Roberto Carlos left Inter 'in 10 minutes' for Real Madrid after disagreement

Legendary Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos says he rushed through his transfer from Inter to Real Madrid 'in 10 minutes' after a disagreement about his best starting position.

Carlos moved from Palmeiras in his homeland to Inter in 1995, but only spent one season in Serie A before joining Real Madrid.

With English manager Roy Hodgson in charge of the Nerazzurri at time, Carlos revealed he organised his departure from the San Siro quickly after it was made clear he would not be playing his preferred left-back role.
