Currently at the head of Internacional, Roger Machado participated in an interview on the “Vozes Do Gigante” channel, in which he shared his impressions on the big names in the history of Colorada.

The absence of D’Alessandro, who wore the international shirt 10 for over a decade, has generated immediate repercussions on social networks.
The names mentioned by Roger Machado were Falcão, Fernandão and Rubén Paz.

Rubén Paz is also recognized as D’Alessandro’s personal idol.
“Falcão, Fernandão without a doubt. I saw when I came to go to the games and now I found in Uruguay: Rubén Paz.”
During the chat, Roger also highlighted professionals who influenced his trajectory. Among the coaches you admire most, said Tite, Jorge Jesus and Evaristo De Macedo. Already among the players who have marked his career, he mentioned Palhinha, with whom he starred at the end of the 90s, Douglas, at the beginning of his walk as Coach and Alan Patrick, current T -shirt of Inter.
“Wanted with a straw [no Grêmio, no fim dos anos 90] As a player, one of the cracks. At the beginning of your career [como técnico] In Grêmio, I worked with Douglas who was an extraclass. Now I’m working with Alan [Patrick]. Alanpa is sensational. “
In addition, Roger revealed that if he could choose any player to create a team, he would have hired Lionel Messi. The coach has still left a message for young people who dream of becoming professionals in football: “The talent that does not come alone, has a lot of dedication and resilience. But it is possible when we dream well agreed”.
