Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos: I can play until I am 42

Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos has no plans of hanging up his boots any time soon.

The Brazilian wing-back has just signed a lucrative deal with Anzhi Makhachkala after leaving Corinthians last week.

"Of course, money is a stimulus, but not the only thing. For me the important thing is to participate in an interesting and ambitious project. Anzhi is a new challenge," said Roberto Carlos.

"I cannot predict the future, but I hope to play up to 40-42 years of age. I've hardly slowed down and can still follow up the attack. Even I can run 7 or 8 kilometres per game."
