Perhaps the best left back in the world right now. A bundle of infinite energy, passion and skill. His defensive game is always questionable but as the season goes by and with the four Classicos under his belt, he has learned a lot about anticipation and positioning.
No one in Madrid gives a more honer performance than him, except Casillas. I love how vocal he is, even when he is wrong, he is always communicating and corresponding with his team mates all over the pitch.
A lot has been said about Mourinho's off field antics, and a lot has been said about how he brain washed his players but a man with Mourinho's confidence has enabled Marcelo to get on the right path of development.
All this talk about him being a LMF was rubbish, he is an attacking fullback through and through. Brazil has to play him with Alves with a diamond midfield. Both and him Alves are going to cause some major damage.
