Javier Mascherano sinceró in a recent interview to ESPN and recognised that the team has had to do an extra effort to treat to minimise the consequences of the drop of Neymar and of the injury of Ousmane Dembélé. It reviewed the actuality of the Barcelona club, of his situation in the selection and even of the politics in Catalonia.

The Argentinian recognised that the course of Neymar forced to change the system. "When it goes a type of player like Neymar leaves an empty very big, between other things by the importance that had in the game. We had to change the way to play, do it with another system. Wine Dembélé, but could not show at all, since the injury came him fast. It was a hard hit, did not expect it. But have the obligation of recomponernos and not living of the excuse", explained.

"Without Neymar, had to change the way to play, do it with another system"

"The style of game of the Barça is something that comes practising for many years. Iniesta, for example, does 12, 13 or 14 years that plays with Messi. I hammered and Busquets, 10 or 11. You can not pretend that a selection play like a team. Not even Spain, that has four players of the Barça or four of the Madrid", recalcó on the style of the Barça.

Also it recognised that it remains him little time in the Argentinian selection. "I see me well to be in Russia. In the grupal all have to arrive with certainty and with what has to do. I finish in Russia or here, now, if I do not go to the World-wide. I will do what say the trainer, but my time in the selection finish . I have it clear. It is necessary to close stages and this begins already to conclude", commented.

Political actuality between Spain and Catalonia

Mascherano Even arrived to wet on politics. "One treats to inform of what happens. We coexist with a lot of people that is from here and no only of the club of out of the changing room, friends, that are Catalan. To one what would like him is that there was a dialogue between Catalonia and the Government so that they can seat the bases to progress both. it is giving A situation in that inside Catalonia there is a crack between people that wants to independizar and the one who no. I compare it with what there is in Argentina and a village with a crack does not advance, since each one throws for where suits him and this is what is sucediendo", sentenced.
