I'm sure at least one of the following has a much better record: Juninho, Roberto Carlos, Pirlo, Riquelme, Nakamura.
Sorry to burst your bubble! ;)
By suggesting that Roberto Carlos is - or was - a great and succesful free-kick taker you are buying into one of football's biggest myths.
He's dined out on that great Tournoi free-kick since 1997 - but that's the exception, not the rule.
He's been a hell of a player, though.
