"Marcos is what you could say … a diamond in the rough. Not that, he needs polishing but rather, that his talent is hidden in plain sight. His studying of European, South American and otherwise, eclectic, football tactics is very apparent when being trained by him. His football knowledge is extensive and of extreme value, especially somewhere like the United States. Being trained by Marcos is something to behold considering the dedication he brings on and off the pitch, a dedication to the sport and to his students. Marcos has a dedication rarely seen in even the best players in the world, so to be taught by him is something any football player would cherish. His style is not always the flashiest, nor is it always the most straightforward. But, neither of those, will get you the goal. Rather, Marcos’s focus is team oriented, positioning yourself correctly, thinking about the next move, and doing the right moves at the right time. What is being trained by Marcos like? What should I compare it to? It is like being a trained by a grandmaster of chess, who is not only studious, and knowledgeable of the game, but also dedicated, focused, intelligent, and persistent. Marcos is one of a kind. To be trained by Marcos, is to be trained by one of footballs most astute and analytical athletes. If any football player were to heeds these words, heed this: Marcos is the man for the job. On and off the pitch.
