Roberto Carlos: Sandro is like me
The Brazilian defender, who is being pursued by Chelsea is arguably one of the best left-backs in world football today and Carlos believes he could replace him one day.
"It's true, he's similar to me and if he continues like this he could be my successor," said Carlos. "You will see, you'll be satisfied by him. He's a great guy who is alert. I've watched him play in the few times he played for the national team and with Porto.
"He's a technical, modern full-back, someone who can defend and attack. In Brazil he gets compared to me and to tell the truth I see myself in him a bit.
"He doesn't shoot like me, but that's because very few people possess a shot like mine. For the rest, we have different common characteristics.
"In fact, I must admit that I think Alex Sandro has a more accurate cross than I had, that's really one of his specialities.
"His crosses are almost always inviting for strikers. This is a great advantage for Morata and Mandzukic – Alex Sandro is definitely a wing-back who is adept at providing assists."
