The glorious days of the past, when soccer was dominated and starred by the likes of France’s David Trezeguet and Argentina’s Javier Mascherano will return thanks to a nostalgic match starring legends from the American continent and legends from the rest of the world. This is part of the Daytona Soccer Fest lineup of activities and entertainment.
To talk about Javier Mascherano is to talk about a guy who has won practically everything in soccer. League champion in Argentina, Brazil and Spain with River Plate, Corinthians and FC Barcelona, multiple Champions League winner, double Olympic gold medalist. His few setbacks could be considered triumphs for many others: runner-up in both the World CupBrazil 2014 and 4 editions of the Copa America.
For his part, the presence of Frenchman David Trezeguet at the Daytona Soccer Fest guarantees proximity to one of the lucky ones to have won the FIFA World Cup. If we add to this the European Cup he also won with his National Team and his multiple league championships in France with AS Monaco and in Italy with Juventus, we can only recognize him as a true legend of world soccer.
