Marcelinho (born Marcelo Pereira Surcin in December 31, 1971) is a famous Brazilian soccer player, possibly the greatest idol of Corinthians. An attacking midfielder, he is noted for his free kick abilities, earning the nickname "Pé-de-Anjo" (Angel Foot).

The most successful player ever to play for Corinthians, he has scored 206 goals in 420 matches from 1994 to 2001. He has collected more trophies with Corinthians than any other player in their history, a total of 8 championships including 1998 and 1999 Brazilian National Championships and the first edition of FIFA Club World Cup, in 2000 .

For all his club achievements, Marcelinho never succeeded in Brazil's national team and never played a FIFA World Cup.

Marcelinho is also well known for his off-field antics, including frequent disputes with coaches (most famously with Vanderlei Luxemburgo), management, and teammates.

Corinthians

After winning 1990 Brazilian Cup, 1991 Rio de Janeiro State Championship and 1992 Brazilian National Championship as a Flamengo player, Marcelinho signed his first contract with Corinthians -- who bought him from Flamengo for US$ 500.000,00 in December 1993. In mid 1997, after winning the Brazilian Cup (Copa do Brasil) and the São Paulo State Championship (Campeonato Paulista), he was sold to Valencia (ESP) for US$ 7,000,000 but unsuccessfully came back to Corinthians in the end of the year. Back to "Parque São Jorge" he was two times champion of the national championship (Campeonato Brasileiro , 98 and 99), one time state champion (2001), and raised the trophy of the first FIFA world club championship in 2000.

The second time he left the team seemed to be for good. After a few conflicts with teammates in mid 2001, he was wrongly accused of denigrating the clubs image, and left the squad. After training alone for some time in the club, he won in justice the opportunity to play for Santos FC, where he stayed for six months. In a legal dispute (for the 2001 incident), Corinthians won in first instance, obliging the player to pay R$9.000.000.

In February 2006, as part of a deal, he signed his third contract with Corinthians but only six months later, as of the arrival and request of manager Émerson Leão, Marcelinho was released.

Trivia

* The dispute between one of the two most memorable players of Corinthians ended with a judicial fight. Ricardinho, unhappy with Marcelinho's attitude, contacted a journalist called Chico Lang. With the repercussions of the fight between Ricardinho and Marcelinho, Ricardinho managed to gain support from all his teammates against Marcelinho. Eventually, Marcelinho could not stand the pressure and left Corinthians in the end of 2001. Curiously, after winning the 2002 regional championship and the National Cup, Ricardinho also left Corinthians, joining rivals São Paulo FC.
