‘I refused to play to force through Liverpool move – I regret the way I left’
Former Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano once revealed that he regretted how he acted in order to force his way out of the club.
The Argentinian joined the Reds from West Ham in 2007 and spent three years at the club. Mascherano became a firm fan favourite at Anfield with the Kop even assigning him his own song after warming to his fully committed displays on the pitch.
The tough tackling midfielder turned out for the Reds 94 times and was a key asset in the team that ran Manchester United close for the Premier League title in 2008/2009 under Rafa Benitez. However, Mascherano’s relationship with the club soured as he sought a move to Barcelona following Roy Hodgson’s arrival at the club in 2010.
After the Reds refused to entertain a bid from the Spanish giants for the midfielder’s services, Mascherano then left in unceremonious circumstances following a brief period of time where he refused to play. Despite his switch seeing him win five LaLiga titles and two Champions League trophies, the now 40-year-old claims the way in which he forced his way out Liverpool “upset” him
