Last week Real Madrid icon Marcelo announced his retirement of professional football with immediate effect, at the age of 36. The left back, which was paraded in the Santiago Bernabeu prior to Saturday's Madrid Derby, will now start a new chapter in his life in his life.
Speaking with Antena 3 (via relevant), Marcelo opened his although trial behind retirement, which came two months after he left Boyhood Club Fluminense.
“I was able to do everything I wanted in football, I have not had a serious injury, I played for the best club in the world, but there will come a time when you need different things and new challenges.
“When I thought to get up, take care of myself, not to drink beer, not to go out at night … comes a time that you have to live. When the time came to decide to leave football, it was difficult to tell my wife and my children. But I am very happy with my pension life. '
Marcelo also revealed the goals he has for after retirement, of which there are several.
“I have a player management company, a team in Brazil, now I have time to go to the office to read e -mails and send e -mails. These are things I like to do while playing football, but I didn't have time. I want to help people who make art, to get to galleries in Malasaña. Be close to people who paint a wall. See where I can help. I really want to produce songs. “
Finally, Marcelo revealed that at some point in the future he would like to return to Real Madrid, although he does not see himself coming in the footsteps of the will of Zinedine Zidane and Xabi Alonso.
“I am considering ending at Real Madrid, but now I have time for my family, for my team to think and in front of the desk. Madrid will always be my home. I am sure I will be at Real Madrid one day. My wife tells me that I look like a coach, but I don't see myself that way. “
