The moment was special for Marcos Camozzato. The former Standard defender was back in Sclessin for the Circus Cup on Sunday. He also scored in the penalty shootout against one of his legends, former AC Milan goalkeeper Dida.
“Dida is one of the greatest Brazilian goalkeepers, and he was very good at taking penalties. I told him afterwards that it was very special to score against him. When I was little, I followed his career. was one of the greatest goalkeepers in the world” declared the former Brazilian full-back at the microphone of Walfoot.be.
Dante, the example of Marcos
However, Marcos never had the opportunity to play on the same team as Dida. The Brazilian who had the most impact on him, the one who also wore the colors of Club Brugge, met him in Sclessin, in the person of Costa Santos Bonfim Dante.
“I would say it’s Dante, the former Standard player. He’s still playing! His mentality and his technical quality are fantastic! He’s a player that young people should follow, because his mentality really makes the difference. “
Dante who has just extended his contract at Nice, which he should honor almost until he turns 42. “It’s not just playing, it’s also the high level. He’s still playing at a high level at almost 41 years old!”
I think Argentina is stronger than Brazil.”
During this interview, we also asked Marcos about Brazil’s chances at the Copa America, which will be held this summer. Neymar will miss the competition, Lucas Paqueta is at the heart of a match-fixing scandal, but Marcos is not worried about his country.
“It’s a difficult moment, there are a lot of changes in the national team. I think Argentina are stronger than Brazil, but we still have a lot of quality. Watch the Europa League final from Ederson, the midfielder, it was magnificent.”
“We have a lot of young players arriving and others who are already there. We have a new core, of 23 to 25 players, with 15-20 other players who are claiming a place. It’s difficult to play everyone the world.”
