Honored yesterday (1) by Corinthians on newly opened Calçada da Fiel, in the lobby of Neo Química Arena, Marcelinho Carioca thanked the director of the Parque São Jorge club for the recognition of his work. The former player and now a journalist showed excitement with the new formation of the team led by Sylvinho and designed a competitive team in the second round of the Brazilian Championship.
“That’s gratitude and gratitude is priceless. It’s recognition of hard work. Repetition makes you perfect. Corinthians it’s my second skin since the first day I put it on on December 23, 1993. It was something unusual: each year an achievement and memorable goals. O Corinthians it’s in my skin, in my heart and in my head. You travel outside Brazil and are recognized. It’s the perfect marriage that lasts for eternity. I feel honored,” said Pé de Anjo to UOL Sport.
The name of Marcelinho Carioca was one of 11 chosen by fans to represent the ‘ideal team’ in the club’s history. In addition to former shirt 7, the list has Cassio; Fagner, Chicao, Martingale and Wladimir; Neto, Rivellino and Socrates; Emerson Sheik and Ronaldo Phenomenon. Another 100 names were also honored.
Idol of a whole generation and pointed out by many Corinthians fans as the greatest name in the club’s history, the former player was very satisfied with the board’s advances in the ball market. After all, in addition to Roger Guedes, Giuliano and Renato Augusto, the Corinthians managed to sew a deal with Arsenal, from England, and remove attacking midfielder Willian from the Premier League.
“The technical part is unquestionable. Willian is a Brazilian national team player, who dribbles, goes up and knows how to foul. A bold group player, in his own quiet. He’s an ace with the ball. He with Renato Augusto, Giuliano, Roger Guedes, Mosquito is doing well and with Gabriel in contention you have a very competitive team. Corinthians“, explained Marcelinho, waiting for a strong team following the Brasileirão.
