The
midfielder was one of three men elected to lead the side should first choice
skipper Andres Iniesta be absent at any point this season
Barcelona star Javier
Mascherano has spoken of his
"great joy" at being named
among the club's captains for the new season. The Argentine has been linked
with a move away from Camp Nou this summer, with
his agent claiming that he was keen on a move to Serie A this week. However,
Mascherano has now revealed his delight at taking on a more
senior role as one of Andres Iniesta's deputies. "It's a great joy,"
he is quoted as saying by Marca. "It's not easy
to reach this at a club like Barcelona, with many players who are identified
with the club and the history of the club. ”I appreciate the confidence but
it's not up to the captain to give opinions." Barca cruised to a 3-0 win over
Roma on Wednesday and Mascherano, fresh from Argentina's Copa America
campaign, was delighted with his side's performance."There was a good
level even though there were players who had come from holidays and hadn’t
played yet."
