Marcelo Martins: "I come to Cerro Porteño to be champion"

 Marcelo Martins was presented this Thursday as a new Cerro Porteño player. At 16:00, Bolivian time, the act began, which was held in the club's offices, which are located in the lower part of the La Nueva Olla stadium, and with the presence of Juan José Zapag, president of the Barça entity.​

“I come to Cerro Porteño to be champion. I want to win it all. Friends and former teammates who played here spoke very highly of the club and the country. That made me accept the offer”, said the Bolivian attacker.

Martins signed a contract with Cerro for two seasons. He arrives at the team from the Obrero neighborhood of the Paraguayan capital after separating from Cruzeiro in Brazil, a club in which he had a contract until the end of the year, but he had to anticipate his departure by not reaching an agreement on a salary reduction that they demanded. .

The former striker from Oriente Petrolero is seduced by winning the Copa Libertadores with the current Paraguayan soccer champion, because that optimism is based on the fact that Francisco 'Chiqui' Arce has a great squad.

“I know the Copa Libertadores and I would like to win it. It is a pending dream. With Cerro we are going to look for it because to get titles you have to have good players and this club has them”, said the striker from Santa Cruz, who in 2008 was the top scorer of the Libertadores with the Cruzeiro shirt.

 Martins also made it clear that he comes to his new team with the desire to earn a position and to contribute with the experience he has accumulated throughout his career.
