Roberto Carlos Da Silva Rocha

Roberto Carlos is a legendary Brazilian footballer, whose name is still heard by fans of this game. Carlos' achievements are truly impressive: a multiple winner of the World and European Championships, as well as one of the 125 best FIFA footballers (the list was made by Pele).

And although the athlete has already left his professional activity and is resting on the laurels of glory, his technical kicks on the ball, finely executed free throws, beautiful goals and incredible speed in sprints are still an example for novice footballers.

The future star of world football was born in the municipality of Garza, Brazil, on April 10, 1973. The athlete's full name is Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha, his footballer received in honor of the musician Roberto Carlos, whose songs were very popular with the boy's parents. Carlos's family was rather poor. The father worked at the nearest coffee plantation as a driver, while the mother stayed at home with four children (Roberto has three sisters).

From an early age, the boy had to help his mother and father, and Roberto preferred to devote his free time to playing football, which he became interested in, by his own admission, at the age of three. And already at the age of eight, the smart Carlos was even invited to play in an adult amateur team, paying tribute to the boy's talent.

In 1981, Roberto and his family moved to Cordeiropolis, where he continued to play football after school. Already at the age of 12, the young man had to start working in a factory to help his parents support his family.

There Carlos was invited to play for the company's football team. Soon Roberto was already listed as a player of the city's national team, and after some time the young man's dream of professional sports came true: he was accepted into a popular club called Unian São João.

At first, Roberto Carlos had no idea how successful his football career would be. The height of success for the young man seemed to be the purchase of a new house for his parents, for this the novice athlete decided to postpone fees for the game.

The talented athlete was quickly noticed by the country's leading coaches, and at the age of 17, Roberto Carlos joined the ranks of the Brazilian youth team, and two years later became a member of the official national team of the country. After three world championships and a number of European championships, Roberto Carlos played for some time for his native "Unian São João" and in 1992 fulfilled his cherished dream - he gave a house to his parents.

1993 was marked in the career of Roberto Carlos by moving to the Brazilian club "Palmeiras". In a couple of seasons that the footballer spent with this team, Palmerais twice earned the state champion title and twice became the country's first club. Two years later, the athlete played a season for the Milan team "Inter", scoring seven goals.

However, fans consider the game in Real Madrid to be the brightest period in the professional biography of Roberto Carlos. Since 1996, the name of Carlos has been associated exclusively with this club by fans. The footballer spent 11 seasons with the team, playing 584 matches and sending 71 goals to the opponents' goal. Together with Real Madrid, Carlos became the winner of the Spanish Championship several times and the champion of the UEFA Football League three times.

According to experts and commentators, Roberto Carlos owes his success not only to innate sports data. Behind the seeming lightness and virtuoso skill of a football player, there are constant training and incredible dedication.

The teammates in the interview unanimously emphasized the optimism of Roberto Carlos and the boundless faith in their own strengths and in the victory of the team. Often it was this kind of positive attitude and Carlos' words of encouragement that helped the players to gather their strength and finish the match.

We should also mention the legendary goal scored by Roberto Carlos against France during a friendly match in 1997. The footballer, representing his native Brazil, had to beat the penalty.

The result impressed even experienced referees: from the side it seemed that the ball hit the goal, violating the laws of physics and describing a curved line in the air. However, in slow motion, you can see that the ball hits the post and therefore, having changed its trajectory, flies into the center of the goal.

In 2007, the footballer changed the club again. This time Roberto Carlos chose to play for Turkish Fenerbahce, with whom he spent two seasons, also scoring one of his famous goals with a well-aimed head movement. At the end of the last game for this club, the fans did not want to let the player leave the field, chanting “I love you, Carlos” (which translates into Russian as “I love you, Carlos”).

After such a triumphant farewell, Carlos returned to his native Brazil, where he signed another contract. This time the footballer had to play for a team called Corinthians. As part of this club, Roberto Carlos played many matches, scored another goal, which later became legendary (with a corner kick), and, in fact, brought the club to the list of the country's leading teams.

However, after the defeat of Corinthians in a series of matches for the Libertadores Cup, fans of the athlete blamed the former idol for the failure and even began to threaten Roberto Carlos and his family. In order not to endanger loved ones, the athlete terminated the contract with the team.

In 2011, the footballer joined the Makhachkala club Anji, becoming the third number in the team. A few days after the first match in this team, Roberto Carlos was elected captain. During the season, the athlete entered the field 28 times and added five goals to the team's piggy bank. In addition, Carlos helped the club's coach Andrei Gordeev to devote the players to the intricacies of the game and seriously raised the professional level of the team's players.

After leaving Anji, Roberto Carlos continued his coaching work in a Turkish club called Sivasspor. Under his strict guidance, the team broke through to the Europa League, but was soon disqualified due to a number of scandals on suspicion of fixing matches. Despite this, Carlos was recognized as the coach of the year in Turkey, but he decided to leave the club and end his football career.

Fans remember Carlos both as a talented football player and "author" of several unique goals, and as a sympathetic and sociable person who gladly found time to communicate with fans and sign autographs.

Despite his relatively short stature (168 cm), the muscular Roberto Carlos has always attracted the attention of women. The athlete has married several times. The first wife gave Carlos two daughters. Also, the footballer has an adopted son from his first marriage.

The second wife of Roberto Carlos was a model from Brazil, Mariana Lucon. The woman gave birth to her beloved two children. It is also known that at least three more children were born to a football player from women with whom he was not married. In 2017, the athlete became a grandfather. The first grandson of Roberto Carlos was named Pedro.

In one of his interviews, Carlos even stated that he was not a monogamous person and could simultaneously meet several girls of different nationalities and appearance. However, he later retracted these words, saying that not everything said should be taken literally. Also, the footballer has repeatedly admitted that he himself does not know exactly how many children he has.

Now Roberto Carlos, although he does not enter the field, continues to follow with interest the events of world football. So, the former footballer noted that, in his opinion, Spain, France and Germany are the favorites of the 2018 World Cup.

Also, photos of Roberto Carlos periodically appear in the news outlets in connection with the scandal over alimony, which the man allegedly refuses to pay to one of his former passions, Barbara Tuler. According to media reports, a woman is raising two children from an athlete.
