Marcelo makes it clear that no more signings are needed

Although Zidane is still determined that Florentino Perez makes a last minute attempt, both with who comes in and who leaves. Marcelo has made it clear that they do not need to sign anybody else to face the season with maximum garantuee.

"Our team is good. It's difficult, but if we focus on our work, we can win everything. We do not need signings", he commented. However, with or without signings, the path is clear for the Brazilian: "Since i have been in Madrid, the club has taught me to fight for every title. This year nothing changes. We want everything, the League, the Champions league and the Super Cup".

But Zidane has become "Mr Champion", as Madrid become one of the favourites to get the most desired title again. "We know that each year it's more difficult to win the Champions League, as well as La Liga and the Super Cup. In every country clubs work towards this, this is what makes it so difficult", Marcelo commented.

About himself, after a great start, the Brazilian defender wants to put comments made about him behind him: " Last season's criticisms were only a fraction of what i have received since my first day in Madrid. I have learned to live with them. I know better than anybody when I am in good form and when I am not. The critics don't bother me. When things don't go my way, I have to work hard to improve."

From a personal level, two curiosities: the Volkswagen beetle that has tattooed on his right arm. "My grandfather always believed in me and took me everywhere. He did everything possible and impossible to see me play as a professional. And the tattoo is the car he always took me in to train."

The other, that he has never been to the hairdressers, he manages his peculiar hair himself. "I go a long while without cutting it, but when I do, I do it myself. I just cut the ends so that it stays long and even."
