Barcelona
midfielder Javier Mascherano has stated that the time he spent at
Liverpool, will not stop him from joining another EPL club. Mascherano enjoyed a three and a half year spell at Liverpool, before joining Barcelona in 2010. And the Spanish midfielder has stated should a good offer come from a premier league team, he would join.
“My feelings for Liverpool don’t mean I’m tied to them,” he told The Guardian.
“I
have a lot of affection for them and always will have, but if in the
future a Premier League team gave me a chance, you can’t say: ‘No, I’d
only play for one team’.
“We’re professionals, this is our living. Whatever happens, my feelings for Liverpool won’t change.”
“Liverpool were one of the best teams I played for, but the club had problems. I never met the owners,” he added.
“Liverpool’s
a club to enjoy, to be there, to live. It’s not worth owning Liverpool
20,000 kilometres away; it belongs to the people and you don’t get that
if you’re never there. It’s a pity.”
“I was sad that I had to go
the way I did. What happened is what had to happen. They promised me
that if there was a good offer they’d release me because the club was in
a process of disintegration.
“But the club didn’t always tell the
truth; it’s the player whose image gets damaged, the same happened to
Fernando [Torres], but things were clear: I never lied.
“When Rafa
[Benitez] went, they knew I’d leave. I felt the project was falling
apart. Rafa had gone, there was no direction. And the offer was
Barcelona.
“I always felt the club was trying to take a step
forward but couldn’t. Now with Klopp they’re trying. He’s a manager for
Liverpool, very much of the people.
“Nowhere has anybody treated me so well.”
