December 6, 1998. Brazil stopped to watch the semi-finals of the Brazilian championship. Needing a draw or a win to take the decision to a third match in the playoffs, Corinthians placed its offensive hopes on the short Edilson and Marcelinho Carioca. Even before the game started, there was already some mischief. Marcelinho started the game with determination. Edilson showed what he was made of... In this match, goalkeeper Zetti starred in a play that will remain in the memory of football fans. And when commentator Casa Grande said one of his stupid things... Before the penalty kick, there was a lot of mischief. What the Santos players didn't know was that Marcelinho was going to take the penalty in a way that would rent a triplex in the Santos fans' heads. The disdain for the penalty kick went down badly with the Santos fans. The next play caused a lot of confusion. And then a Marcelinho escape would end in Narciso's expulsion. With one more player, Corinthians just needed to manage to take the game to the third match. And at that time, it was grassroots football. The coach gave interviews while the game was still going. Marcelinho was the name of the game in the first half, but he still needed to pay back Edilson, who made the penalty kick. In the second half, another monster of this team appeared, the Paraguayan Gamarra. Marcelinho paid back Edilson with a perfect assist and Timão calmed things down. Zetti also made a great save. Extra income. And Vanderlei Luxemburgo continued to give interviews on the sidelines. While Emerson Leão from Santos got irritated with the microphones... Money. And at a time when the referee wouldn't even give extra time if he didn't want to, Timão continued to win the 1998 Brazilian Championship. How to earn in dollars. Is Marcelinho Carioca the greatest idol in Timão's history? For me, he is, and for you. Leave your comment.
