People keep asking me to recognise Mascherano as a centre back. No way! :lol:

 

:lol:

 

I know mate.

 

The way my Barca friend explained it to me is that when they have the ball he's a link between the def (3) and the advanced mifield (2-3 of whom have to get into the box as they have no recognised striker). When they have the ball it's essentially a 334 most of the time. When they lose the ball his job is to harass the the opp advanced forwards. The other 3 proper defenders sit behind him.

 

Essentially the system has profited from having at times 6 in midfield for short passes as the 'ghost striker' is basically Messi. :lol:

 

The story behind this goes that Pep tried it cause Pique has lost intrest in football since he bought an island with Shakira. True Story. :razz:
