Mascherano, the "most necessary" warrior of the FC Barcelona

Javier Mascherano does not need any title of nobility to feel captain. But this nomination no only has a symbolic question or of recognition. It can think also like a way to order tácticamente to the team title inside the field of game. To divide it in four parts, each one with his own marshal.

Andrés Iniesta, first captain, referent of the offensive midfield. Leo Messi, the second captain, leader of the attack. Busquets, third captain, commander of the defensive midfield. The last pigeonhole of the captaincy had to be for a defender and is Mascherano the one who has won it to him, badly that it weigh him. Badly that it weigh him, because he knows that already few times will play in his position of all the life, that will have to follow reinventing like defender to try be indisputable headline in the best team of the world. Something that is not little thing.

What needs the FC Barcelona of him and that still has not given him or that still has not found the way to give it? Be the marshal of the fourth sector. Turn into leader of his flank. Teach to the defenders to be more pícaros. Even, evade of elegant way some norms of the fair-play with this so Argentinian diplomacy. Perhaps it have to finish the era of the defenders-noble-cavalier culés and have to surface a version a so much more ruda.

An ideal future no very far could imagine with the captain Mascherano moving to his new role the "tics" of the old policeman. Congratulating to Sergi Roberto or to Dani Alves by his trepidantes offensive arrivals but demanding them the double of effort and concentration in his marks. Reassuring to Gerard Hammered when it can not dominate his nerves and ordering it when it do not know to administer his power. And demanding to Jordi Alba the maximum that can give so that in each party was always and no sometimes this machine imparable that devours the terrain.

Javier Mascherano, already condemned to stop always in the line of the bottom, will have to think this nomination like a small era. His minimum era. This fourth indispensable part that the Barça needs that it consolidate what before to be even more powerful. Thus it is so important that continue in the FC Barcelona and do not abandon the ship this summer. Because, without him, the Barça would not lose so only to an excellent player... It would lose to a leader, the more "warrior" that has had in the last times.
