Reina Believes Letting Masch Go A Huge Mistake

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina
believes the loss of midfielder
Javier Mascherano to Barcelona is
a huge loss for the club.
Reina is adamant that
Mascherano ’s departure will hurt
the Reds as he is such an
important part of the line-up as
well as a great person off-field.
"The departure of Mascherano is
a big problem for Liverpool is a
big problem because he is one of
the best players of his type on
the pitch, ” the Spanish gloveman
said.
"Javier is very competitive, very
Argentinian and he always offers
his maximum in every game. For
Barca this is a good new thing,
but it's not for us.
"Mascherano will be a positive
surprise in La Liga. He is a
footballer who works, works and
works. Also, personally, he is a
good character. He is quiet but
very friendly.
"He was not someone who got
into controversy. He never
caused rows in the dressing
room. He was good on the pitch,
broke up counter attacks and
now we need other players with
his characteristics."
