On the secret of his quick alignment with the team, Malcom replied: “As I said before, I am someone who loves banter and laughter, so the adaptation was easy because there were so many colleagues who exchanged talk and laughter.”

On his Al-hilal football, Brazilian Malcom said: “I started with the Corinthians in Brazil, I entered the team at the age of 10, I succeeded in only 3 children out of 100 who applied for the test, I stayed at the club until the age of 16, then I escalated the first team, and then moved to France and me 18 to professionalize in Bordeaux.”
Malcom continued: “Then I moved to Barcelona, and it was a dream for me because many players dream of wearing this team shirt, and then I went to the Russian Zenit team for 4 years until 2023, and then I decided to have a great experience with the crescent right now.”
“Saudi players are very skilled, I feel like they are similar to Brazilians in skill, I see a lot of Brazilian football here Saudi Arabia.
Malcom praised his compatriot Neymar for describing him as his ideal in the stadiums, explaining: “We are closer now, he is a great man with a great personality, who helps me a lot as well as Michel, and we learn from the person most experienced than us, and a great honor to follow him closely and liaise with him in one team.”
