Marquinhos: "We are nothing without our fans"
Red-and-black winger highlights the importance of the Nation; secure your tickets and be the sixth player
By Communication - Official Club Website - in
With just three days to go before the first game that will decide the Intercontinental Cup champion, Flamengo continues to train intensely, every day. The team is working in two shifts to prepare for two clashes against a formidable opponent: Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Euroleague champion. The players on the court will have the chance to forever write their names in the history of Flamengo basketball. One of them is Marquinhos, a wing who participated in the "perfect campaign" of the 2013/2014 season and now counts on the support of the Flamengo Nation to crown his achievements with the world title.
"We are nothing without our fans; they are what sets us apart and will continue to be. We are prepared for a match with a lot of energy, determination, and defense, which is where the key to our victory may lie," he said.

Set the pace of the game
I watched Maccabi games last season, and Neto has already been sending videos of their players and staff. I think the biggest surprise about Maccabi is their style of play, which is very similar to the American one, even though they play in the Euroleague. It's very physical, with lots of contact, and a lot of intensity. They have 12 players who rotate constantly, bringing a lot of intensity to the game. So we're prepared for a match with a lot of energy, determination, and defense, which could be the key to our victory.
Home factor
We're nothing without our fans; they're what sets us apart and will continue to be. I'm sure the red-and-blacks will push us every step of the way, and when we need them, they'll keep us in the game.
Highlight at the World Cup in Spain
The International World Cup and the Club World Cup are two completely different competitions. The Intercontinental Cup is a short-term affair; just two matches are enough to decide the outcome. But on the other hand, I'm in match form, as are Marcelinho, Herrmann, and Nico, and that tends to help us a lot. This could be a differentiator in our favor.
Unreleased title
A World Cup is a title that marks a player's life. I have this opportunity, and I'm going to try to seize it, as are my teammates. We've been training intensely for two periods, doing everything possible and impossible to arrive on Friday ready to compete for this title.
