He was the most consistent”, said the left-back revealed by União São João de Araras, in an interview with the newspaper acefrom Spain. In a group that had world-class players such as Figo, Zidane and even Roberto Carlos, Beckham stood out, in the Brazilian defender’s opinion, for his sense of solidarity and friendship with his teammates.
“Beckham didn’t play for any club, he played for his friends, for Real Madrid, to win. He always thought about the team, while others thought about themselves”, commented Roberto Carlos when profiling his teammate. Despite his clear preference for the English midfielder, the Brazilian player also gave space to talk about the qualities of names like Zidane and Ronaldo. “Everything Zidane did was a spectacle. He was a dancer. He was different and I spent time with him every day.”
Regarding the Phenomenon, the praise was accompanied by a certain emotion due to the closeness they had throughout their time in football “We grew up together, it’s difficult to talk about him. I saw his joys and sadness with injuries. He was the best player of our era. Even when he was a little overweight, he was the best.” Finally, the former athlete who made history wearing the Palmeiras shirt also spoke about the current situation of the Brazilian team, which is led by coach Carlo Ancelotti. “He knows how to adapt to any club or team. Brazil, with Ancelotti, can have a great World Cup”, he concluded.
