hush, child -- let marcelo soothe you! MGEF @ tumblr has posted an awesome set of gifs of the boys training that features a big dose of sunshine:
lookit him frolic!
and on the topic of this season: i'm sure this is just my blatant bias, but i really feel like marcelo's prolonged absence due to injury this year had a huge impact on our club's cohesion. i think he's more important to that locker room than most give credit -- he's a goofball and part of that portuguese-speaking clique, but he's also our third senior-most player. along with ramos and (sob) pipita, he's one of those guys i'd call a pseudo-canterano: he didn't come up through our system, but we bought him so young that he became the player he is while wearing a white jersey. i really think it's not a coincidence that his worst season, injury-wise, was also our worst season since his big breakthrough in 2010-11.
Marcelo - oh Marcelo! He makes me think of rainbows and babies (that never cry) and ice-cream (chocolate, strawberry and vanilla - the stripey-fancy kind but with a thicker vein of strawberry - a whole carton all to myself), and sunshine and falling in love and sunshine and more sunshine.
He is JOY. And I love him!
And you're making me all happy thinking about him!
They are the absolute cutest dorks. I love how Pepe casually lets Cris jump over him, like "oh Cris, not this again" but when Cris jumps ahead and cocks his head expectantly, Pepe of course reciprocates.
