Amazing free kick scored against France.
Roberto Carlos, full name Roberto Carlos da Silva (born April 10, 1973, Garça, São Paulo), is a Brazilian football wingback who has played for Real Madrid since 1996. He has been a member of the Brazil national team in three World Cups, helping the team reach the final in the 1998 edition and win the 2002 tournament. He is one of only five players to have played more than 100 matches in the Champions League as of March 2007.[2]
Roberto Carlos is known for his trademark powerful free kicks (known as a cannon). He is also known for his speed and his aggressiveness at joining the offense, often leading counter attacks from the back of the field. He is regarded as one of the best full backs of all time. He finished second to countryman Ronaldo in the 1997 FIFA World Player of the Year award poll and was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.
