20 Thousand Supporters Of Sambut Olympiacos Marcelo's Attendance: I Am Very Happy And Satisfied
JAKARTA - Marcelo ended 16 years of his career with Real Madrid. He ended up parting with La Liga club Spain after his contract was not extended.
After being busy looking for a new team, Marcelo has now found a new port.
The Brazilian decided to join Olympiakos on a free agent. His presence was greeted with enthusiasm by supporters of the Greek club.
About 20 thousand Olympiakos supporters welcomed the 34-year-old's arrival at their stadium. The red aware was deliberately prepared by the club for their new player.
"I am very happy and satisfied, so is my family," Marcelo said in front of Olympiacos fans, as quoted by Antara from AFP.
"I wish I were here and helped the team with such high dedication," he continued.
Marcelo started his career at Fluminense before moving to Real Madrid at the age of 18. He is one of the most successful players with a club that won 25 trophies.
This season, Marcelo is certain not to see his old club in the Champions League. The reason is, Olympiakos will only appear in the Europa League because he failed to qualify for the group stage.
