Carlos praises Beckham's free-kick as unrivalled

Roberto Carlos said here on Sunday that David Beckham is undoubtedly the best free-kicker in the world.

"David's freekick is unrivalled, he is the best," said Carlos after Real Madrid's morning workout session in their training camp.

"He will probably take the closer free-kicks in the new season, and the more distant ones will belong to me. We also have Zidane and Figo, they are also good free-kickers," the burly-built left fullback said.

Carlos said newcomer Beckham is getting well with other Real Madrid stars.

"David and I tried to talk with each other in Spanish sometimes, he is happy with us," the Brazilian star said.

He said Beckham's dramatic transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid came as no surprise for him. "Our president Mr. Florention Perez said he would get all the best footballers in the world. In consideration of this, David's coming did not surprised me. "
