Roberto Carlos still hopeful of World Cup call-up
« on: April 13, 2010, 06:26:44 PM »
RIO DE JANEIRO, April 12 (Reuters) - Roberto Carlos and his booming free kicks seemed to be a distant memory as far as Brazil were concerned but, on the eve of the World Cup, the former Real Madrid player's name is being mentioned again.

Thirty-seven last Saturday, Roberto Carlos has enjoyed a new lease of life since returning to Brazil to play for Corinthians where he has joined forces with his former Real Madrid and Brazil team mate Ronaldo.

Last week, he scored against arch-rivals Sao Paulo with one of his trademark free kicks, helping Corinthians win 4-3.

Roberto Carlos, capped 131 times, was made one of the scapegoats for Brazil's relatively early exit in 2006 where they lost to France in the quarter-finals and, like Ronaldo and Cafu, he has not been picked since then.

However, a dearth of obvious choices for the left-back position and his return to form have seen the media speculating on a possible recall.

I agree with dani alves at left back but it looks like Dunga is leaning towards Bastos or he might go back to Andre Santos.
