Former. The left-back, his most famous goal was the one that scored in the French Cup in 1997. He kicked a seemingly impossible goal with the outside of his famous left foot 4 meters away. The ball suddenly turned on the right side of the French team's human wall and flew over the French goalkeeper fabien barthez into the goal. In fact, Roberto Carlos' free kick is not successful, but the power of the ball alone is enough to scare the players in the wall.
In p>1996, Carlos moved to Europe to play football. He first went to Inter Milan, but the next year he went to Real Madrid, Spain, where he won the European Champions Cup twice, in 1998 and 2.
Carlos' weakness is generally considered to be defense, which is due to his lack of concentration on defense, but actually it is not easy to break through his defense, and his tackle is also quite famous.
what he is good at is to use his speed to get rid of the opposing players and move forward, and quickly bring the ball to the front line. His endurance is incredible, too. It seems that he can sprint for the whole 9 minutes.
In the summer of p>96, the Spanish super power Real Madrid rushed to buy all the football heroes by waving checkbooks, with the intention of attracting all the outstanding players who were suitable for the tactical plan of the new coach and former famous coach fabio capello of AC Milan. In this way, Roberto Carlos, a little-known Brazilian in Spain, appeared on Capello's purchase list, when young Carlos was making contributions to Inter Milan. However, everything that happened later proved that the signing of the contract by Real Madrid Club was indeed a wise move.
Successful Transfer
After one season, Real Madrid Club deeply realized how lucky it is to get a player like Carlos. You know, before signing with him, the president of the club, Mr. Lorenzo Sands, knew almost nothing except that he was a left-back and shot fiercely. At that time, the most important thing for Mr. Sands was that Carlos' transfer fee must be within the club's budget, that is, not more than $5 million.
In July the year before last, tens of thousands of Madrid fans and spectators gathered at the burnaby-You Stadium in Santiago to watch the first performances of the stars of Real Madrid in the new season. Dutch midfielder Seedorf, Yugoslav striker Mijatovic and Croatian sharp knife figure Suker were always talked about by people, but after that game, Carlos, who was not favored by people at first, became idols and heroes in the eyes of the fans of the club together with the young star Raul Gonzalez, the undisputed pillar of the team.
As the first Brazilian star of Real Madrid, he showed his superb skills and excellent physical fitness on the court, and his extraordinary football talent made him stand firm in Spain. In this way, this outstanding player finally won the praise of many critical fans in the "Bullfighting Kingdom".
Amazing footwork
It is called a gift from God, fate or simple good luck. The inheritance and energy that Carlos inherited from his parents have brought a new star to football, and he is not a striker. When the team doctors of Real Madrid analyzed and tested him, he was amazed at his good physical fitness. Another of his more remarkable strengths is the shape of his thighs. Many fans are disappointed because when they measure their thigh muscles, they are far from the amazing 58CM of Carlos.
His thigh muscles are like this, and his playing style is stereotyped when he was a child (solid technical foundation and fine footwork). He is the main defender of the Brazilian national team and has played for Flamengo and Torino successively. Not surprisingly, the left-footed shot is extremely powerful. What the fans of Real Madrid know is that when Carlos played for Inter Milan, he shot the ball at a speed of up to 15 kilometers per hour, which made them sigh. The Spanish fans didn't wait long to catch a glimpse of Carlos. In the third game of the 96-97 season against Real Madrid, he scored the key goal. At that time, the ball speed was 14 kilometers per hour. The young Brazilian international is a super all-around athlete, and his performance in the 1-meter race is less than 11 seconds.
Besides, he is competitive and always wants to win the game. He constantly puts pressure on his opponent's defense. In some key games last season, Real Madrid turned the tide with Carlos, who inspired his teammates to believe that they could get more.
Roberto Carlos showed great courage in the four-nation invitational tournament in France in July, and scored a goal against Italy (3-3 behind by two goals). Club President Sands admits that signing a contract with Roberto Carlos is indeed a wise move and a good investment. After the end of last season, I couldn't wait to renew my contract with him. The original contract may be extended to take effect in June 2, and one of the clauses in the contract clearly states that athletes can leave as long as they pay the club a penalty of 1 million yuan.
Good heart
The positive side of Roberto Carlos, that is, good deeds, is not only on the court. Many times he showed that he also cared about the oppressed people. The humble family environment in which he was born and raised left a deep mark on his character. He publicly stated that he had few toys when he was a child, because his family was poor and his parents didn't have enough money to buy them for him. In his first training class, he stood out and stayed for 45 minutes. After the training, give people photos and autographs, while the other players will be in 1 minutes. He won't give up until he signs everyone's autographs. No wonder he quickly won the hearts of the fans.
He has a strong religious belief and often reads the Bible. I firmly believe that all the good things he has experienced in his life are grateful to God. He is most concerned about his charming wife Alexander and their two daughters Roberta and Giovanna. He spends almost all his spare time with them. When he can squeeze time into a busy schedule. It sounds impossible for a Real Madrid player to go to the ticket office to chat with the fans, but it is one of the things he does.
The Legend of Real Madrid
There is a big match at the Bernabeu Stadium, and the fans will queue up three days in advance to buy tickets. The most fascinating game is against the old rival Barcelona. On this occasion, short Brazilians joined the fans to help them pass the boring time. He spent half an hour signing autographs, chatting with loyal supporters and spreading happiness around. This story became a legend of Real Madrid.
Everyone in this city knows that Carlos' motivation for doing these things is his good wishes and his deep feelings for the lower classes. Not all such things are done openly or by the media. He pointed out that many of the boys in the club were football. For children and teenagers who ask him for souvenirs after a game. He knew that one of them might successfully put on these shoes one day.
Carlos' life world is not just football. He is well aware of the current social problems and still looks after family members in Brazil. One of his dreams is to open a big orphanage in Sao Paulo, where children can live a comfortable life to some extent and go to school regularly. In the short term, he has other businesses, also related to children. When he sees his two daughters happy and carefree, he will think of the difficult childhood he spent. He always inspires himself for the children in need. His recent dream is to establish several football schools in his hometown, where children can learn games for free. It's no wonder that Spaniards put Carlo and his generosity in their hearts, and their highest recognition is usually to gain themselves.
