The player was seriously injured and thought about ending professional performances.
Marlos considered ending his career. This was stated in an interview with Globoesporte by the president of Brazilian Atlético Paranaense, Mario Celso Petralle.
According to him, the 34-year-old former midfielder of the Ukrainian national team and Shakhtar Donetsk could take such a step due to ongoing injuries.
“This guy was always on top. But he was injured, came to talk to the club and announced his intention to stop playing. Marlos said he could be injured more often and not be as useful as data.
But we do not accept these arguments. He is an Atlético player, he wants to be here and he will continue to play for the team.
There is a risk that he will retire for personal reasons and there is no way we can stop that. As long as Marlos is under control, he has recovered and is ready to leave. There’s no point in talking about him leaving the club, ”Petraglie said.
