Marcelo's new physique: slim, powerful, and with 6kg less

The Real Madrid footballer wants to be the best. He is aware that, to be at his best, he cannot be out of shape and just rely on his skills. 

Marcelo is now spectacular shape. In the last few months he has already lost around six kilos. Everything is to convince Zidane that he is worth counting on.

Throughout the summer, Marcelo has been showing the world how he has kept up in shape by frequently posting pictures of his abs on Instagram. He has made it clear that he has not let himself go during his holidays.

Marcelo is aware that he is competing with Mendy for the left-back position. But the Brazilian has not been afraid of anything, on the contrary: he has come back to work with the intention to demonstrate that he deserves to start. 

Marcelo's been through this before. He knows that the season ahead of him will be challenging, and he will have to be at his best if he doesn't want to be replaced by the fresher, younger meat brought in through Mendy.  But this is something he should have no issue with: he has already competed with others like Coentrao and Reguilón. 

The new Marcelo is ready to convince Madrid. No one doubts that, at least physically, the defender is ready to fulfill expectations.

AS | On a vu que #Marcelo était apparu affuté physiquement dès le début de la présaison. Le brésilien avait en effet suivi un programme spécifique pour retrouver sa pleine capacité. Et cela se voit puisque le brésilien a perdu...6 kilos par rapport à la saison dernière. pic.twitter.com/Aao74oogSp
