DBasia.news – Marcelo has indeed lost his place in the Real Madrid main squad. But this fact does not make his love for Los Blancos fade.
Marcelo was Madrid’s mainstay left-back when they won 4 Champions League trophies from 2014 to 2018. His role was almost irreplaceable.
But a series of injuries suffered in the last 3 seasons changed Marcelo’s fortune. Slowly but surely he had to give up his position to other players.
This continued in the 2021-2022 season which is the last year in his contract with Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti as the coach prefers Ferland Mendy as the main left back.
Marcelo has only made 7 appearances in all competitions so far. Finally, he helped bring Madrid to victory when they traveled to Alcoyano’s headquarters in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey, Thursday (6/1) morning WIB.
Despite undergoing a difficult situation, Marcelo did not hold grudges with Madrid. He promised to make the most of every opportunity given.
“I’ve always given my best since I arrived at the club. I will continue to do so until the end of my contract,” Marcelo told the club’s official website.
“I owe a lot to this jersey and I will continue to give everything until the end. It doesn’t matter if I play more or less because I have a history at this club, a successful career, and I will keep going until the end.”
Marcelo’s mentality is commendable. Usually star players will hold a gudge when they don’t get many opportunities to play.
Marcelo’s maturity is a distinct advantage for Madrid, who are in their best form. It is possible that the end of the Brazilian player’s journey at the Santiago Bernabeu will end wit a championship trophy.
