Young Marquinhos is one of the Flamengo players who are ending 2010 with some positive memories. After being sidelined for a long time due to injuries and legal problems with his former club, Vitória, the player gained prominence with the arrival of Vanderlei Luxemburgo, with whom he worked at Palmeiras, at Flamengo. After standing out with passes and a beautiful goal coming on as a substitute, last weekend he started against Cruzeiro and hopes to continue his work in the final round of the Brasileirão, on Sunday, against Santos.
A player who considers himself versatile, playing both in attack, on the wings, and in midfield, creating plays, Marquinhos hopes to continue being a valuable asset for Vanderlei Luxemburgo both at the end of this year and in the next season. Happy with the good moment he has experienced individually, he guarantees he wants to continue helping Flamengo.
"I'm happy, thank God I'm being used, I've left a difficult period behind and I hope to continue helping Flamengo. We know the importance of Sunday's game and, whether as a starter or on the bench, I hope to be able to help. I am at coach Vanderlei's disposal," he said.
Against the São Paulo team this weekend, Marquinhos believes that Flamengo needs to remain calm and show a lot of determination to secure the points and the consequent qualification for the 2011 Copa Sudamericana.
"It's another tough game, but we need these points to secure our spot in the Copa Sudamericana without depending on other results, and I believe we have what it takes to get that result there," he added.
