For Marcao the fight against Ferrol Racing It couldn’t be more special. A day after the death of his father, the Brazilian defender chose to travel with his teammates and play in a Cup match against Racing de Ferrol in a very difficult emotional situation. A minute’s silence was observed in his memory and Sevilla players wore black armbands.
But Marcao, who went through an ordeal with injuries, in his first game as a starter this season, could not have imagined that fate would score him the first goal of the game. The joy was so great, the football player was touched by the celebration and dedicated the goal, as logical, to his father.
“It was very difficult for me and my family, but my wife and daughters, in addition to my teammates, gave me a lot of strength. “I’m happy with the win, I’ve been away for a long time but I worked hard to come back at 100% and be with my teammates on the field,” Marcao wrote on his social media accounts.
He also showed his joy to the club’s media. “I’ve dreamed of scoring a goal for Sevilla for a long time and when I scored I thought of everyone who was with me every day,” he said. Regarding the match, he assessed: “It was a very difficult match on a difficult field, but the team did very well in the match and we have to continue working for the next one.”
