Marlon, of jewel to urgency for Luis Enrique in the Barça

Marlon Santos has in front of his noses an opportunity that does not think to leave escape. The young promise of Xerém, the school of football of the Fluminense, has worked a lot to his 21 years to land in a club of world-wide size like the FC Barcelona, and does so only some weeks had very clear that his first season in the Barça would be of transition, with the aim to evolve like footballer and play the possible maximum of minutes in the Barcelona subsidiary to the orders of Gerard López.

Now, however, his good performances in the pre-season 2016 of the FC Barcelona against Celtic of Glasgow and Leicester City, joined to the current injuries of Jeremy Mathieu and Gerard Hammered, turn him into the potential third head office of the Barça of Luis Enrique after Mascherano and Samuel Umtiti, at least of face to the next commitments of League and Champions, until I Hammered recover .

To base of hard work in the trainings and good performances with the Barça B, Marlon has gone winning little by little the confidence of Luis Enrique and foresees that it go in in the next announcements of the first team, something that could mean a jump of quality more in his progression, taking into account that the next campaign could form already splits of the staff of the first team.

Surely Marlon never before thought that it could play an official party of the Barça in the short term, but this could suceder against Granada or Manchester City, the two next appointments before it recover Gerard Hammered, if it is that the Catalan does not arrive to time finally to play in front of the group "citizen" in the Etihad Stadium.

For the moment, the barcelonismo is very ilusionado with the potentialities of Marlon Santos like player of future... And the footballer is concienciado that now only exists a premise: hard work and patience.
