Marcelo Pereira Surcin (born 1 February 1971), known as Marcelinho Carioca, is a former Brazilian professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He was known as Pé de Anjo (Angel's Foot) for his free kick accuracy, having scored 80 goals in this manner out of a total tally of 505.[1]

One of the greatest-ever players in Corinthians' history, Marcelinho scored 206 goals in 420 matches for the Timão from 1994 to 2001. He won 8 trophies, including two consecutive national titles and the first edition of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2000, but never succeeded in the national team due to his difficult character and falling-outs with numerous coaches.[2][3]

Club career

[edit]

Corinthians

[edit]

After winning 1990 Brazilian Cup, 1991 Rio de Janeiro State Championship and 1992 Brazilian National Championship as a Flamengo player, Marcelinho Carioca signed his first contract with Corinthians—who bought him from Flamengo for US$500.000,00[clarify] in December 1993. In mid-1997, after winning the Brazilian Cup (Copa do Brasil) and the São Paulo State Championship (Campeonato Paulista), he was sold to Valencia (ESP) for US$7,000,000 where he would become a teammate of Romário.[4] With the Mestalla side he would play 11 games,[5] of which five would be on La Liga,[6] and scored one single goal,[5] against Hércules in the Copa Generalitat.[7]

After this spell, unsuccessfully came back to Corinthians in the end of the year.[8] Back to "Parque São Jorge" he was two times champion of the national championship (Campeonato Brasileiro, 98 and 99), one time state champion (2001), and raised the trophy of the first FIFA world club championship in 2000.

The second time he left the team seemed to be for good. After a few conflicts with teammates in mid-2001, he was accused of denigrating the clubs image, and left the squad. After training alone for some time in the club, he won in justice the opportunity to play for Santos FC, where he stayed for six months. In a legal dispute (for the 2001 incident), Corinthians won in first instance, obliging the player to pay R$9.000.000.

In February 2006, as part of a deal, he signed his third contract with Corinthians but only six months later, as of the arrival and request of manager Émerson Leão, Marcelinho Carioca was released. He was signed by Santo André the following year, where he stayed until 2009 winning promotion to Brazilian First Division in 2008 but being relegated the following year. He played a farewell match for Corinthians early in 2010 in a friendly against Huracán.

In 2012, he played four games for the Corinthians beach soccer team.
