Belgium-based Warriors talisman Knowledge Musona is dreaming big, he imagines himself playing alongside Real Madridaï¿½ï¿½s utility player Marcelo Vieira da Silva Junior better known as Marcelo to hordes of football lovers in the world.

Marcelo won Musonaaï¿½ï¿½s admiration after Real Madrid recently beat Bayern Munich 4-2 to advance to the semi-finals of the popular Uefa Champions League. It was a game where famed Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to become the first player to reach 100 Champions League goals.

Referring to Marcelo, Zimbabweaï¿½ï¿½s football wonder boy took to his Twitter handle to express his admiration of Marceloaï¿½ï¿½s type of play.

aï¿½?I want to play with this guy, he knows football too much,aï¿½? read the post that was accompanied by Marceloaï¿½ï¿½s picture.

The post attracted a lot of interest from his followers and one Dennis Zishiri responded and said: aï¿½?You are not bad yourself.aï¿½?

Marcelo (28), also plays for the Brazilian national team. He plays mainly as left back but can also operate as a left winger.

He is frequently compared to former Brazil legendary player Roberto Carlos, who himself said Marcelo was his heir, the worldaï¿½ï¿½s best left back and that:

aï¿½?Marcelo possesses a better technical ability than me.aï¿½?

After his breakthrough season, Marcelo was praised by football legends such as Paolo Maldini and Diego Maradona and who also called him the best in his position.
