Marcinho out

By: André | July 16th, 2008

Yesterday Kleber Leite tried to convince Marcinho and his agent to stay on Gávea. No donut for him. Marcinho announced today that he is not our player anymore. The foward will play for United Arab Emirates’ Al Jazira.

Marcinho is first on scoring list and it was said he could leave us any moment. Although leaving the club right now, during a competition, he said, and I quote, “I’ll be back by the end of this year to celebrate the title”.

Marcinho

I really hope he comes back only to celebrate and not to play. I am not a big fan of his playing style, he does not pass when there is a chance to creat a scoring opportunitie. Between me and my friends, he is known as sheriff, because he never lets the ball free.

It is common sense we need to go after some substute players. One for his place and other to cover Renato Augusto leaving. I am out of common sense. Flamengo is knwon by his good young players. To cover Renato we already have Erick Flores, a 19 year-old midfielder, and as the board likes to call him, the greates young player on a long time. To cover Marcinho we have Diego Tardelli, Maxi and Eder. Two fast foward players.

The first one, with some quality, but we don’t know what he can really give us. When he played for São Paulo, he created some problems and after doing some great games he used to disapear. The second, is a short argentine foward, also knwon as Messi’s cousin. He is a really fast man and has raça (race – i’ve already explained that). And last but not least, we have Eder. A 21 year-old scoring machine. He came from Guarani and the other players call him the “Training Scoring Man”. Even not having too many opportunities, we still hope he will show his quality soccer.

Now is time to seat and wait.
