A biography for Roberto Carloshasn’t been written yet.
“I came close to joining Villa early on in my career but nothing happened. I met with them and also with people from Birmingham but nothing materialised.”
“Everyone wants to have fun playing football. A person goes to the stadium to have fun.”
“I cannot compare myself to Zico, he is a phenomenon of Brazilian football. He has done wonders as player and coach.”
“Messi is phenomental but in my opinion, Cristiano is a special player because he does everything for Madrid.”
“The best I've played against is Luis Figo. As for team-mates, it has to be Zinedine Zidane. He made things easier for everybody.”
“There will never be another Ronaldo 'Fenomeno.'”
“Zidane is a leader in the dressing room. His personality is going to make him very successful.”
“It is tough to find a European club with the kind of infrastructure that Corinthians have.”
“The coach of Madrid must be very fond of the players and should not put them under a lot of pressure.”
“For me, Corinthians are one of the four biggest clubs in the world.”
“One of the best moments was playing for this small team in Brazil called Uniao Sao Joao - the first match was the best, the most interesting, I loved it.”
“I've played for Real Madrid and Inter, clubs at the highest level, but Corinthians is a well-organised club and a reference for our country.”
“I don't like it when my friends get used.”
“My objective is to coach the national team.”
“Plan your free-kick and imagine where you need to hit the ball. Hang a T-shirt under the bar and try to hit it with the ball.”
“The last 26 years of my career have all been great.”
“Every team needs leaders, but not just one or two.”
“Obviously when the players are performing well in training, they will have a chance to play.”
“Zizou has been a leader wherever he has played. He was the captain of France, a World Cup winner and been a winner in all the clubs he played for. So he has enough experience to handle and manage a group. More importantly, he is a man who everyone respects.”
“Hiddink really taught me a lot. We talked every day at Anzhi and I saw how he dealt with difficult situations, how he always seemed to know what the players needed. He was a great teacher. I hope I can be as successful as him.”
