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.

Yeats.

I love you.

A lot.

And not just because of your username <3

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!

And who else are the boys going to jump over?

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.

This international effort at Kaka harassment.

It's beautiful. :')
