Javier Mascherano blasts back at Roy Hodgson insisting he did not go on strike at Liverpool

The Argentina midfielder, who left Liverpool for Barcelona in a £22million switch on Friday, claims he remained 100 per cent professional but Kop boss Roy Hodgson had branded him “selfish” when he withdrew from Monday’s clash with Manchester City in a bid to force through the transfer.

But Mascherano, 26, said: “I showed at Liverpool that I am always 100 per cent professional and nobody can doubt that.

“Against Manchester City I was not right to play. I spoke with the coach and he understood my position. It was better for the team.

“I have never had any problems with the new coach – I accepted his orders and Roy Hodgson would confirm it.

“My team-mates knew it was my decision and did not say anything about it to me.”

Mascherano – who passed a medical yesterday and will be unveiled by Barca tomorrow – has agreed a four-year, £90,000-a-week contract with the Spanish champions.

But he insists he did not go to the Nou Camp for the money.

He said: “Liverpool will always be in my heart, but my time there has finished and now it is time for a new challenge.

“I have not left Liverpool to join Barcelona for money, just for sporting reasons. The Barca project is very exciting. They have been interested in me in the past and this second opportunity to join them was impossible to reject.

“I will for ever be grateful to Liverpool for what they did for me, but I have done all I can for them on the pitch in return.

“The fans were always brilliant with me and now I must wait to see if they view my exit negatively. That is football.”

Mascherano has been a wanted man this summer, with ex-Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez keen to be reunited with the Argentina captain at Inter Milan.

But when long-time admirers Barcelona joined the race, there was only ever going to be one winner.

Mascherano, whose wife refused to move to England, flirted with them last summer but agreed to stay on at Anfield for one more season.

He added: “Inter was the first option, Rafa wanted me for his new project, but my family and the challenge Barcelona provides made me choose Spain.

“Lionel Messi was also a big influence. He spoke with Pep Guardiola and told him Barcelona needed me.”

Nice addition in midfield.... Hopefully this can stop Lucas from playing ....

if Lucy stay, he would be pushed forward to partner Torres

aduh bro,i never said 5 midfields were crowded one,what i said was we can only use 5 in the middle at max at the same time,that is if we play with 4-5-1,so no need to get another mid

i want to know if the new striker is coming..

curious what position is raul mereiles going to play liv
i thought poulsen was signed to replaced mascherano

Gerrard's twin.......Libero ,

What time is the match kicking off?

10pm

RH's new strategy? playing with a DM?

A WIN TONITE is very important.............

it will breathe confidence into the team and the New Manager's vision

RH is doing wat RB din do when he took over as Manager...........ie, to bring in his players in his first two mth........
RH is shipping out most of his fringe players and bought some key players he feel tat is lacking in RB team

if he happens to win any throphy this season, he can prodly claims tat HE WON IT WIF HIS KEY PLAYERS

RB din won the CL wif his Key Players Houllier's man tat won tat throphy

Somehow, Rafa will always be thankful for bring in the like of Torres, Luis, Reina, Xabi, Masch, Fowler, Yossi, Agger, Skrtel, Johnsy... despite the fact he wasted plenty more money on those fringe players.

of the lot, only Torres and Reina is really good

he should hav bot Simao, Barry and Villa instead as those players at tat time was not costly..........

he wasted a lot on Aqua and Johnson last season

Alonso SHOULD not hav been sold.

aqua is actually a good buy.. just we didn't manage to see what aqua is capable off yet..
he's not a DM..

he just needs to be fit

Ngog not in list

The Reds team in full is: Reina, Johnson, Agger, Carragher, Skrtel, Poulsen, Lucas, Gerrard, Kuyt, Jovanovic, Torres. Subs: Jones, Pacheco, Babel, Spearing, Kyrgiakos, Maxi, Kelly.

one cr7 is enough

one of our particular portugese player are so gay for cr7 he want to be cr7-wannabe(just like ngog being torres-wannabe)

and he miss a penalty in the process and cost us 2 point
