After terminating his contract with Olympique Lyonnais, Marcelo opted for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, who formalized his arrival this Friday for the next six months (with an optional additional year). The Brazilian central defender, who will try to solidify a defense and a team that has been adrift in Ligue 1 for several months, quickly delivered his first words as a Bordeaux player.
“I am very happy to be at the Girondins de Bordeaux. I made more than 100 matches in Ligue 1 and almost 500 matches in my career. It gives me some experience and I hope I can give that to the team and all the players who are there. So we’re going to work together with a lot of respect, with a lot of desire to do a good job. I hope the results will come soon. Go Bordeaux!”confided the ex-OL player during a short video presentation of the player.
