The Barca star was once in the same club as the Danish centre-back, and with Barcelona trying to lure him during this transfer window, Mascherano hailed his former counterpart.
After losing one of the best coaches in their history, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 decided to make Tito Vilanova the new manager of the club.
Working under Josep Guardiola as an assistant coach definitely means that he has learned a trick or two from his Catalan counterpart.
However, as soon as he signed for Barcelona, Tito Vilanova told the management that he will need at least two defensive players during this summer transfer window.
The first player which the Catalan giants bought was the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111.
Alba showcased his talent throughout the Euro 2012 campaign, and was also phenomenal for Valencia last season.
With the replacement of Eric Abidal arriving at the Nou Camp, Tito Vilanova now needs a centre-back who can replace http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 in the future.
Puyol has been having a lot of problems with his knee, and Barcelona definitely require a future replacement for their club captain.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 centre-back, Daniel Agger, might become one of those players who will replace the Catalan defender on the pitch for Barcelona.
While the transfer rumours were not catching any fire, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 has once again lit the match.
The Argentinean star, who was once a part of Liverpool, recently said in an interview that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Agger-c9884 is a smart defender.
Mascherano, himself, has been playing as a centre-back for Barcelona and believes that the Danish star will be a great addition to the team.
While speaking about Daniel Agger, Javier Mascherano stated:
"Agger has great qualities in central defence. He is clever and calm with the ball and can play a major role in the building of the game."
"He can actually score some goals also.”
"As a person he is a great guy who takes his work very seriously. I have enjoyed playing with him."
This interview might just assure the footballing fans that Barcelona are still trying to sign the Danish defender, who managed to give out a solid performance for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 during their exploits in the Euro 2012.
