Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior (born 12 May 1988) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team. Marcelo is said to be gifted with great technical ability, a fierce shot, and good passing. Mainly a left back, he can also operate as a left winger.

Very often compared to Roberto Carlos, Marcelo was named as Roberto Carlos heir by Roberto Carlos himself and said "Marcelo possesses a better technical ability than me," and also called Marcelo the world's best at his position. ^[2]

After his breakthrough season, Marcelo was praised by footballs legends such as Paolo Maldini^[3] and Diego Maradona,^[4] who also called him the best at his position.

Club career[link]

Fluminense[link]

Marcelo started playing futsal at the age of nine and by the age of 13, he was on the books of Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro. He comes from a very poor background and even considered quitting football, but his club considered him as one of their "crown jewels" and ensured that he continued playing.

Real Madrid[link]

Marcelo joined Real Madrid during the January transfer window in 2007. On his arrival, club President Ramón Calderón said, "He is an important signing for us. He is a young player who will inject some freshness into the side and is part of our plan to bring younger players into the squad. We're very happy because he's a pearl that half of Europe wanted."^[5] Many spectators hailed him as Roberto Carlos' potential successor in the left-back role.

Marcelo made his debut as a substitute in the 2–0 defeat against Deportivo La Coruña on 7 January 2007.^[6] On 14 April 2007, then coach Fabio Capello gave Marcelo his first start for Real Madrid against Racing de Santander. Real Madrid controversially lost the game 2–1.^[7] In the 2007–08 season, Marcelo had started nearly all of Madrid's league games under the new manager Bernd Schuster. His ability, speed running across the field, attack, and defence had enabled him to become a very important player for Real Madrid.

After a string of poor performances in 2009, Marcelo found himself on the bench for much of the remaining season while under new manager Juande Ramos, mainly as deputy to the more defensive-minded Gabriel Heinze. Ramos deployed Marcelo as a winger on more than one occasion, and the Brazilian adapted well to his new role. He scored his first goal after receiving a heel flick from striker Gonzalo Higuaín and slotting the ball past the goalkeeper in Madrid's 4–0 thumping of Sporting de Gijón. After the game, coach Ramos declared that Marcelo's future would be positioned as a winger, but will push back to defense when required. Marcelo scored his second goal for Real Madrid in a victory over Almería, a powerful strike from outside of the box with his weaker right foot.

On 18 April 2009, he scored his third goal of his Real Madrid career, when he scored the only goal of the game against Recreativo de Huelva away from home.^[8] He scored his fourth goal against Sevilla at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in April 2009.

2009–10 season[link]

Under the next head coach Manuel Pellegrini, Marcelo consistently featured in the starting XI for his versatility and pace along the left flank in offensive and defensive roles. He continued to be employed as a left-winger under Pellegrini, and reached the top of the assist charts of La Liga in the 2009–10 season. He admitted in a press conference at the end of 2009, "I now feel better playing as a winger." ^[9] His successful performance in Madrid's 2008–10 campaign earned him a contract extension on 5 February 2010 with the club until June 2015.^[10]This season proved to be his break-through season at the club.

Breakthrough season: 2010–11[link]

In the 2010–11 season under new coach José Mourinho, Marcelo was back in his natural position of left back. He has started all league games, paying back the coach's confidence in him with defensive steel and attacking intent and gained the coach's admiration.^[11] On 25 November 2010, Marcelo was named as a part of the 55 player shortlist for the FIFA World XI. He scored his first goal of the new season in a 1–0 win against Espanyol on 13 February.^[12] He had a terrific match against Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League. Showing his attacking flair and defensive skills, he opened the scoring with his first-ever Champions League goal and assisted Karim Benzema's goal, at the end he was named man of the match, of which Real went on to win 3–0, and progressed to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2004.^[13] Marcelo then continued his fine season by scoring in the second leg against Barcelona in the Camp Nou. The game ended 1–1. Marcelo's successful campaign in the Champions League has earned him a starting spot in UEFA's starting XI. Marcelo was heavily praised by the worldwide media this season, and many called him the best left back in the world. Diego Maradona said he was the third best player in La Liga, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.^[14]

2011–12 season[link]

Marcelo was sent off on 17 August 2011 at Madrid's 3–2 loss to Barcelona. On 3 December 2011, Marcelo scored Madrid's third goal in a 3–0 victory over Sporting de Gijón in La Liga.

Paolo Maldini gave credits to Marcelo and called him the current left back, "who is a great attacker and a defender, a specialist of both areas".^[15]

Roberto Carlos named Marcelo as the worlds best left back, saying. “He had more ability than me with the ball and he joins in better,” and even called him his heir. ^[16] Marcelo had shown great performances as a left back, such as in the Champions League quarter-finals against APOEL Nicosia, while entering as a substitute in the 75th minute for Fábio Coentrão.

International career[link]

Marcelo scored on his Brazil debut against Wales at Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane (the scored finished 2–0). He picked up the ball just outside the Wales box and shot for a traditional Brazilian full back goal. Marcelo has become one of the preferred choices of Brazil's football coach Dunga. Marcelo has recently been compared to former Real Madrid and Brazilian national team left-back Roberto Carlos. The two had played together during the second half of the 2006–07 season before Carlos' move to Turkish team Fenerbahçe.

He was called up for the 2008 Olympic squad, where he won a bronze medal.

Marcelo was called up for the 12 August 2009 match against Estonia but had to withdraw due to injury. In May 2010, he was named as one of the seven players serving as backup for Brazil's 2010 FIFA World Cup squad.^[17] Despite not being called up by then Brazil coach Dunga, he was selected again by new boss Mano Menezes for a friendly against the United States on August 10, 2010. Marcelo got called up for a friendly against Mexico where he was named Man of the Match and scored a wondergoal where he dribbled past several players and then blasting the goal into the net.

Style of play[link]

Marcelo is one from the best left backs in the world. He is known for his techinque with the ball and his overlapping runs, and he's also very good to his defending, making him crucial for any team in the world.

Personal life[link]

In 2008, Marcelo married his longtime girlfriend Clarisse Alves, and on 24 September 2009, they had their first child, a son named Enzo Alves Vieira.^[18][19] Marcelo shares a good friendship with club mates Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Fábio Coentrão and is commonly involved in their special celebrations after scoring a goal. He has a number of tattoos, including his shirt number and day of birth (12) tattood onto his left arm.^[20]

His grandfather Pedro is also tattoed on his arm. San Pedro is his grandfather who paid the money so he could keep playing football back in Brazil. He dedicates every goal to him and his wife. He said for Real Madrid TV that if it wasn't for Pedro he would have never played football for Fluminese.

On 26 July 2011 Marcelo went to the Alcobendas court. He thusly attained Spanish nationality, which allows him to no longer take up a 'player from outside the EU' place on the Real Madrid squad after completing four years playing for the team.

Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (June 13, 1908 – March 6, 1992) was a Portuguese-French abstractionist painter.

Life[link]

Vieira da Silva was born in Lisbon, Portugal. At the age of eleven she had begun seriously studying drawing and painting at that city's Academia de Belas-Artes. In her teen years she studied painting with Fernand Léger, sculpture with Antoine Bourdelle, and engraving with Stanley William Hayter, all masters in their respective fields. She also created textile designs.

By 1930 Vieira da Silva was exhibiting her paintings in Paris; that same year she married the Hungarian painter Árpád Szenes. After a brief sojourn back in Lisbon and a period spent in Brazil during World War II (1940–1947), Vieira da Silva lived and worked in Paris the rest of her life. She adopted French citizenship in 1956. Vieira da Silva received the French government's Grand Prix National des Arts in 1966, the first woman so honored. She was named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1979. She died in Paris, France on March 6, 1992.

Work[link]

By the late 1950s Vieira da Silva was internationally known for her dense and complex compositions, influenced by the art of Paul Cézanne and the fragmented forms, spatial ambiguities, and restricted palette of cubism and abstract art. She is considered to be one of the most important Post-War abstract artists although she is not a "pure" abstract painter. Her work is related to French Tachisme, American Abstract expressionism, and Surrealism—as were many of her contemporaries who were painting in Post-War Paris during the mid to late 1940s and early 1950s. Her paintings often resemble mazes, cities seen in profile or from high above or even library shelves in what seems to be an allegory to a never-ending search for Knowledge or the Absolute.

Árpád Szenes-Vieira da Silva Foundation, Lisbon

She exhibited her work widely, winning a prize for painting at the São Paulo Art Biennial in São Paulo in 1961.

She decorated in 1988 the new Cidade Universitária subway station of Lisbon with azulejo panels.

In November 1994, the Árpád Szenes-Vieira da Silva Foundation was inaugurated in Lisbon, a museum that displays a large collection of paintings by both artists.

Her name sometimes appears written as Maria Elena Vieira da Silva, but the correct version, in Portuguese, is Maria Helena Vieira da Silva.

Louis (Jean Baptiste) Cahuzac (12 July 1880 – 9 August 1960)^[1] was a French clarinetist and composer. Cahuzac was an outstanding performer and one of the few clarinetists who made a career as a soloist in the first part of the 20th century.

Life and career[link]

Louis Cahuzac was born in Quarante, in Languedoc, in the south of France. His teachers were Felix Pagès in Toulouse conservatoire and Cyrille Rose in Paris conservatoire.

Cahuzac made the first recording of Carl Nielsen's Clarinet Concerto, a piece originally written for the Danish clarinetist Aage Oxenvad. On 22 November 1956, at the age of 76, he recorded the Clarinet Concerto in A major by Paul Hindemith for the EMI music label under the composer's baton.^[2]

He was a great teacher also and many students became famous like Yona Ettlinger, Hans Rudolph Stadler,Gervase de Peyer, André Boutard (Paris Opera) or Gilbert Voisin (Geneva international prize winner in 1950) and Palle Nehammer. Cahuzac died at Bagnères-de-Luchon.

Compositions[link]

His compositions were mainly for the clarinet and all are inspired by his native region in Southern France^[3]:

• In the Fantaisie sur un vieil air champêtre the theme is introduced by the piano, followed by a dazzling cadenza. This is followed by four variations exploring the full resources of the clarinet.
• Arlequin for solo clarinet evokes Harlequin, one of the characters in the Italian commedia del arte.
• The Pastorale cévenole as well as Cantilène radiate with the Mediterranean light of his beloved southern France and echo-type effects suggest open, mountainous spaces.
• His Variations sur un air du pays d'Oc (Variations on a tune from the South of France) is a set of four variations on Se Canto, a song from the valley of the Garonne.
