![]() And well, I was born there and I have all my friends there, and my entire family is from there too. And that’s what Catete is like, there is a street, a big street, with a lot of people. I didn’t live on the beach or in the favelas. and well, there is the middle ground, with favelas behind it, and that’s where I lived. The neighborhood Catete is… there is the beach, and there are favelas…. I’m still in contact with six of them, more or less. There are some that I’ve lost contact with because they moved away or have traveled, but we were seven or eight. What was your childhood group of friends like in Catete? I’ve had some bad moments, but everyone goes through them, and nothing extremely bad has happened to me. Have you experienced bad moments in your life?īad? Well, that happens to everyone, no? But I have nothing to complain about, because my family has always done everything for me, and I never lacked anything. We then got married, although we already felt like we were married before. We were friends first, when we were 15 or 16, I knew her brother, and then we started going out later. When did you meet your wife Clarice, whom you dedicated the song of this program to? I have all my friends there, and I’ve had a wonderful time there. That’s where I met my girlfriend, who is now my wife. I was a normal kid, always happy, playing football on the streets, futsal, going to the beach, doing what normal kids do. Tell me about your childhood, of growing up in the Catete neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro… what were you like? I think this helps me in the locker room and in my life as well. Well yes a kid, but I’ve learned a lot in life, both from defeats and wins, and you can say that I’m a kid, because I’m always happy and upbeat. Whenever people ask me about you, I usually tell them one thing, he’s always going to be a kid. I know how to play and I play well, but Pepe is better. Well I prefer videos and music from the Internet, and Pepe videogames. It takes only 10 minutes for me to get from my house to Valdebebas, but I have to listen to music on the way.Īnd videogames… you and Pepe have a spectacular competition going on… Music is very important to you, no? You’re always listening to music, whether on your iPod or in your car, on the bus… I’ve always worked hard, and when I achieved things, I’ve valued them a lot. You value things more, and I’m no different. What you said before was nice, that no matter what the situation is, the way you are always has to be the same, with the joy, since everything’s easier when you’re happy, and later on when things get better, you can enjoy them more. I’m a normal dancer, and I can dance with any type of music, and it works out. They try, but Brazilians have a special relationship with dance. I don’t know if you’re the best player on Madrid, but you’re definitely the best dancer. I’ve always been like this in my life, and I try to transmit it to the locker room with each game. Yes, from the time that I was a kid, with or without difficulties, I learned that in life you have to be happy no matter what, or at least try to be. Is it just the way you are, with the happiness, the dancing, the music? People might not know, but I’ve seen you dance there, with your rhythm, before, during and after the training sessions. You’re a real romantic! This song is also one of the ones you dance the most to in Valdebebas. ![]() Yes, I have many favorite songs, but this one I dedicate to my wife, who is my sweetie.

But his biggest and most adorable smiles are reserved for his wife Clarice, his three dogs and his son, apparently in that order! I also absolutely adored the parts where Marcelo reflected on all that his grandfather Don Pedro had done for him, as well as the English words he randomly inserted into the conversation! Marcelo’s totally the fun captain, no? Marcelo was the latest visitor to the RMTV studios, and in this interview, he talks about his origins, being happy and his “brothers” Pepe and Cristiano.
