Marcelo's wife posts enigmatic Instagram message after UCL exit
Clarice Alves published a quote from US author Marc Chernoff analysing the impact of being surrounded by "negative people".
Real Madrid said farewell to the 2018/19 season at the Santiago Bernabeu last night with the 1-4 defeat to Ajax signalling an exit from the Champions League. The loss comes after two back to back defeats to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey and subsequently in LaLiga on Saturday.
Shortly after the match Marcelo's wife Clarice Alves took to her Instagram account and posted an enigmatic message quoting the words of author Marc Chernoff with many analysts reading between the lines suggesting that Marcelo's time with the club from the capital is coming to an end. The message was also posted with the location visible...Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
"When someone treats you like you’re just one of many options, help them narrow their choice by removing yourself from the equation. Sometimes you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do. Because sometimes you can mean almost nothing to someone who means so much to you.
It’s not pride – it’s self-respect. Don’t expect to see positive changes in your life if you surround yourself with negative people. Don’t give part-time people a full-time position in your life. Know your value and what you have to offer, and never settle for anything less than what you deserve."
Farewell message?
