Javier Mascherano is
thankful Liverpool rescued him from his West Ham United
nightmare.
The Argentine ace joined The Hammers last August but failed to make
any impression at Upton Park.
Mascherano joined The Reds on loan in January and is keen to prove
he can be a success in England.
"God knows when I would have played football again had I stayed
there," he said in the newspaper.
"It has been very tough because I knew I wasn't going to play any
more games at West Ham and I thank Liverpool for coming in for
me.
"I wondered what would happen to my career - at my age I need to be
playing. I asked myself 1,000 times why did I agree to go to West
Ham.
"Now I owe it to myself and the world to show that I am good enough
to play in the Premier League."
