Rakitic: "Mascherano Is very serious, works strong"

In an interview conceded to "Barça Fans", Ivan Rakitic has spoken of some of his mates in the FC Barcelona, standing out to Javier Mascherano like one of the big leaders of the team so much inside as out of the terrain of game. "Mascherano Is a very serious man, works strong in all the trainings, in all the partidillos. At all it escapes him , it tightens, it is very important in this team and for me also, because it learns a lot with him", has explained, adding that "it does not leave you relax you never. It does not surprise me his prize like better player of the Barça of the past year".

"It is a leader, a very strong man. Of forward or goalkeeper, would litigate the same. All what does is always to 100%, never goes down the policeman. To me it indicates me a lot of things. Also it does pranks, but when it puts in the party is very serious and professional. It is in everything". 

It has been asked besides by Douglas Pereira, that hardly has played in this start of season. "It is very calm and worker. He wants to go in the before possible, and is a very pleasant person. It likes him attack, is deep, fast, and will go growing. (Arrive to the Barça) is an important change for him. It looks for the support of the Brazilians in the changing room. We are here to help him".

Rakitic Has showed surprised since it arrived by the big quality of Jordi Masip in spite of being the third goalkeeper of the staff. "It is just to my side in the changing room, so have more contact with him. It is open and has helped me a lot, because it knows well the house. It is calm and always is had to help. I thank for him this. It is a goalkeeper that litigates muchísimimo. It does not have it easy, because have three guardametas, and enjoy withall . It gives us a lot of confidence and will give more to the team. It is very important for us".

And it observes a clear parallelism between the situation that lives Jordi Masip and the one of Sergi Roberto, also convict to the ostracism of Luis Enrique. "As Jordi, carries time here. It plays in my position, and helps me in the trainings. It is very young, remains him a lot of, but carries a lot of seasons in the Barça and will enjoy a lot of him. It sees that it is of the school of the club: has good touch, looks for the depth and give the last pass. It will give a lot of joys".
