"I wanted to quit football when I was 15. I wanted to
go out with my mates; I was discovering life as a teenager. Luckily my granddad
stopped me. He told me I had amazing ball control, but I didn't believe
him", Marcelo
reveals in a wide-ranging interview with 'Panenka' magazine.
"As a kid I dreamed of becoming a fireman like my dad.
He's still a hero to me", notes the full-back, going on to admit that he
struggled to believe in his own ability: "I found it hard to recognise
that I had talent. I felt embarrassed being the centre of attention: I
preferred to see a teammate score than score myself".
