"Marcos bears the name of the neighborhood where he grew up, "Santa Cruz". The Santa Cruz burg is a well known area of Rio de Janeiro's west zone, famed for its hard hard working environment and population. Growing up de Oliveira used to see people queueing for the busses to go to work at 4:30am, often only returning to their homes after 10pm. This struggle encouraged Marcos to push forward, becoming a part of his work ethics, and for that reason his name stuck throughout his career."
