Name: Roberto Carlos (r_carlos)
Nationality: Brazil
Position: Defender
Date of Birth: 1973 April 10, 2019
Height: 168 cm
Weight: 70 kg
Current playing club: Real Madrid
Previously played for the club : Sao Paulo United Palmeiras (Brazil) Inter Milan
Brilliant Record
Roberto Carlos is considered the best left back in the world. His most famous goal is The French goal in the 1997 Coupe de France, when he kicked a seemingly impossible goal with the outside of his famous left foot from 40 meters away, the ball swerving to the right of the French wall. , and flew into the goal past the French goalkeeper Barthez. In fact, Robert Carlos's free kick was not successful, but the power of the ball alone was enough to scare the players on the wall.
In 1996, Carlos moved to Europe to play football. He first went to Inter Milan, but the next year he went to Real Madrid in Spain, where he won two European Champions Cup championships, namely in 1998 The European Champions Cup champion in 2000 and 2000
Carlos's weakness is generally considered to be defense. This is due to his lack of focus on defense, but in fact it is not easy to break through his defense. He is also quite famous for his tackles.
He is best at using his speed to get rid of opposing players and get the ball forward quickly. His stamina is also incredible and looks incredible. He can sprint for the entire 90 minutes of the game.
In the summer of 1996, the Spanish super team Real Madrid spared no expense, waving their checkbooks and snapping up all kinds of football heroes, intending to buy all the football heroes suitable for the new coach. AC Milan's famous coach Fabio Capello's tactical plan attracted outstanding players. In this way, Roberto Carlos, a Brazilian little man who is almost unknown in Spain, appeared on Capello's purchase list. At that time, the young Carlos was making great achievements for Inter Milan, but everything that happened later proved that Real Madrid's huge investment in signing was indeed a wise move.
A successful transfer<. /p>
After one season, the Real Madrid club deeply realized that it was extremely lucky to get a player like Carlos. You know, before signing with him, Mr. Lorenzo Sanz, the president of the club, had nothing but respect for him. He was a left-back and had a fierce and powerful shot. He had heard about it and almost didn't know anything about it at that time. The most important thing for Mr. Sands was that Carlos' transfer fee must be within the club's budget, that is, it should not exceed 5 million.
In July last year, tens of thousands of Madrid fans and spectators gathered at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to watch Real Madrid's stars before their first performance of the new season. Dov, Yugoslav striker Mijatovic and Croatian sharp-shooter Suker have always been talked about. However, after that game, Carlos, who was not expected by people at first, and the team's young star Raul ·Gonzalez has become the idol and hero in the hearts of the club's fans and the undisputed pillar of the team. He has made great achievements for the team to lead the team again in La Liga.
As the first Brazilian star of Real Madrid, he demonstrated his superb skills and excellent physical fitness on the court. His extraordinary football talent allowed him to gain a foothold in Spain. In this way, this outstanding player finally won the praise of many discerning fans in the "Bullfighting Kingdom".
Amazing footwork
Call it a gift from God, destiny or just plain good luck, the genetics and energy that Ronald Carlos inherited from his parents brought football to the world. A new star has arrived, and it's not a striker. When Real Madrid's doctors analyzed and tested him, they were amazed by his good physical fitness. Another of his more notable specialties is the shape of his thighs.
Many fans were disappointed because when they measured their thigh muscles, they were nowhere near Ronaldo's amazing 58cm.
His thigh muscles are like this, and his playing style was finalized in his childhood (solid technical skills and fine footwork). He is the main defender of the Brazilian national team and has played for Flamengo and Torino. Unsurprisingly, the left-footed striker has a lot of power on goal. What Real Madrid fans know is that when Ronaldo Carlos was playing for Inter Milan, he shot at a speed of up to 150 kilometers per hour, which made them sigh. Spanish fans didn't have to wait long to catch a glimpse of Ronaldo Carlos. In the third game of the 1996-97 season against Real Madrid, he scored a key goal. The ball speed was 140 kilometers per hour. The young Brazil international is a super all-around athlete, running the 100 meters in under 11 seconds.
In addition, he is very competitive and always wants to win the game. He constantly puts pressure on the opponent's defense. In some key games last season, Real Madrid relied on Carlos to turn the tide from defeat. He inspired his teammates to believe that they could get more.
Roberto Carlos performed brilliantly in the French Four Nations Invitational Tournament in July and scored against the Italian team (two goals behind, 3:3). Club president Sanz admitted that signing Roberto Carlos was indeed a wise move and a good investment. After last season, I couldn't wait to renew my contract with him. It turns out that the contract may be extended to take effect in June 2000. A clause in the contract clearly states that the athlete can leave as long as the club is given a liquidated damages of 100 million.
A kind soul
The positive side of Roberto Carlos is that his good deeds are not just what he does on the pitch. Many times he showed that he also cared about the oppressed. The humble family environment in which he was born and raised left a deep imprint on his character. He openly stated that he had few toys as a child because his family was poor at the time and his parents did not have enough money to buy them for him. The first training session he was in, he stood out and stayed for 45 minutes. After training, he signed people's photos, and the other team members didn't give up until he signed everyone's name within 10 minutes. No wonder he quickly won the hearts of fans.
He has strong religious beliefs and often reads the Bible aloud. Believing that all the good things he experienced in life were a gift from God. His greatest concern was for his charming wife Alexander and their two daughters Roberta and Giovanna. He spent almost all his spare time with them. When he can find time in his busy schedule. It sounds impossible that a Real Madrid player can go to the ticket office and chat with the fans, but that's one of the things he does.

Future star Marcelo is known as Carlos' successor.
Without much effort or transfer fee, Marcelo became the first player to join Real Madrid this winter. Chairman Calderon described him as: "A child who can bring fresh air and happiness to Real Madrid." Although most Spaniards are not familiar with this little man, in Brazil, people are used to calling Marcelo For "Carlos II".
Marcelo was born into a poor family. He entered the Frominense Club for football training at the age of nine and entered the youth team at the age of 13. Marcelo almost ended his football career because his family could not afford the bus fare to the club. In the end, Frominense solved the transportation problem for him, and Marcelo was able to continue playing football. After the World Cup, he was selected for Dunga's national team.
Marcelo is not tall (1.74 meters), but his speed and shooting are outstanding, so he was praised as "Carlos II". Like Cicinho, he was also a midfielder in his early career. Later, the coach considered that his speed was more conducive to attacking in the back row, so he switched to the left back and became famous in one fell swoop. In the Brazilian League this season, Marcelo scored 6 goals in 30 appearances. After being selected for the Brazilian national team, Marcelo scored his first goal for the national team in the match against Wales.
The first time Spanish fans learned about Marcelo was through the "Marca" newspaper a few days ago. This was also the first time he accepted an exclusive interview with the Madrid media after confirming that he would join Real Madrid. Marcelo is shy by nature and defines himself as a "shy" boy. He also regards Ronaldo and Emerson as his idols. "I feel comfortable only when playing football. I like the feeling of the ball under my feet. People who know me well know that I am a very well-behaved child. I play hard to repay my parents. I also bought a basketball for my father. It's a very ordinary car, neither a sports car nor a luxury car," Marcelo said.
"I like Ronaldinho because his skills are so good. But Ronaldo is another idol of mine. I admire his courage to get rid of injuries and become a great player again. I also like Emerson "I know he has been criticized in Spain, but he will prove his worth very quickly," Marcelo continued, "Robinho told me everything about Real Madrid when he was in the national team. , we are good friends. But I don’t know Carlos and I can’t wait to meet him. He is still the best left back in the world and I have a lot to learn from him.”

In the opinion of many experts, he has all the conditions to succeed in Boca's first team.
Although he plays as a defensive midfielder, Gago has the skills of a No. 10 player. Riquelme, the national team’s core midfielder who also grew up in Boca, also started in the defensive midfielder position. Later he switched to attacking midfielder. From a characteristic point of view, Gago, who has excellent skills but no physical strength advantage, also had the same conditions to switch to the attacking midfielder position. However, Gago did not choose No. 10 in the end, but stuck to the defensive midfielder position. The reason is very simple. "I like the position of the defensive midfielder. If I have to move at the front of the opponent's penalty area like the front midfielder, I will feel very uncomfortable." Having an excellent technical foundation has also allowed Gago to form his own characteristics and advantages in the defensive midfielder position. Just a few simple passes can speed up the entire team's offensive tempo.
Batista, the main defensive midfielder when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, said of Gago: "His biggest advantage is the same as mine, which is his excellent positioning sense. In my opinion, his reaction and performance His foot speed is even faster. He is one of the few players who knows where to move the ball next before catching the ball. He can comfortably send the ball to his teammates without making adjustments. I was very optimistic about him when he was in the Parque team. Now he is very mature in Boca and looks like a 30-year-old veteran, but he still lacks in scoring ability. ”
Gago, who was born in 1986, started playing in a small team close to home when he was 4 years old. He joined the Parque team at the age of 6 and was later discovered to join Boca Juniors.
During this period, Gago also experienced a period of ups and downs. When he was in the Boca 9 team, Gago was once the only player in the team who did not improve. The somewhat discouraged Gago even gave up and wanted to say goodbye to football. Later, he became a coach. With the patient persuasion, Gago stayed. With the goal of being selected for the first team and the national team, Gago then began to grow at an astonishing speed. He began to be hailed as one of the most promising new stars in the Boca team. In order to promote his growth, Gago received the usual treatment of training with the first team last season, only returning to his original team on weekends to participate in fifth-line team games.
In 2003, Gago represented the under-17 National Youth Team in the World Youth Championship, but at that time he was only one of the team's main substitute players. In 2004, Gago was selected for the National Youth Team under the age of 20 for several training sessions, but was ultimately not selected for the national youth team squad that participated in the South American Championship in January this year. Tokali chose the midfielder position with experience in many first-team games. of Torres and Biglia. However, if Gago can maintain the current momentum and continue to perform well, he is very hopeful to represent Argentina in this year's World Youth Championship.
Gago’s first appearance on behalf of Boca’s first team was four months ago. On December 5, 2004, in the 18th round of the AFC Spring League, Boca challenged Guilmez away from home. In order to prepare for the South American Cup final, head coach Benitez used many young players in the league. Gago was in this game. In the game, he played for the first time on behalf of the Boca first team
