Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos will be forever grateful to coach Fabio Capello. According to the former defender, the Italian helped him a lot after the disastrous 1995-1996 season in Italy. "AC Milan" coach Roy Hodgson destroyed me, telling me to play it safe. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in the "Copa America" tournament, which took place in 1997. I talked to "Inter" owner Massimo Moratti and asked to let me leave. I moved to Madrid's "Real" club, led by F. Capello - the most important coach in my career," - R. Carlos recalled significant changes. The defender fit in perfectly in Spain and spent even 11 years there, triumphing three times in the UEFA Champions League.
