Just like most international tourneys. There is qualification across the world in their different regions (Europe has 4, Asia and Africa has 3.5 each, South and North America has 2 and Oceania has 1.) with the only catch being it's an Under 23 tournament although one is allowed 3 players over 23 in the squad. 16 teams qualify with 4 groups of 4, similar to the European Championships.

All in all, a standard tourney...

I'm reacting at the "a piece of madridismo died"

I'd understand if it was Messi that became our captain... But it's Marcelo FFS. That comment was beyond retardedness.

What if I tell you that I think your reaction is beyond retardedness? If you think Marcelo will carry Madridismo in a more fitting and honourable way as a captain than Higuain or anyone else, your opinion doesnt count for much.

In no way did I say Marcelo is a better captain. I said he is more deserving. And he is.

And your comment is retarded becouse you're saying that a PIECE OF MADRIDISMO DIED when Marcelo became our captain. I think that comment is extremly retarded. Like I said before, it's not Messi, it's Marcelo the hardcore madridista.

The word DIED scares you? Ok, so sorry, ill change it. It went to sleep for a long, long time.

i really cant comprehend why someone would be so mad to see marcelo being 3rd captain..seriously

you also have to understand that higuain isnt even a starter

Attitude wise Casillas and Xabi should be our captains. Kaka is too calm for my taste.

Hero wise there is Ramos, Pepe is too much of a hot head even tho i like him. He could easily knock someone down instead of argue.

And we got Marcelo the artist, a mix between Pepe and Casillas.

But there is almost no point in argueing this since Casillas startas all games except CDR and if he ain't available Ramos is there for the taking.

Real Madrid defender Marcelo could be set to clash with manager Jose Mourinho over his inclusion in Brazil's Olympics squad, according to AS.

Selecao coach Mano Menezes has placed the left-back on his shortlist ahead of the tournament, where he would take up one of the squad's three over-23 slots.
However, the 24-year-old's involvement in London 2012 would see him miss all of Real Madrid's pre-season schedule, including a tour of the United States.

Despite representing Brazil at the last Olympics in 2008, Marcelo has made no secret of his desire to win gold at the event, after only securing a bronze medal in Beijing.

Menezes has now revealed he will contact Mourinho, via telephone, to discuss his Olympic plans and ask the Real Madrid manager's permission to include the Brazil international.

Should Brazil reach the competition's final, Marcelo would only return a week prior to the new Liga season's kick-off on August 18.

i could see marcelo ditching the olympics to play preseason tbh- as rash as that sounds..

he has faked injury to stay in madrid in the past (instead of international duty)

and his position is really at jeopardy if coentrao continues to impress.

by buddytaller Wed Jul 04, 2012 9:37 pm

He'll go to the Olympics, there's nothing like competitive fixtures to keep you in shape for the next season, and it is the dream of his nation to win their first Olympic gold medal in football.

he has said 100 times he wants to go

by VanDeezNuts Wed Jul 04, 2012 10:40 pm

well he shouldnt be surprised to be sitting on the bench in favor of coentrao if coentrao continues to have a good preseason then if he goes to the olympics..

by buddytaller Wed Jul 04, 2012 10:44 pm

Mourinho loves Marcelo, he'll have his place as soon as he returns, Mourinho once described Coentrao as the "Portuguese Marcelo", even before Marcelo had played a match for Mourinho.

by Ganso Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:00 pm

if marcelo does get benched,ill find it very unfair,specially if we win the golden medal and he performs well meanwhile Coentrao is playing useless friendlies.I know Coentrao had a great Euro but in theory marcelo would get benched because he isnt going to be in pre season not because of the lack of quality.

by S32TABLANCA Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:03 pm

Marcelo should go the the Olympics, so what if he has to win back his spot temporarily. We know he has the quality. In the meantime, Coentrao is a very good LB who will keep the spot safe for us Very Happy

Marca:

Marcelo is going to the London Olympic Games with Brazil. The Brazilian coach, Mano Menezes officially announced yesterday his final squad list, which included the Real Madrid left-back as one of the players aged over 23 called up. The other two are Thiago Silva and Hulk.

The player has known for a few days that he had Real Madrid’s permission to take part in the games. Real had no issues with the defender joining up with his national team, even if the Olympic tournament coincides almost exactly with Jose Mourinho’s team’s tour of the United States, where the most important of the club’s pre-season will take place.

In addition, there is no clash of schedules - the final game of the Olympic tournament is to be played on 11th August, the same day as the final game of Real Madrid’s US tour (against Celtic in Philadelphia).

Finally, the club took into consideration the player’s wishes. He is especially excited at the prospect of a once in a lifetime experience with his national team. It must be remembered that the Olympic gold is the only title missing from the Brazilian national team’s extensive trophy cabinet.

Marca:

Marcelo attended the press the day before facing Honduras in the quarterfinals of the Olympic tournament and did not hesitate to praise his captain at Real Madrid, Iker Casillas, considering that "it is time to be given the Golden Ball" .

The Brazilian praised Casillas from London. "It takes years He divided the best goalkeeper in the world and it is time to be given the Golden Ball," he said.

Marcelo also spoke about the future of two of his countrymen, Kaka and Neymar. Regarding the first, said he "looks like good news if he stays, but to talk about signings Florentino must call."

On his Olympic team mate, Neymar, sought by Real Madrid and Barcelona, among others, said his sense is that "will stay in Brazil until 2014."

Finally, Marcelo also had words for all Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, who he said has "learned a lot.
