The Reds' has announced that they've signed Marcelino Junior Lopes Arruda or also known as Mazola to a one year loan deal. Mazola, who comes courtesy of Sao Paulo FC, is a 21 year old Brazilian who's capable of either playing striker or left winger.
So with Mazola's signing the Reds have filled all their foreign spots with another Brazilian (3 international + 1 AFC player). The big question though is how does Mazola fit into the grand scheme of things. Is he going to partner Eji up front, be his back up or be pushed wide. Did the Reds' really need another striker, or an attacking player in general?m The way I'm picturing the squad taking shape, I'd see us employ a 4-2-3-1 formation; but more on that another time.
The big plus with signing Mazola is that he wants to be with the Reds. He has even stated that his prefered destination has always been Japan and with the Reds, especially after what Washington (former Urawa stiker) told him about Japan and Urawa (link). One thing is for sure, this sweet talker has already won some fans over; hopefully his action will speak louder then his words.
