The world of football dismisses Javier Mascherano from professional activity on Monday and is grateful to have shared moments with him. From different parts of the world and great legends remember him for his commitment and seriousness within the playing field, which have led him to the place of being considered a technician on the court. Within a few hours of this news, the one who took the floor on this subject was Lionel Scaloni, who, as he did days earlier with the decision of Fernando Gago, the coach of the Argentina national team referred to the decision of the “Jefecito”, but also opened the doors of the Ezeiza site.

“Mascherano was an emblem of Argentine football. I wish you could do your best from now on. I send him a huge greeting,” said the coach, who in addition to sharing the 2018 World Cup in Russia, were teammates in the albiceleste. After it, and a possible coaching path of Javier, who will arrive sooner or later.” It goes without saying that, in addition to having been a partner I consider him a friend and logically he will have the doors open of the property, because that is how it has to be, beyond that all this is very premature. We talked, we’re in touch but because he’s a friend who gave me football,” he said. In this way, it calms the first rumours about an alleged incorporation into argentina’s technical team at some of its levels, which has been formed with many former players such as Lionel Scaloni himself, Pablo Aimar, Walter Samuel, Roberto Ayala, among others. and where Masche could fit in perfectly.
