Mascherano, marshal of a new was in the FC Barcelona

The positive start of the Barça in the League has done to forget two data that are not lower. First, the bad ephemeris: the Barça received 8 goals against in 2 parties followed that they were 2 finals. Now the good: Mascherano was chosen by his mates like fourth captain

Ticket - Gone in FC Barcelona vs Málaga - League J2
Ticket - Gone in for all the parties of the FC Barcelona

It is known that the Argentinian does not need any title of nobility to feel captain, for the veni, vidi, vici. But this nomination no only has a symbolic question or of recognition. It can think also like a way to order tácticamente the team title inside the field of game. To divide it in 4, each one with his own marshal.

Iniesta, captain 1, the referent of the offensive midfield. Messi, captain 2, the leader of the attack. Busquets, captain 3, 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. I say badly that it weigh him, because he knows that already never will play in his position of all the life, that will have to follow reinventing like defender to be indisputable headline in the best team of the world. Something that is not little thing, similar transformation after so many years of path.

What needs the Barça 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 Sector 4. Turn into leader of his flank. Teach to the defenders to be more pícaros and maybe a bit more cabrones. 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 equitativo Salomón. 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 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.
