Marcos Paul is not living a great season in the Famalicao. The Portuguese team seemed the ideal destination for the Brazilian attacker when the Atlético de Madrid made the decision to let him go on loan. An emerging team, in the neighboring country, a league in which it could do great things …
But things are not working out for him at all. Although he has participated in 15 games this season, he has not yet scored a single goal or given assists. Despite this, there are many in Portugal who claim their ownership. But his coach, Ivo Vieira, is not for the work. At least for now.
