Marco Aurélio, full name: Marco Aurélio Brito dos Prazeres, also known as Mehmet Aurélio (born December 15, 1977 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian-Turkish footballer who currently plays for Fenerbahçe.
He played for Flamengo (21 goals in 123 matches) and Olaria (1 goal in 17 matches) in Brazil before moving to Turkey.[1] Then, he joined Turkish side Trabzonspor from Brazilian club Olaria where he played for three years (64 caps, 15 goals).
After his contract expired, he signed for Fenerbahçe. During his spelling in Turkish clubs, he acquired Turkish citizenship [2] in 2006 and consequently adopted the name Mehmet.[3]
Mehmet Aurélio was called up to the Turkish national squad for the first time by the coach Fatih Terim for a friendly match against Luxembourg on August 16, 2006. Thereby, he became the first naturalized player to be capped for Turkey.[4]
On April 26, 2007, after losing a Turkish Cup semi final match against rival team Besiktas J.K., Marco (Mehmet) Aurélio attacked Ricardinho in the parking lot after Ricardinho had allegedly swore at Aurélio. Aurélio was subsequently banned for two matches, missing the league match against Besiktas J.K. [5] [6]
He became Fenerbahçe's vice-captain after the team captain Ümit Özat's transfer to 1. FC Köln and vice-captain Tuncay Sanli's transfer to Middlesbrough F.C. and Rustu Recber's transfer to Besiktas after Alex becoming Fenerbahçe's captain. [7]
He scored his first international goal against Hungary on 12 September 2007 on his twelfth appearance for the national team.[8]
