Carlos Miguel or Marcelo Lomba for Palmeiras: Marcos sees big chance | OneFootball

Carlos Miguel or Marcelo Lomba? After the resolution of Odete Roitman's non-murder in the second version of Vale Tudo, this will be the most repeated question by Palmeiras fans until one hour before the match against Flamengo this Sunday (19), at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship.

Without Weverton, who has a fracture in his right hand, the spot is up for grabs. Abel Ferreira has the options of Marcelo Lomba's experience, who has played in only four games this year, or to promote the debut of Carlos Miguel, newly arrived at Verdão.

Marcos, one of the greatest goalkeepers in the club's history, went through a similar situation during the campaign for the Copa Libertadores title in 1999. After a Velloso injury, who was then the starter, the 25-year-old was promoted to the Palmeiras goal and never left.

Aware of the magnitude of the responsibility, the Santo sees the match at Maracanã as a championship decision and evaluates who should be chosen by the Portuguese coach.

– Both Carlos Miguel and Marcelo Lomba are prepared for the match. I'm sure whoever plays will do a good job – declared Marcos, exclusively for NOSSO PALESTRA.

Despite all the difficulties due to the size of the confrontation and the butterflies before the match, Marcos believes that it is every athlete's desire to be on the field.

– Great players like big games. I think no matter how anxious or tense we get because of the game, everyone dreams of participating – concludes the seventh player who wore the Palmeiras jersey the most, with 533 games.

With Marcos cheering and confident in the choice, Palmeiras takes the field this Sunday (19), against Flamengo, at Maracanã, starting at 4 PM (Brasília time).
