Many top players want to get a special treatment. They are stars and want to have some privileges that are not for the majority of people. This is why this Real Madrid legend had a fight with his coach because he did not want to train too early in the preseason just to sleep a bit more.

The coach Jose Antonio Camacho was who told this story. He managed Real Madrid in 2004, but left the club after just three matches because the dressing room did not want him. It was in the times of Galacticos, with David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Iker Casillas and more. And he remembered a time he fought with Roberto Carlos.

Roberto Carlos complained about him because he did not want to train at nine in the morning given he would have to wake up before eight o'clock. Camacho explained that in preseason, in the middle of the summer, if they have to train twice in a day, the first one has to be in the morning. But the Brazilian legend did not agree.

That coach lasted an incredibly short time, but has no regrets. He even congratulated Roberto Carlos for his great ability to recover and not needing too much training to get fit after vacations. So the former left back thought of that as a free pass to sleep a bit more and skip training, and the scandal exploded.
