Asked after the great Parisian victory in Lyon (1-4), Marquinhos mentioned the vote of his teammates to appoint him captain.
Marquinhos has regained his starting position for two matches. If he had started his season on the bench against Toulouse, the Brazilian officiated again alongside Milan Skriniar, Sunday, in Lyon. The former Roman, however, appears less like an indisputable holder and the next return of Nuno Mendes and the possibility for Luis Enrique to align Lucas Hernandez in the axis could redistribute the cards.
In the meantime, Marquinhos relishes. The two great victories acquired against Lens (3-1) and Lyon (1-4) as well as the vote of his teammates to appoint him captain. Or rather the votes since after a first vote by show of hands, the Brazilian was confirmed in an election by secret ballot.
“The armband has a special flavor. When your teammates choose you as team captain, it means a lot. Everything I do, I don’t do for the cameras. Everything I do is for my teammates, it’s for the club, to lead it in the right direction, did he react to this subject after the meeting against Les Gones.. We make mistakes like everyone else but we don’t hide, we continue to move forward, to work together for the club. That’s what my teammates see in me and I think that’s also why they chose me, for the spirit, for the attitude, always thinking about the collective. And it’s really nice to be chosen as captain by his teammates. »
