Brazil 2002 World Cup winning squad: Where are they now?

#6 Roberto Carlos

Then

Undoubtedly one of the greatest (if not the greatest) left-back of all time, Roberto Carlos was one of the stars of the 2002 Brazil World Cup squad. Motoring down the left-hand flank for the Selecao, Carlos provided some amazing moments of magic and was even included in the FIFA 2002 World Cup All-Star Team. He was playing for Real Madrid in 2002.

Now

After a lacklustre performance in World Cup 2006, Carlos vowed never to play for Brazil again (although he briefly harboured hopes of playing in the 2010 World Cup). After 207, Carlos played for Fenerbahce, Corinthians and Anzhi Makhachkala before finally playing his last game for Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos. Carlos was the player/manager for Delhi Dynamos for the 2015-16 season and it will be interesting to see where his football journey takes him next.

#7 Ricardinho

Then

Called up to the Brazil national team as a late replacement for injured midfielder Emerson, Ricardinho made 3 appearances as a substitute during the tournament. Playing as a deep-lying playmaker, Ricardinho was known for his accurate passing and through balls. He was playing for Brazilian club Sao Paulo in 2002.

Now

Ricardinho last played an international game for Brazil in 2006. He went on to play for English club Middlesbrough, Brazilian clubs Santos and Corinthians, Besiktas and Atletico Mineiro before finally calling time on his career at Bahia. The Brazilian was the manager of club side Tapi in 2016.
