They WERE good players. But in the last few years they spent much more time in the medical departments than in the fields. If they had been signed about 3 or 4 years ago, undoubtly it would be awesome. But nowadays, Im not really shure. What about this team, Ajaccio? Never heard about, is it any good or what?
Marcelinho Carioca used to score often on direct kicks. I do not know recently. He also has a problem dealing with management.
You sugar coated that more than the Creme Brulet he will be eating in a little while. Marcelinho is a character... one of my favorite players. He's still a good player but his best years are behind him. He's like 34. He last played with the Selecao I think in 2001 and has maybe 2 goals in his selecao career. Andre Luiz has a few more CBF notes and has played for Brazil more. He's only 30 - adn I think he was with PSG in France in 2002-2003 for a little while.
