Izaguirre to be Celtic's answer to Roberto Carlos
Celtic full back Emilio Izaguirre has ambitions to become the club's answer to Roberto Carlos.
The Honduras international has set his ambitions high after his £600,000 switch to Parkhead last month.
The 24-year-old admitted Roberto Carlos, who became a household name in world football for Real Madrid and Brazil, was his idol growing up.
He told the Daily Record: "He is the man who inspired me as a youngster and is one I have looked up to since I was a young child starting the game.
"Roberto Carlos plays the position I have always played. I like to watch his style and the way he plays the game.
"He likes to attack and seems to enjoy himself every time he steps on to the pitch. Carlos is a great player but most importantly for me, he plays in the same left-back position as I do and I have always tried to copy his style.
"I'm not sure I do the same as he does with free-kicks but I'm starting to build myself up by practising his corners."

This makes NO Sense. to be an answer to something that thing needs to pose a question. a problem if you will. for example the answer to roberto carlos would have to be someone that nuetralizes his attacks down the flanks. like the answer to wayne rooney would be a competent defender to nuetralize him. the answer to roberto carlos isn't someone saying i want to be roberto carlos.
you guys need editors.
