"The dream has finished , but has lasted more than what thought"

In the derbi against the Espanyol of the Thursday the Camp Nou will surrender a warm homage, but Javier Mascherano already has given this Wednesday his last press conference like player of the FC Barcelona. It has been a full celebration of emotions, smiles and tambien some tear, but the footballer leaves very arropado by which have rowed beside him during all these years. 

To them precisely it has wanted to remember in one of his first interventions, in which it has appreciated all the lived in the Barcelona group: "I seat Me a privileged. The affection of the people that has shared with me these years is very good. The lucky am I. The dream has finished , but has lasted much more of what had thought. It touches to say goodbye".

"It came thinking in this end and arrived the moment. Always I have said that the most difficult to be here was that a day had to goyou . It goes with the feelings that one has. The step of the time has been an indicator, the loss of leadership... Before putting in a commitment to the club and not finishing well treated to look for a solution so that all finish satisfied", has explained on his decision.

"Always I have said that the most difficult to play in the Barça is that a day have to go you"

One of the appearances that has commented is the big competition that exists in the team, one of the strong points of the Barça: "Have the best mediocentro of the world (Busquets) and was difficult to have a place here. The Barça needs a staff and players that loom to the headlines. During these years has increased this competition. It gives taste see how train the boys that less options have".

And it has continued appreciating that it have understood and respected his will: "When one grows every time goes putting more than the part of the trainer. I appreciate a lot to Ernesto because it comprised my situation and my feelings. I saw that it was not the player that was, that could not revertir the situation and that the level of the position of head office was very high. I have remained me until the last day that had pactado. They wanted that it followed, but had to be a bit selfish, think in me and try not prejudicing to anybody".

Between the fortresses of the club, also has wanted to signal to his mates. "The changing room was the secret of all these years. When I arrived I thought that it went me to find with a difficult group because there was big players and because it had won a lot. But all the contrary. I found me with a spectacular human group that has been the key of the successes. Puyi, Xavi and Víctor marked the way at the beginning. Afterwards the control was changing, but kept in the same senda", has recognised.

Relief ensured

Reviewing one of the best played that lived in his career like footballer culé, that apurado theft to Niklas Bendtner in the eliminatory of Champions against the Arsenal, Mascherano has admitted that it marked him: "Always I have said that this played marked a before and an afterwards. The things had not been easy for me and this moment gave me the confidence to follow contributing things to the team. There are moments in the life that mark".

In spite of everything, does not want to remain only with a moment: "I remain Me with the day in day out, to be able to enjoy of only moments. I have had the opportunity to play with the best players of the world. They have simplified me the things and have done me go up the level". And also it has signalled between laughs that because of the insistence of his mates will pose be trainer when it hang the boots.

Finally, it has gone back to appreciate the lived and has aimed to his relief in the captaincy. "So much time in a place like east wears out a lot of. Sometimes it is better to do a reset and start again. Finish my career in the football of elite in the Barça is a privilege. Never I have had the priority to want to be an example. The lucky in all these years was I. Never I imagined me can remain so much time in the Barça", has manifested, before closing saying that "The captain will vote it the boys, Hammered could be perfectly the captain by his ancestry in the changing room and these years has not needed the bracelet to be it".
