Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano thinks that another Argentine at the club is bound for big things, with the midfielder opining that left-back Emiliano Insua will get better as he gets older.
The 20-year-old defender managed 13 senior appearances for the Reds last season, despite facing competition for his shirt from Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena.
"He's been doing well," Mascherano told LFC Magazine. "Obviously he is a young player so can still improve and get better.
"It isn't easy to be playing for the Liverpool first team at just 20-years-old. I'm really happy for him.
"Emiliano didn't play first-team football in Argentina, so to come here at such a young age and make the breakthrough is a great achievement."
And Mascherano feels that the lack of first team experience in his native land could have proved problematic for Insua, and it is further testimony to the player's talents that he has slotted in so well.
"It would have been easier for him had he played first-team football in Argentina. Everything was new to Insua when he came here," the midfielder added.
"But after just two years he is playing really well whenever he gets into the first team."
