Certainly, October 4, 2020 will be forever marked in the life of young Marcos Leonardo, a 17-year-old forward and another promising young man from the Santos quarry.
Author of Peixe’s third goal in the 3-2 win over Goiás, Menino da Vila scored for the first time as a professional player.
– Only God knows all the suffering that my family and I go through. It is an immense happiness. My father’s dream was to be a player, so this is not just for me. I’ve always been a dreamer – celebrated Marcos Leonardo.

With the absence of Raniel, who underwent surgery on his right leg for a deep vein thrombosis, Marcos Leonardo can gain more and more space. It is the immediate reserve of Kaio Jorge, another Menino da Vila.
Against Goiás, the boy showed opportunism and took advantage of Madson’s center to score Santos’ third goal. Watch:

Technician Cuca, who launched the player, showed emotion with the moment lived by the jewel.
– I have given him peace of mind so that he can play, not only for him, for everyone. When I put Marinho inside it was to release him. I sacrificed the tips more, but they had attack strength. When we put Madson in it was to have that strength on the right side. When Marinho left, Marcos Leonardo naturally entered. I think I’m happier than him for scoring the first goal. Imagine the anxiety, a 17-year-old boy scoring the first goal. You can go back in time. I’m so happy, God is blessing the work of these guys so much, we were very happy – said the coach.
Marcos Leonardo also thanked Cuca, whom he considers a “great dad”. The forward has played five games with Santos’ professional team so far, one of them as a starter.
– Cuca for us is a great dad. To thank you, all the commission that helped me since my arrival.
Goiânia, Sunday, October 4, 2020. Today was the day I scored my first professional goal. A child’s dream finally realized. I have many thanks for doing: the family members who always believed in me, Santos FC for the opportunity to play for the best team in the world, my friends and teammates, for their support at all times, to all those who support me, Santista Nation, I leave my thanks here. God is wonderful, without Him I would not be here, making another dream come true, another goal. THANK YOU GOD, This is Santos ⚪️⚫️🤩🙏🏻 #ML #juntossomosmaisfortes
