Roberto Carlos

“Some people don't understand that football is universal. It doesn't have a race or nationality. It's one group of people.”

“My season with Delhi Dynamos was very special.”

“Ronaldo was a phenomenon, but Zizou had something apart. Playing alongside him was a crazy thing! Supporters arrived earlier at the Bernabeu just to see him warm-up!”

“I can tell you that the Galacticos era in the early 2000s wasn't just memorable for the fans. It was also incredible to be part of as a player. You would sit in the dressing room, look around you, and see the Ballon d'Or winner, the Spanish player of the year, the top scorer in La Liga, the best goalkeeper in the world.”

“I have known Eto'o since I was 16 and since then I always liked him. He is a good person, but he always thinks of himself and not the group.”

“In Brazil, I walked around with a lot of security. Fans were threatening to fight me.”

“I'm a modern coach when it comes to training. I pick a lot of things up and I watch a lot of training sessions and follow a lot of leagues around the world.”

“I want to make history as a coach, just like I did as a player.”

“You know what, lots of people are bothered by how I am. They think I'm arrogant! That is the way I am - I'm a very happy man and I love to make people happy.”

“When you go to a club you have to adapt to the club, the country, food, but not Neymar.”

“The fans do not want to see 0-0.”

“Real Madrid are always after the best talent.”

“I don't have enemies.”

“Marcelo has a completely different style from mine.”

“It was a disaster. I need to play with freedom, and Hodgson didn't let me cross the halfway line.”

“I honestly can't tell you that this or that has been the best, my entire career has been great.”

“It's quite confusing and odd when a footballer, instead of playing, is interested in bringing in players who are his friends.”

“Roy Hodgson destroyed me. He made me play in the centre of midfield.”

“Fenerbahce really made me feel at home and the fans loved me.”

“Whenever I'm asked about Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, I always answer: 'Neymar is the best,' not just because of his goals but because of the ease with which he plays.”
