Sorry Carlos, love you to bits but you'd love to go back to poverty and crime? Ok domate all your wages into MY bank account and i'll give your luxury lifestyle a try. Sure his children would love to be poor aswell.
You are suffering? Playing for man City, earning 100 plus grand a week? mmmm, poor soul....shall we have a collection to buy a present for him to cheer him up? Must be awful being famous, rich, talented, without financial worries etc..
Shut yer mouth Carlos and go get us a hatrick on sat [still think your King though!]
Thing is guys, if Ade said these things or - imagine - Robinho - we'd slate them...food for thought.

The financial aspects of the game mean him and his children will never want for anything for the rest of their lives.
Why are you speaking on his behalf? He has said how he feels yet you feel you have the right to correct his words? That is a very arrogant stance to take, people forget this whole thing is an illusion. You think all they do is go to training, play a few games and viola they are millionaires. There is a great deal of stress, training, frustration not to mention the politics behind the scenes in the game. Tevez is not the first great to say this, Ronaldo said this, Ronaldinho has said this, Adriano said this, Messi has said this, Henry has said this so to me there must be some truth to this.
I feel they are tired of the fish bowl life of always being watched and judged and talked about and thats what he means he wants his old life back. There is a video online where they were filming the flavelas in Brazil and they caught a shirtless, shoeless man walking around and it turned out to be Adriano just hanging with old friends in the streets like he used to. This is a multimillionaire athlete who walked away from £110000 a week at Inter because he was unhappy. Its like the music business when the money men come in and take the art from the talented and turn it into a business for money purposes only the passion disappears. I respect Carlos for saying what many wont say. Look at the examples A.J., Steven Ireland, Hart these guys act like they already won the WC and they aint even won a League cup. So fair play to the man and dont judge others based on your ambition as well as not understanding someones situation. From outside it looks fantastic but everyone and I mean EVERYONE has a their own cross to carry. Not to mention the pressure we pile on these guys week in week out as they hold our happiness in their boots.
