According to AS, Real Madrid ambassador Roberto Carlos stated firmly in an interview at the Portugal Football Summit that Mbappé should win the Ballon d'Or this year. The Brazilian left-back legend also spoke about Ronaldo, praising his extraordinary physical fitness and saying he could play for another ten years.

Real Madrid ambassador and Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos opened the second day of the Portugal Football Summit, hosted by the Portuguese Football Federation at Oeiras Football City. Carlos is a 2002 World Cup winner and widely regarded as one of the greatest left-backs in football history.

AS conducted an exclusive interview with the Brazilian left-back, and Roberto Carlos was unambiguous about the Ballon d'Or topic: "Who should win the Ballon d'Or? Kylian Mbappé." Since he was at the Portugal Football Summit, he did not forget Cristiano Ronaldo: "He could still play for another 10 years. He is a monster with extraordinary physical fitness, and he is very happy to be selected for the Portuguese national team and passionate about continuing to play."

Earlier in his speech, Roberto Carlos captivated the audience. The Brazilian recounted his career as part of what was called the "Galácticos": "Ronaldo Nazário won the Ballon d'Or in 2002 in 90 minutes.

Based on my experience with the Brazilian national team and Real Madrid's Galácticos, I felt like a small child in the changing room, surrounded by a group of players with brilliant histories. I wanted to learn from them. One of the people I learned a lot from was Zidane. Zidane is a very intelligent person. Ronaldo Nazário is a different kind of person. He is a great entrepreneur. He even bought Valladolid, which increased significantly in value. The club originally had a certain value, and when he sold it, the value was very different—why? Because he built a structure that allowed the club to achieve the necessary appreciation."

He even revealed details about his vision for life after retirement (he retired in India at the end of 2015): "When I was still playing, I thought about becoming a football coach. I was fortunate to work with the best coaches in the world and play with the best players in the world, so naturally, I started learning some knowledge about tactical systems. The plan back then was that when I retired, I would at least start with a small club and one day become the coach of the Brazilian national team. At the same time, I also studied a sports director course. This course existed during my time, and of course, I would read some football regulations whenever I had time."

However, his path after retirement took a different direction: "But I always believed that a post-retirement career means building on your story as a player, using your image for commercial purposes, and in my case, as a Real Madrid ambassador, bringing the Real Madrid name to the entire world. When I played, I spent time with some very intelligent people who taught me how to be a good person while doing what they do. Namely, sports director, coach, or fitness trainer."

He also revealed details about what happened to him in the past: "I can only say that I had problems with certain people who almost emptied my bank account. Everything I earned in football, one day I lost 99% of it. Then, thanks to Entourage Sport, I was able to rebuild my life, both financially and as a family, and today I live very peacefully. Because of that, I am their partner, because of everything they did for me during the most difficult times in my life, and we want to do the same for active players."
