Roberto Carlos off to Turkey

The Real Madrid Full back has formally signed a contract with Fenerbahce the Turkish champions for an undisclosed duration.

Amongst claims last year of leaving Madrid after a disappointing World Cup, to Chelsea or Fenerbahce, the longest serving foreign player at Real decided to extend for one more year and has an injury hit but good season.

Roberto Carlos heads the list in the number of games played at Real Madrid for a foreign player, having played with the Spanish giants for over 11 years.

The 34 year old said that the presence of 4 Brazilians at Fenerbahce and the fact that the Turkish Champions are coached by Brazilian legend Zico were reasons for the choice.

Definitely one of the best left backs in the world in his prime, he show cased everything about Brazilian football and was a gentleman on the pitch. The main reason why i was hooked on to Madrid was to see my all time favorite and football idol Roberto Carlos.
