Fabio Capello 650

In the fourth episode of “Capello Collection”, which airs tonight on Fox Sports, the former coach of Real Madrid told an interesting market background linked to the infamous transfer of Roberto Carlos to Madrid from Inter, an operation on first left him stunned.

“Just come to Real, a prosecutor called me to tell me that Inter would sell Roberto Carlos. I did not believe it. I did send a fax to have the official status of the sale of the Brazilian defender. I quickly called the president to tell him that the next day he had to rush to close the deal. I think it was the fastest purchase in history.”
