Carlos-Becks to share free-kicks

[Rev]

Real Madrid free kick specialist Roberto Carlos says he will share the dead ball duties with new arrival David Beckham.

'Beckham is going to take the free kicks closer to the goal and I'm going to take them a little bit farther out,' the Brazilian defender told reporters at the team's training camp in southwestern China.

The left back is known worldwide for his fierce free kicks and almost as famous for his failure to turn them into goals.

However, he recognises that it is a problem Beckham does not suffer from.

'He is the most skilful free kick-taker in the world,' Carlos said of the England captain.

Madrid have lot of options when it comes to free kicks/dead balls

Becks, Carlos, Raul, Zidane, Figo and im pretty sure Ronaldo scored to last season of a free kick

I guess if they want accuracy they'll go with Becks, but if they want power then go with Carlos.

Who's gonna take the corners tho?

if you think who should take free kicks you can think about lot of things who should do what.
barca also have more free kick specialists, they can share free kicks without putting it in the media.real is just a media team whit commercial objectives.

Beckham took them today. What do u mean Beckham aint good at corners? He crossed that beauty to Raul from a corner but he failed to follow up.

Never said you were wrong, mate. Only said I thought Beckham took the corners in the game. :rolleyes:
