Jorge Solari has described Javier Mascherano as the best Argentine midfielder of the past 40 years.
Solari, a former Argentine International, founded the Renato Cesarini football club and academy where Mascherano began his career.
Speaking to Spanish radio station RAC-1 Solari professed "For me Mascherano is the best central midfielder that has left Argentina in the last 30-40 years."
Solari went a step further by describing the tough tackling Liverpool star as a better player than Fernando Redondo. The ex-Real Madrid legend is considered by many as the finest midfielder of his generation.
He said: "Even better than Redondo. Javier covers a lot of ground, defends very well, especially one-on-ones, he attacks, he has good technique, he is intelligent and adapts to whatever the coach wants from him."
Mascherano, 24, already has 48 caps for Argentina, scoring twice, and he was recently appointed captain by Maradona.
In the coming months Mascherano will have a key role to play as Los Albicelestes try to qualify for South Africa. They currently sit in fourth position, just two points ahead of Ecuador.
