Ivo Vieira: “If Marcos Paulo gave more than the others, he would play”

Marcos Paulo (20 years old) has barely played 584 ‘so far this season. Signed last summer by Atlético, he was transferred to the Portuguese Famalicao with hopes of minutes and experience. But at the moment, it is not working. Marcos Paulo has not played a full game. In fact, in which he played the most was the first of the season, against Sporting, who played 89 ‘. Afterwards, their participation has been declining. Play always but less and less. His coach, Ivo Vieira, has explained the reasons. Without leaving you in a very good place.

“It has to do with performance. I do not hide, if I gave more than others, naturally I would play “, explained the coach.” Players who are worth a penny or ten million are worth the same to me. What drives me to make my decisions is performance in training and in the game. Those who have been in the field have performed more, “he added.

The passage through Portugal of Marcos Paulo, considered a pearl in Brazil, at Fluminense, therefore, leaves Atlético a very poor figure zero goals and zero assists and that dwindling list of minutes. 14 ‘against Vizela, 14’ against Boavista, 45 ‘against Portimonense, 21’ against Gil Vicente, 26 ‘against Benfica.
