Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha (born 10 April 1973), more commonly known simply as Roberto Carlos, is a Brazilian footballer and current player-manager of Indian club Delhi Dynamos. He started his career in Brazil as a forward but spent most of his career as a left-back and has been described as the "most offensive-minded left-back in the history of the game". He was nicknamed ''el hombre bala'' ("the bullet man") due to his powerful bending free kicks, which have been measured at over . He is also known for his stamina, running speed, technical skills, crossing ability,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.solocalcio.com/gallery/stelle98/lestelle12.htm )〕 long throw ins and thighs.〔 In 1997 he was runner-up in the FIFA World Player of the Year. Considered one of the best left backs in history, he was chosen on the FIFA World Cup Dream Team, and in 2004 was named in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players.〔("Roberto Carlos: Brazil have a great chance" ). ''FIFA.com''. 28 November 2013.〕 Roberto Carlos started playing for the Brazil national football team in 1992. He played in three World Cups, helping the team reach the final in 1998 in France, and win the 2002 tournament in Korea/Japan. He was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team in 1998 and 2002. At club level he joined Real Madrid in 1996 where he spent eleven hugely successful seasons, playing 584 matches in all competitions, scoring 71 goals. At Real he won four La Liga titles and the UEFA Champions League three times. In April 2013, he was named by ''Marca'' as a member of the "Best foreign eleven in Real Madrid's history". In August 2012, he announced his retirement from football at the age of 39.〔("Roberto Carlos retirement confirmed" ). FIFA.com.

In July 2015, he was appointed player/manager of Indian Super League club Delhi Dynamos. ==Biography== On 24 June 2005, Carlos was robbed by two gunmen while doing a live radio interview. However, the thieves did not harm him, merely taking his watch and the interviewer's cellular phone.〔("Brazil footballer robbed on radio" ). BBC. Retrieved 9 May 2014〕 On 2 August 2005, Carlos received dual Spanish and Brazilian citizenship. This proved important for Real Madrid, as it meant that he now counted as a European Union player, opening up one of the club's allowed three slots for non-EU players and enabling Real to sign fellow Brazilian star Robinho. Roberto Carlos has a son named João Afonso. For his 38th birthday, it was reported that Anzhi Makhachkala owner, Suleyman Kerimov, bought him a Bugatti Veyron. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roberto Carlos (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
