Of all the titles Marcelo leaves in the showcase with his departure, perhaps one of those that he never imagined raising was that of having exceeded -by far- the numbers he left Robert Carlos in the same position, that of left back, in the same club, the real Madrid.
A milestone that there is nowhere to grab it, nor where to bite it, it is not even written in any diploma that says it very clearly and that, curiously, is the most surprising. No one expected him when the Brazilian arrived in the fall of 2006 with the face of an 18-year-old boy, acne cheeks and innocent eyes.
Since then, he has grown in everything: in titles, in games, in goals and in hair. The same mane that began to accompany him then, says goodbye today. And he is also positioned as one of the most famous hair in the club’s history along with that of Vicente Del Bosque, Hugo Sánchez or Iván Campoeach for different reasons.
Beyond all that, Marcelo said goodbye today real Madrid Like the legend that he is. With the best last photo you could wish for in football: raising a Champions as captain, his fifth. And displaying that Brazilian charisma in each response to his press conference that places him at the height of his countrymen and ancestors Ronaldo Nazario or the mentioned Robert Carlospresent at the ’12’ farewell ceremony.
Therefore, the debate remains in the air, but only based on tastes, Roberto Carlos or Marcelo? because in numbers, as cold as true, Marcelo Vieira wins, already a legend of the real Madrid.
