The bigger, the bigger! Ex-Hertha star Marcelinho (46) can’t help it. Last weekend he played for SA Betesporte Recife in the Brazilian league.
Not in classic football, but in seven-a-side football, a kind of futsal, only in the open air and with slightly different rules.
The former midfield wizard on globoesporte: “My life has always been full of challenges and now I have a new one ahead of me. I’ve tried to retire from football but the will to be competitive still prevails. I didn’t even have time to enjoy retirement. “
His team lost the final 4-5 to Resenha on Sunday. Now Marcelinho will resume his coaching work at the lower-class club Oeirense, which he took over just a week ago. However, he was immediately released as a player for the comeback.
Football comeback for Marcello!
In 2018, the Hertha legend suffered a minor stroke, now he seems to be in top shape again. Marcelinho: “I officially quit two years ago, but not really because I really enjoy playing football. So I managed to keep myself in shape. “

Marcello can’t help it. On December 8th, he won a show fight with one-on-one dribbling duels 3-2 against ex-Bayern star Ze Roberto (47), a real fitness machine. Marcelinho: “Everyone thought he would run me over because they rated him very strongly and he trains a lot in the gym. But I towered above. “
Football and no end – that is Marcelinho’s life.
