I was joking about Neymar signing for Real Madrid - Carlos
Roberto Carlos says he was only joking about being able to take Neymar from Barcelona toReal Madrid.
In an interview with Punto Pelota last week, the former Madrid left-black claimed he would be able to talk the 23-year-old into a sensational switch across the clasico divide.
However, the former Brazilian international has backtracked on those comments, explaining that he wasn’t being entirely serious.
"I only said what I said as a joke and someone took it seriously,” Carlos told Intereconomia.
“But [it is true] Madrid always signs the best players in the world.”
Last week the 42-year-old had claimed: "I can bring Neymar to Real Madrid.
"He is still very young and I am sure next year he will finish even higher in the Ballon d'Or."
Carlos is currently spending time in the Spanish capital where he is watching Zinedine Zidane’s Madrid team up close and personal, but he has played down rumours of an immediate move on to the club’s coaching staff.
"I’m happy that Madrid may be interested in giving me a job, but I am only here to watch the squad training and to learn,” he added.
“I am about to start my top level coaching studies. I’ve already spent five years coaching in Turkey, Russia and India.
“But I’ve got a lot to learn and I need to take things one step at a time.”
