Hello friends, good vibes to all.
Many times we have heard it said that players are not indispensable, if one player leaves, another one will come; I believe that with Marcelo this unwritten rule does not apply at all. And I say this because when this left back left Madrid he left a giant hole that to this day the Whites have not been able to fill. And the fact is that replacing Roberto Carlos seemed like it was going to be a complicated, if not impossible, task, but nothing could be further from the truth. The one-time pupil began to surpass the master with the passing of time, he did it with speed, goals, assists, with a great vocation to attack but with even more of the same when it came to defending, and for many, one of the best left backs in the history of the sport has just retired.
I don't know if he will be the best of them all but in that list we would have to include Roberto Carlos and Maldini and start a debate. Unfortunately, his retirement was not the best, as he left Fluminense, the last team he played for and with which he won a Copa Libertadores, through the back door after having several altercations with the club's coach, which led to the termination of his contract. This obviously does not tarnish his entire career, which is based on 30 titles, 25 of which were won in the white house. The only thing Marcelo didn't win was a World Cup, since in 2002, when Brazil last won a World Cup, he was logically still very young. He is one of the few to have won 5 Champions League titles, but he is even more exclusive since he also won the Libertadores, a list that only includes Brazilians and Argentinians.

I grew up watching Roberto Carlos play, that combination between him and Ronaldo Nazario was legendary in Madrid and in the national team. But after that, two players were installed that watching them interact was poetry, the way they understood each other was unique, and yes, I'm talking about Marcelo and CR7. I read somewhere, I can't remember where, that 25% of Marcelo's assists went to Cristiano, an absolute barbarity. Without a doubt, the position of full-back is the most complicated in soccer because you have to have the conviction to attack but also to defend and that is something Marcelo did perfectly. When he wanted to, he would throw himself fully into the attack but then, with the lung he had left, he would go down to cover the position he had left unprotected.
With Brazil it must be said that he was not so decisive, he only won three titles, two of them Olympic medals, silver and bronze. I doubt very much that a player like him will ever exist again in soccer, I think that for all that he contributed and meant to Madrid it is not at all unreasonable to consider him a legend. It is true that it would have been much more appropriate and cooler if he had retired through the big door with a great tribute but it was not possible. The legacy he leaves behind is very big and so much so that I repeat, Madrid is still looking for a player who can play that position with at least half the quality that Marcelo did. And indeed, there are players who are irreplaceable, it just seems that it takes some time to realize that.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos leemos en la próxima!
