things well, I can stay here for many more years. Ending my playing days in a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 shirt now depends on me and how I perform as a
footballer. We have high hopes. We're working very hard.”
"The leader is now Tito Vilanova and he will try to adapt his footballing tastes to the team, but the important thing is that, in most ways, it will be much the same as ever."
