I’ve Slept More Times With Ronaldo Than My Wife – Roberto Carlos

Ex Brazil defender, Roberto Carlos has talked about his time at Real Madrid.

The defender, known for his powerful left foot from dead-ball situations, was an important member of Real Madrid’s “Galactico” teams, and he has admitted that the players had too much power at the time.

Roberto Carlos has good memories of the “crazy” time at the club, and he come out to talk about it.

His words, “I met Ronaldo in 1993 and from that moment we always shared a room,”

“I’ve slept more times with Ronaldo than my wife!

“Today when I’m looking back I think; how is it possible that we got away with so much craziness?

“After every game it was private jets left, right and centre. We’d meet at the private terminal at [Madrid airport] Barajas and [David] Beckham would be off god knows where, [Luis] Figo and [Zinedine] Zidane would be off somewhere or other, Ronaldo and me…and we had to train the day after tomorrow.

“I used to pray for Saturday fixtures so I could go to the Formula 1 on Sunday. It was private jets all over the place. It was crazy.”

“During the Galácticos era there were seven of us… it created a dangerous situation in the dressing room.

“We always managed the situation well, we got along well, but [Jose Antonio] Camacho didn’t and he only lasted 10 days.

“He came into the dressing room, said hello to everybody and was very serious, a man with a lot of history at Real Madrid.

“Then he said: ‘I want everybody here tomorrow morning at 7am.’ We normally trained at 10:30. We talked to him to try and get him to change the time; we had our habits.”

“Ronaldo and me told him: ‘Professor, people here have their habits, you’ll see what they are, but don’t try to change them. Don’t take the wine off the table or stop the beers before dinner or you’ll find yourself with a problem’.

“What did he do? First he took away the wine, then he banned the beers. He lasted three months. Football is a small world, the directors heard about it and it was “adios.”
