Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior, or simply Marcelo, was one of the ‘Crown Jewels’ of always-prolific Brazilian football and one of Real Madrid’s swanky winter signings of 2006/07. He arrived in Europe at the age of 18 having already hit the big time with Fluminense and he quickly adapted to Madrid thanks to the other Brazilians on the squad, but especially Roberto Carlos, who took Marcelo under his wing and taught his successor the tricks of the trade.marcelo real madrid marcelo robinhomarko selic marcelo marcelo de facto marcelo fuentes.
A pacey and offensive player, the young left-back has worked arduously since landing in Madrid hoping to capitalize on the opportunities given to him by the manager. With nerves of steel and water running through his veins, Marcelo has earned Bernd Schuster’s confidence and a spot in the line-up. “I always knew I’d get my chance, and now I get to show my stuff on the pitch,” he explained.
