In the first half of the match, Marcel's attacking strategy was obvious, as he tried to open up the opponent's defense with eight long-distance passes, a tactic that mirrors his signature style in the Brazilian league. However, the result was somewhat surprising, as only one of the eight passes was successful, a sadly low hit rate. The reason for this is that on the one hand, the cooperation between him and his teammates still needs to be honed, and on the other hand, Taishan's physical fitness slipped significantly in the second half, coupled with the lack of active running of his teammates in front of the field, which jointly led to this situation.
Nevertheless, after the match, Taishan fans showed great recognition to the Marcel, who is only worth 50,000 euros. During the player appreciation session, the fans chanted his name in unison and the scene was enthusiastic. Although the match against Nantong Zhiyun can be seen as a warm-up, the real test is yet to come. In the next match against Henan, Marcel will face the heavy burden of defending Kovic, and in the match against Shanghai Seaport in early August, he will also face the challenge of many offensive players. Marcel's true strength will gradually emerge in the process of facing one strong opponent after another.
