Chilavert, who hopes to go into politics after his playing career is over, told his version of events to Cadena COPE, and admitted he spat at the Real Madrid defender.
Paraguay lost 2-0 in Porto Alegre in the game, something that clearly irked the much maligned keeper who Brazilian coach 'Big Phil' Luiz Felipe Scolari had targeted as out of condition and his country's weakest link.
The former Velez Sarsfield keeper said: "The Brazilians started the war. His coach (Scolari) stated that I weighed 400 kilogrammes."
In the pre-match build up Roberto Carlos had stated that he was unafraid of Paraguay, calling them a 'small' team, something Chilavert clearly did not like.
The keeper continued: "At the first corner kick, after he was called for a foul, this dwarf shouted to me: 'Get up, Indian'.
"After that, when they scored he touched his genitals to provoke me. When the match was going to end he pointed to the scoreboard and when the game ended and we were going to greet each other he told me: 'Indian, we have won 2-0, you are a disaster' and he hit me.
"That's when I defended myself and I spat at him.
"Everyone in football knows that Roberto Carlos is a provoker. He always does the same and after that he does not recognise his mistake and says he is innocent."
