Marcelo was Real Madrid's most decorated player until recently, when Luka Modric succeeded him. The former left-back was one of the best defenders to ever play for Real Madrid, and some would even argue that he is the greatest left-back of all time.
His effect at the club is remarkable. His partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo is one that could inspire countless stories. However, it would be incorrect to say that his effect and presence at the club diminished when he left for another country.
In today's world, Marcelo's kid Enzo Alves has caused havoc among Real Madrid's young levels. He is regarded as a prodigy who has sparked alarm among the club's management.
Enzo Alves might be the next big thing at Real Madrid
Marcelo's son Enzo just signed an official deal with Los Blancos, and his contribution to La Fabrica has been fantastic since.
The 15-year-old has recently been called up to Spain's U17 side. But that's not all. He has quickly advanced through the ranks of La Fabrica, obviously outperforming those in his position.
Despite his youth, the teenager plays as a towering striker at La Fabrica, where he is recognized for his physical boldness and resistance to tackles from much larger and older players. Enzo, 15, stands 1.76 meters tall and is recognized for scoring explosive goals and making sly and brilliant assists.
His usual reputation is that he is too quick and cunning to compete with players his age. He was quickly promoted from the U16 to the U17, and now the U19. Within 5 minutes of his debut with La Fabrica U19, the player gave a back heel assist.
In a recent press conference, Carlo Ancelotti, too, was full of praises for the youngster. The manager said, "He's made a difference. I don't know him very well. I know him because we took photos when he was little. I have a very nice memory with him from the 2014 final, when I took a photo with Marcelo's son and Xabi Alonso's son. It's perfect to take this photo now. The whole club is really excited about him. If he has the quality of his father, bingo!"
At such a young age, capturing the attention of the first team manager is a remarkable achievement. The teenager's future appears to be exceedingly bright, and seemingly from the words of Ancelotti, Real Madrid's trust in Marcelo's son is now unhindered.
