Zé Roberto, real name José Roberto da Silva Júnior, (born July 6, 1974 in Ipiranga) is a Brazilian footballer currently playing for Santos Futebol Clube.
He was previously under contract with Bayern Munich until June 30, 2006. He was part of the Brazil squad at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a versatile, left-footed winger who is a deft dribbler and crosses the ball well. Ze Roberto sometimes struggled to win a starting spot at Bayern Munich. However, he has earned a starting spot in the Seleção where he plays through the centre. Following the announcement that he would not return to Bayern Munich, he publicly criticized the club's style of play and predicted struggles if changes were not made.
Zé Roberto scored Brazil's third and final goal in their second round match against Ghana in the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany.
