I've heard it all. Oh, he's supposed to be a left back. Oh, he hardly tracks back. My goodness, he leaves so much space and can hardly defend. What a liability, he would drive any manager insane. Well, that's all well and good but that's your problem not mine.
Marcelo is one of the best footballers in the world.
That isn't me being controversial or seeking attention like a chick who just had a boob job. That is just plain old HH stating a fact that if you understood football and appreciated the true skill and art of the technique associated with the sport, you would agree.
There are things that Marcelo does in a match that very few footballers I know can pull off. I'm talking about players you can count in one hand. This Brazilian cat has such incredible ability on the ball and his confidence in his ability means that in any situation, surrounded by a pack of wolves or even King Kong bearing down on him, he will find a way to dance away from the trouble.
In every game that I've seen Marcelo play, he does something that just makes me hold my head in awe. Whether it's a deft touch that gets him past a player, a fancy pirouette, or how he combines with his teammate in an imaginative manner. He always shows something that transcends every other player on the pitch. That my friends, is what we like to call around these neck of the woods....BALLA!
He's a balling, baller, balla. A truly elite football player and people should start showing him some props. He deserves to be put right in the same category as the Argentine hobbit and the Brazilian Truth (who people are somehow blaming for Barcelona's slump). We can talk about his lack of defensive ability and all that, but why should we? Instead let us celebrate one of the best footballers on the planet who should be an example for every young kid wanting to play.
You know who Marcelo reminds me of? As in a player who brings the streets onto a professional football pitch in a perfect transition?
Dinho.
RESPECK MARCELO! HH
