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

Carlos Miguel or Marcelo Lomba? After settling the non-murder of Odete Roitman in the second version of Vale Tudo, this will be the most repeated question by Palmeiras fans up to an hour before the match against Flamengo this Sunday (19), at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship.

Without Weverton, who has a fracture in his right hand, the spot is open. Abel Ferreira can choose the experience of Marcelo Lomba, who has played only four matches this year, or he can give a debut to Carlos Miguel, recently arrived at Verdão.

Marcos, one of the greatest goalkeepers in the club’s history, went through a similar situation during the 1999 Copa Libertadores title run. After Velloso, then the starter, suffered an injury, the 25-year-old was promoted to the Palmeiras goal and never looked back.

Aware of the magnitude of the responsibility, the Santo sees the clash at Maracanã as a championship decider and assesses who should be picked 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,” said Marcos, exclusively to NOSSO PALESTRA.

Even with all the difficulties due to the magnitude of the clash and the butterflies before the match, Marcos believes it’s every athlete’s desire to be on the field.

“Big players like big games. I think that as much as we get anxious, tense because of the match, everyone dreams of taking part,” concludes the seventh player to wear the Palmeiras shirt the most, with 533 appearances.

With Marcos in the stands and confident in the choice, Palmeiras take the field this Sunday (19) against Flamengo, at Maracanã, from 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time).
