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]
