Well that's nice Javier. Welcome back to your day job - where have you been for 2 months?
This is the problem with the old Club vs Country thing. I recall having the same conversation with a friend from London. She was very Ingerlund, all foam hands and flags out of her window, etc. I asked her if she would be happy if her beloved John Terry came out and state that he valued England more than he valued Chelsea (she was a Chelsea fan) and she said "Yes. England is important. Your country is so much more important than your club."
I didn't understand the sentiment because quite frankly I never saw England as that important. The majority of people I know feel the same way. England? Well, they secondary, aren't they? To us, Club comes firmly before Country. We have a player in Carra who will come out and openly state that, to him, Club comes before Country. Unfortunately, this is not true for all. Clearly, this is not true for Mascherano.
It's just kind of unfortunate that he chose to phrase it this way. Tis a shame that he had to highlight the fact that it is only now he can settle down and do what he's paid to do, i.e. focus on his job and not the perk that comes alongside it.
Can only hope he starts performing, now. He hasn't been himself for months.
