The Brazilian left-back emphasized that this season’s league campaign is far from over for Real Madrid and that they are willing to take their chances despite having dropped a significant number of points.
Real Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 opined regarding the title race in the Spanish La Liga, emphasizing that there is still a long way to go in the season.
According to the Brazilian international, nothing can be concluded at the moment as there is still a lot to play for in the 2012/13 La Liga season.
He stressed that Los Blancos still have a shot at the title as they can still make the best out of the games left to play.
Jose Mourinho’s men have already dropped 8 points in the Spanish Primera so far, whereas their rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, have managed to drop only 2. Nevertheless, Marcelo is confident that his team can manage a comeback.
The Brazilian international made the statement following Sunday’s El Clasico which ended in a 2-2 draw.
The match that took place at the Nou Camp saw the two Spanish giants equally divide their exploits after a massively competitive encounter. Both, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, scored 2 goals each for their respective teams.
Although a victory would certainly be more favourable for Los Vikingos, Marcelo appeared to be pleased with the draw.
"Camp Nou is a really difficult stadium to win in,” Marcelo told the press after the match. “I'm really glad because we have fought hard and made a great effort, so I'm satisfied.”
"We had our chances, but we couldn't score – we've won games in the past with fewer chances, but the draw is not a bad result.”
Continuing the discussion, the 24-year-old kept on insisting that Madrid can still bounce back in the title race.
“It's going to be hard to overtake Barcelona, but we we'll work hard to reduce the gap,” he went on. “La Liga is not over, it's too soon to say that. Eight points is a big difference, but nothing is decided yet.”
Last season saw the Santiago Bernabeu outfit lift their 32nd Spanish La Liga trophy as they finally managed to break Barcelona’s dominance over the Iberian Peninsula. However, the competition is expected to increase as the current season progresses.
