Marcelo: The fuse has two faces

The length of the Olympic surface in Kiev is 105m, which will be the path for Marcelo and Mohamed Salah to play chasing games. With a dick like Juergen Klopp, he must have known how to lure Real defender up and then beat his student down, opening the path to the Keylor Navas goal.

That was how Barcelona managed to score in the opening match at El Clasico last weekend. As Sergi Roberto strode along the right wing in the direction of his attack, there was no sign of chasing Marcelo. Then Roberto crossed, Luis Suarez simple rampant, 1-0 for Barca.

Not only Barca and Roberto benefit from Marcelo's position. In fact, Joshua Kimmich or Douglas Costa also "thoroughly" hacked into this position to find the goals for Bayern and Juventus. Not to stop there, the list also extends to the bottom rivals such as Getafe, Celta Vigo and Girona.

Few days ago, the legend of the Bernabeu, Jorge Valdano had to promptly identify Marcelo to give a warning about Salah. As a fierce acknowledgment, Los Blancos has a weak spot in the left corridor but is unable to repair it when Marcelo is still there.

However, Zinedine Zidane has a legitimacy to protect his student. Marcelo may have been a bad defender but certainly an outstanding attacker. The 29-year-old has scored in three consecutive knockout rounds in the Champions League this season, one against the PSG, Juventus and Bayern respectively.

For example, the first semi-final against Bayern, a dangerous leg swing from Marcelo's 1-1 margin was a real turning point. Previous time, the White Vulture conceded, played low and did not create a significant pressure to Bayern to abstain.

But Marcelo has spoken, his star quality has his own voice. After 90 minutes, Real won 2-1 in Munich and put a foot in the final. The humor is that Bayern's opening goal comes after Kimmich's effort to clear the ball right into Marcelo's wing.

Obviously, Marcelo can show two faces in the match. His high level of intelligence helps him to get up quickly after mistakes and make it the motivation to move forward.

And looking at the mischief that Marcelo is showing this season, Liverpool's defenders are hard to resist. Marcelo, despite having problems in choosing the defensive position but still get the balance in the eyes of the coach by the ability to attack transcendental.

So Salah can be absorbed into Marcelo's position, but do not forget to back up to support Trent Alexander-Arnold's "kid".
