Ernesto Valverde is fully conscious that the season is long and needs to all the players enchufados so that they can surrender when it ask them . The 'Txingurri' surprised this Saturday ranging to Javier Mascherano of face in front of the Málaga, leaving to Gerard Hammered in the bench.
Mascherano Had a new opportunity to show that when it requires him never fails. The Argentinian contested the ninety minutes in front of the Andalusian group and except at the beginning that was titubeante in some action, his party was of remarkable high. Very fast to the cut, reliable in static and excellent in the exit of balloon.
Umtiti, shier in this appearance, left him all these chevrons to the Argentinian, that was dared and in fact in the second goal his vision of game is key. Mascherano Launched a vertical pass so that it received Messi quite near of the area. The Argentinian gave it to him to Iniesta and the manchego did not fail.
Mascherano Gave samples to be in shape, something that sometimes puts in doubt. The Málaga did not attack a lot, is true, but the 'jefecito' never failed when it demanded him . The Argentinian follows adding split like Barcelona player and during the course will have to be important. It has to follow enchufado to help.
It executes his role perfectly
Mascherano Has a distinct role and assumes it with total naturalidad. It understands that it has to help from the bench and that the team add and attain his aims. Valverde Has given him the chevrons of third head office to Mascherano and the Argentinian plays little, but when it does it fulfil and with note. It is an example, hammers in the trainings to be smart when the 'Txingurri' consider it necessary.
