Roberto Carlos, one of the world's best left-backs in the history of world football, is an admirable superstar.
Carlos spent his childhood on a farm with heavy agricultural machinery, which is the main reason why his thighs were too thick. In his childhood, he did not go to the regular team training like the children in the rich area, he was just playing and playing, a hobby, playing football was just his ideal, he never imagined that he could become a professional player, football can bring him honor and a better life, he had to help his father work more often, and at the age of 12, he went to his father's textile company to work and subsidize the family while playing football. Thankfully, he played well and was spotted by a scout who attributed it to the talent and opportunity God had given him.
Carlos debuted at the age of 18 in his hometown of São João United in Brazil, and attracted a lot of attention as soon as he made his debut, although he was only 168 centimeters tall, his outstanding explosiveness, abundant physical strength and wind-like speed made him quickly gain a foothold, he was free on the left side of the road as in his own home, and his left foot shot made any goalkeeper shudder.
With his outstanding performances, he was selected for the Brazilian national team at the age of 19 and joined the famous Brazilian team Palmeiras at the age of 20. Carlos met his favourite mentor, Lusenburg, who asked him to keep attacking on the left, when the team had two defensive midfielders who could boldly put his energy into the attack. In Palmeiras for more than two years, Carlos's talent has been fully realized, with the team won the São Paulo and Baliga titles, this time from Italy Inter Milan extended an olive branch, it is an invitation that can not be refused, to play in the European giants is the aspiration of many Brazilian players, and it is the Italian league, his idol Maradona created a brilliant place, this year Carlos is only 22 years old.
Carlos made a stunning debut on his european journey, hosting all four goals in Inter's first four games, and he quickly became a darling, with a stunning performance on the left side, carlos's long-range shots and free kicks became a beautiful landscape in Serie A, with a free kick in the game against Turin reaching a speed of 150 km/h, and in Carlos's career, the fastest speed could reach 180 km/h. He and Zanetti on the right are very good at running, but Carlos is faster, his 100 meters can reach 10.6 seconds, and his explosive power is a little stronger. And watching the offense does not mean that his defense cannot keep up, and his quick rebound and shoveling are better than ordinary players. Unfortunately, coach Hodgson at that time saw Carlos's excellent long-range shooting and two-point ability, and wanted him to play in the left wing or the left position of the double forward, so Carlos was very upset, the winger position he could barely accept, and the center position was something he thought was impossible, his height, did not like to see the football flying above his head, that feeling was terrible. For this reason, his relationship with Hodgson was not good, he felt that the British coach was going to ruin him, after the season, Morati wanted to ask Real Madrid to ask Samorano, and Real Madrid's condition was Carlos, Carlos, who was unhappy in Italy, was willing to leave, and The remaining Hodgson also agreed to release, so he left with 7 goals in the best defensive Serie A, following in the footsteps of his idols, even if they were the sworn enemies of the idols.
At Real Madrid, Carlos played at his best level, becoming the best left-back in world football, where he received many honors that many players dream of. Manager Capello relies heavily on Carlos, stating that he is the best assist he has ever seen, with excellent breakthroughs, long and short passes in place, strong scoring ability, and the speed and accuracy of defensive breaks is first-class. Carlos, who is humble and loved by fans, is the lowest-key of Real Madrid's six superstars, making 370 appearances for the Galaxy in his 11 years and scoring 47 goals.
In Spain, Carlos had the best time of his career and the most painful time of his life. The best part is of course the pitch, the most famous is the incredible free kick scored against France on behalf of Brazil at the Four Nations Invitational tournament in 1997, Carlos's 40-yard free-kick drew an incredible arc, from the left side of the wall to the left goalpost, anyone who has seen the video replay, like the French goalkeeper Butters, will think that the ball must be out of the bottom line, but the ball turned, no one thought that such a strange thing happened, it was an incredible and inexplicable arc.
This is a strange thing that Carlos himself can't understand, and in an interview 18 years later he detailed the situation at that time, saying that every time he took a free kick, he would aim at the ball's mouth, which is the hardest part of football, and the power generated will be greater. The free-kick he was aiming at was the letter A of the billboard behind the goal, but in fact he kicked it off and the ball flew to the billboard next to him, and he himself did not expect that the ball would then draw such an arc. Carlos confessed that he had tried many times after this ball, the same angle as then, the same posture, and even the human wall was basically the same as at that time, but the arc never happened again. That free-kick made Carlos famous and established his popularity in world football.
In addition, Carlos also scored a zero-degree angle goal against the sky.
And the most painful time also came from this period in Spain, from the life he had always relied on. In Carlos's worldview, football is only ranked 2nd, and family life is the most important thing in his heart. And he devoted his energy to family life, but suffered the biggest blow of his life, his wife Alexander divorced him, and Carlos lost not only the family he relied on, but also almost all his savings. His wife turned against his daughter's indifference, which made him shudder, and friends such as Ronaldo, Beckham and Ramos gave him financial help and helped him through the difficulties, and the heartbroken Carlos decided to leave the sad place of Spain.
Carlos declined several invitations, including ac Milan from Italy, his choice surprised many people, he chose Turkey, Carlos chose to have his own reasons for choosing this, because in Turkey, the status of men is very high, Carlos hopes to get rid of the shadow of his previous life, he can live like a man. In Turkey, Carlos really found himself, and even found his other half, Carlos and Mariana were united and lived happily ever after.
In the twilight of his career, Carlos returned to the country and fought with Ronaldo in Corinthians, using The Russian Anzhi and India's Delhi Dynamo as the final stage of his career, while playing football and starting to coach, and also returned to Turkey to coach Shivashi and Akhisar. Carlos scored 102 goals in 820 appearances for the club and 11 goals in 125 appearances for the Brazilian national team in his career, leaving a glorious page in world football.
However, Carlos stopped coaching at the age of 42 and accepted an invitation from Real Madrid to serve as the club's ambassador to Asia and Oceania at Real Madrid, and also in charge of Real Madrid's youth team.
Today's Carlos has gone through his own difficult time, greeted by a beautiful future, those classic moments he left behind, deeply imprinted in the hearts of fans, the little man like the wind, now a man like the wind.
