Carlos Miguel or Lomba for Palmeiras? Marcos sees career boost | 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 (19th), at 4pm (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 matches this year, or giving Carlos Miguel his debut, the newcomer to Verdão.

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

Aware of the magnitude of the responsibility, the “Santo” sees the clash at Maracanã as a championship decider and weighs in on who should be chosen by the Portuguese coach.

– Both Carlos Miguel and Marcelo Lomba are ready for the match. I’m sure that whoever plays will do a good job – said Marcos, exclusively to NOSSO PALESTRA.

Even with all the difficulties due to the magnitude of the match and the butterflies before the game, Marcos believes that every athlete dreams of being on the field.

– Great players like great games. I think that as much as we get anxious, tense because of the match, everyone dreams of taking part – concludes the seventh player who has worn the Palmeiras shirt the most, with 533 matches.

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