Roberto Carlos lauds Beckham technique
DEAD-BALL specialist Roberto Carlos has saluted the free-kick technique of England skipper David Beckham, claiming the Manchester United man is "even better" than him.
Carlos thundered an unstoppable free-kick past China in the Brazilians` 4-0 victory, but although Beckham has yet to find the back of the net with one of his trademark curlers the Real Madrid left back admits he has been watching the technique of the Red Devils ace.
"I've watched the way he (Beckham) shoots carefully, and it's amazing. His technique is impressive," said Carlos.
"He can put the ball wherever he wants. Even better than me."
On his wonder strike against the Chinese, Carlos added modestly: "I guess the goalkeeper didn't see the ball.
"It makes me really happy that I'm always included on the lists of the better free-kick takers in the world, together with players like Beckham."
