Club career



Flamengo and Chievo


Júlio César began his professional career with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo in 1997. He made his debut that year on 17 May in a match versus Fluminense where he saved a penalty kick which was not enough as the team lost 2–0.[5] From 1997 to 2000, he served as Clemer understudy, only taking his spot during Copa João Havelange, showing good skills on goal.[6]


Júlio César's performances on goal also earned him the first call-up to the Brazil senior squad in 2002, also helping Flamengo to escape relegation in several times in 2001, 2002 and 2004.[7] His best match for the team was the second match of 2001 Campeonato Carioca final against Vasco da Gama, making several great saves.[8] Following the match, while still on the dressing room, he interrupted a live interview of Beto to make a provocation to Vasco da Gama president Eurico Miranda, who, according to him, had already reserved the party at Basque.[9]


In 2003, Júlio César become embroiled in a controversy during the loss to Fluminense. With Flamengo already trailing 4–0, César, after making a save, dropped the ball on the ground and begun playing with the feet, dribbling several players until the ball was taken by Zé Carlos.[9] This attitude was heavily criticized by then coach of the team, Evaristo de Macedo, who called him an "idiot".[10] According to César, he did this because he was desperate and was feeling helpless, stating: "Fluminense was giving us the runaround and I wanted to help my teammates, who were going through a difficult situation. I overdid it because I was sad and hurt, but I already apologized on Saturday."[11]


He left the club at the beginning of 2005, having made 285 appearances for the club in all competitions. He was the third goalkeeper with most appearances for the club, behind only Cantarele (557) and Zé Carlos (352).[12]


In January 2005, he moved to Italian Serie A club Chievo. Due to Serie A regulations that impose a cap on the number of non-EU players clubs can sign from abroad, Júlio César could not join Inter Milan at the time and was initially registered to Chievo through a deal between the two clubs.[13]



Internazionale


In July 2005, following a deal between Chievo and Inter Milan, Júlio César officially signed a three-year contract with Inter.[14] The deal cost Inter €2.45 million.[15]

Júlio César was given squad number 12, and made his official debut on 10 August in the first leg of 2005–06 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round versus Shakhtar Donetsk, keeping a clean-sheet in the 2–0 win at RSC Olimpiyskiy.[16] He won his first silverware with the club ten days later, the Supercoppa Italiana against Juventus; he was on the bench.[17] César made his Serie A debut on 28 August in the season opener against Treviso, making a good overall performance and keeping a clean-sheet as the match was won 3–0.[18] On 24 November, during a Champions League group stage match against Petržalka, Júlio César played in a line-up of 11 foreign players on the pitch, with Luís Figo being the only european.[19]


Júlio César finished his first season with Nerazzurri by making 40 appearances in all competitions, as Inter won the championship following the relegation of Juventus due to match-fixing,[20] and also conquered Coppa Italia by defeating Roma 4–2 on aggregate, with César playing on both finals.[21] Inter thus completed the domestic treble. His performances were noted during his first season, as he was distinguished for saving penalties and making great saves, which made Francesco Toldo lose his place as starting keeper after four seasons.[22][23]



2006–09: Domestic success


The 2006–07 season was even more successful for Júlio César and Inter, as the player and the team set several records in the league.[24] He played 32 matches as the championship ended in conquest, with Inter winning it for the 15th time in history.[24] He kept 12 clean-sheets and conceded 30 goals, with Inter losing only once; they won the title with 5 games to spare, and collected 97 points and setting a record for most consecutive matches without defeat, 31.[24]


Júlio César begun 2007–08 season by receiving a red card, his first in Inter colours, in a 1–1 draw versus Udinese in the opening week of championship.[25] He kept three clean-sheets in the Champions League group stage to help Inter finish top of Group G.[26] He finished the season by winning another championship, contributing with a clean-sheet in the decisive last match against Parma.[27] By keeping 17 clean-sheets in 35 Serie A matches, Júlio César set a personal record in terms of clean sheets, with a 53 percent average.[28] In the Champions League, he made 8 appearances, but the team was eliminated in the round of 16 by Liverpool.[29]


Júlio César commenced his 4th Internazionale season on 24 August 2008 by playing in the Supercoppa Italiana match against Roma; the regular and extra-time ended in a 2–2 draw. In the penalty shoot-out, he stopped the attempt of his Brazil teammate Juan which paved Inter's way to victory as the Nerazzurri won 8–7.[30] One month later, he made his 100th Serie A appearance as Inter won 1–0 versus Lecce in the 2008–09 Serie A week 4.[31] Internazionale finished the championship again in the first place with 84 points, 10 more than the second place Juventus, with Júlio César contributing with 17 clean-sheets in 36 matches, equaling his personal best set the previous season.[32]


In July 2009, Júlio César was chosen by ESPN Brasil as the best player of the 2008–09 season. He also received the Prêmio Futebol no Mundo (Football in the World Award), designated to the best Brazilian footballer playing outside Brazil in that season.[33]

Ahead of the new season, César changed his squad number from 12 to 1, which was vacated by the retired Francesco Toldo. His old squad number became part of newcomer Luca Castellazzi.[49] On 21 August 2010, he won his 4th Supercoppa Italiana trophy; Inter faced Roma in a 3–1 comeback win at San Siro.[50] In November 2010, the medical staff discovered a torn thigh injury at Júlio César and put his presence at FIFA Club World Cup in doubt.[51] He was recovered in time and eventually was called for the tournament, keeping a clean-sheet in the semi-final match against Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma.[52] He kept his goal intact in the final as well which helped the team to win the trophy for the first time after defeating TP Mazembe 3–0.[53] Inter thus completed the Quintuple to become the fourth team in the world after Liverpool in 2001, Al-Ahly in 2006 and Barcelona in 2009. Júlio César ended 2010 by being named second best goalkeeper of 2010 by IFFHS, only behind Iker Casillas.[54] He was also named Inter Player of the Year for 2010 for his outstanding appearances throughout the year, receiving Pirata d'Oro Award.[55] He finished 19th in the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or ranking, winning two places compare to last year ranking.[56]

However, he was decisive in a one-on-one save against Franck Ribéry and another one against Gómez; Inter eventually overturned the game and won 3–2, meaning they progressed on away goal rule.[60] In the Coppa Italia, he played in both legs of semi-final tie against Roma, keeping a clean-sheet in the first one as Inter reached the final for the second consecutive season, where they defeating Palermo to win the third trophy of the season.[61] Júlio César finished 2010–11 campaign by making 39 appearances in all competitions, including 25 in league, where Inter failed to win the title for the first time after 5 seasons.

The returned Luiz Felipe Scolari included Júlio César in the 23 players list for the friendly against England on 6 February 2013.[152] Speaking of his return to the national team after almost a year, Júlio César commented: "I never gave up on playing for Brazil."[153] He made his first international appearance after 12 months by starting in the match, conceding in each half as Brazil lost 2–1 at Wembley Stadium.[154] This win was also England's first over "Verde-Amarela" in 23 years.[154]

Júlio César was part of the 23 players called by coach Luiz Felipe Scolari to play in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.[155] He played three matches in Group A and kept two clean sheets; the first in the opening match against Japan (3–0) and the second against Mexico (2–0).[156][157] In the semifinal against Uruguay, Júlio César saved a penalty kick taken by Diego Forlán in the 14th minute. Brazil went to win the match by 2–1, and Júlio César was named man of the match.[158][159] He kept his goal intact in the final as well against Spain as Brazil won 3–0 to claim their 4th title.[160] For his performances he was given Golden Glove award as the best goalkeeper of the tournament; he was also part of the FIFA.com Users' Dream Team.[161] Júlio César received the award while wearing the shirt of Iker Casillas, to make "a tribute for everything he did".[162]


On 2 June 2014, Júlio César was named in Brazil's squad for the 2014 World Cup.[163] In the team's round of 16 match, Júlio César saved from Mauricio Pinilla and Alexis Sánchez in the penalty shootout against Chile, sending Brazil through to a quarter-final against Colombia.[164] His efforts earned him the Man of the Match award.[165]


Dramatically, he conceded five goals against Germany within the first half in the semi-final, as the Germans went on to win 7–1. After Brazil lost to the Netherlands 0–3 in a third place play-off match, Júlio César admitted this was probably his last World Cup: "To play at the Copa America in 2015, at the age of 35, would be quite complicated. To go there without having the 2018 World Cup in mind would be selfish on my part."[166][167]




Style of play


Regarded by pundits as one of the best goalkeepers in the world in his prime,[168] and as one of Brazil's greatest goalkeepers ever,[169] Júlio César was known for his athleticism, strength, and reflexes, as well as his agility, positional sense, shot-stopping, ability to read the game, and speed when rushing off his line.[170][171][172][173] A left-footed goalkeeper, he is also known for his ball skills and distribution, as well as his penalty stopping.[171][174][175]



Personal life


Júlio César is a Roman Catholic.[176] He married Brazilian model and actress Susana Werner at the Candelária Church.[177][178] Together, they have two children: Cauet, born in 2002, and Giulia, born in 2005. They both went to ACS Hillingdon International School.[179][180] He is sponsored by Asics.[181]
