Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos is coming to Nepal on Tuesday. Definitely, Nepali football fans will be excited with his arrival. He is going to come to Nepal to cover the opportunity of the ongoing Nepal Super League (NSL). He will be one of the big names in world sports to come to Nepal.

During his stay in Kathmandu, he will meet Nepali supporters and will also watch NSL Qualifier-2 at Dashrath Stadium. Carlos is now 52 years old. Around 2016, he stopped playing professional football. However, his talk is still unbroken, because he is considered one of the greatest players in the history of world football.

In world football, there is a lot of talk about scoring goals by playing forward. But Carlos is not that kind of player either. He is a defensive player. More precisely 'fullback'. His game characteristic is being a defensive player but being very aggressive.

He specializes in powerful blows. His specialty was accurate free kicks. He played three World Cups. Among them, Brazil reached the final in 1998 and ended up as runners-up. In the first World Cup held in Asia in 2002, Brazil became the champion. He is best known as a player for Real Madrid, where he spent 12 years.

He also played for another European club, Inter Milan. He played 125 times for the Brazilian national team and scored 10 goals. He will always be remembered for one of those goals. Carlos is also famous for one of the best, incredible and never-ending goals in world football history. For this, you have to go back to 1997, when preparations were underway for the World Cup in France.

Meanwhile, an international friendly match was played between France and Brazil. The match ended in a 1-1 draw and he scored the most mysterious goal ever. For that we have to come back on June 3rd. It was such a goal, which challenged even science. At the 21st minute of the game, he scored a free kick from a distance of 30 yards.

At that time the French goalkeeper was Fabian Barthez. Carlos' powerful left-footed shot initially appeared to go far to the right. But suddenly it changed its course and took left. The ball eventually grazed the netting of the post and rival goalkeeper Barthez didn't even budge from his spot. When Carlos is asked about this goal, he often replies, it is a 'miracle goal'. Of course, the way the ball managed its distance and curve was nothing short of a miracle.

After this goal, scientists researched it with interest and presented their arguments. Some say it was not a 'fluke' goal, the strike itself was brilliant. Some say, for this goal, you need to understand the principles of physics. And, this is the 'Magnus' effect. Accordingly, whenever the ball is hit in a particular way, it spins. As the ball travels, the air pressure above and below it varies. In this case, the force determines the path of rotation.
