"I'm the best left-back in the world", says Marcelo

In an interview with Globoesporte, Marcelo confirmed that he hopes to "get back to training with my team-mates at Real Madrid in January. I was very scared, because during the first few days I had no feeling in my foot, my legs were trembling and I felt terrible, but little by little I am getting better".
He was carried off with a broken toe on 14th October, while he was training with the Brazilian national team. After several tests, he was successfully operated on by Doctor Niek van Dijk.
Marcelo has not lost one ounce of his motivation and confidence, and confirmed that "I still consider myself the best left-back in the world. I have to do this - to go on believing in myself and return to the side with more ambition than ever. I am dying to play again".
Specifically, Marcelo tries to think about one of his idols when trying to get back on the pitch as soon as possible. "I always watched Roberto Carlos. I was with him at Real Madrid for six months, and he taught me a lot. He is a great point of reference for me, and I want to be like him. Even today when I meet him I get nervous".
If all goes well, Marcelo could be playing again by the end of the year, or at the beginning of 2013, and aiming to be fully fit by February, when the Champions League will once again be occupying a lot of Real Madrid’s time, with the start of the knock-out phase.
