Enigma Marcelo

Something happens with Marcelo. The Brazilian had to appear in the list of summoned by Zidane for the duel against him grenade, but it was not like that. Only four defenses appeared: Nacho, Militao, Odriozola Y Michael Gutierrez, the latter of the Castile and only natural left-handed side. The situation is strange since Marcelo had trained with the rest of the group normally a few hours before. A video was even uploaded to social media alongside Rodrygo in which they juggled the ball, presumably after the session was over.

The club refers to some minor discomfort in the left knee to explain its absence. However, as reported Goal yesterday, the reason for your 'no call' could have been a strong discussion that coach and player had yesterday for a tactical issue that occurred during an exercise. Edu Aguirre, journalist from The Chiringuito, later confirmed that he was not traveling by technical decision. All this happened on the day that Marcelo turned 33 years old. A new episode in one of the most difficult seasons since he arrived at Real Madrid.

It should be remembered that the relationship between Marcelo and Zidane has always been magnificent. The Frenchman has been the main supporter of the winger even in his worst moments. In recent months he had regularly rejoined the team. Although, yes, it is being a season of very few minutes for him: accumulates 1,317 in just 18 games.

This situation fuels the rumors of leaving the white club this summer. Marcelo is, for the first time in a long time, the substitute side with Mendy in front. In addition, part of the directive believes that his presence in the squad can slow down the progression of Miguel Gutiérrez, jewel of the quarry that against Granada will play its first game as a starter. The Brazilian has one year left on his contract, but Everything indicates that his stage in Madrid ends during the next market.
