Roberto Carlos wants to speak in Portuguese and it has been decided that Gilberto Silva will translate into English for him. “I need to be paid double for this,” Silva says with a smile. It is the premiere of Brazil 2002: The Real Story, an excellent documentary that charts the Seleção’s fifth World Cup triumph, and the legends are on stage for a Q&A.
It is Wednesday night in central London and one of those events where plenty of people are either famous or look as if they should be. The Arsenal and Brazil winger Gabriel Martinelli is there. So is Jorginho, Chelsea’s Brazil-born Italy midfielder.
