César FM property diagram
Through the FM2010 attribute chart, it can be seen that Cesar was in the heyday of Inter Milan's "Treble", and his various ability values also reached the peak, whether it was goalkeeper technology, mental attributes or physical attributes, Cesar at that time had become a strong contender for the world's best goalkeeper, in addition, the reaction ability and control ability to approach the explosion were rare in the football manager game; next, we walked into the football world of Giulio Cesar together.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > I was born to be useful</h1>
On September 3, 1979, the protagonist of this article, Giulio Cesar, was born in the satellite city of the Duke of Casias in the Rio de Janeiro region of Brazil, in this small town known for exporting young talents in football (Note: Inter's alternative "five brothers" Jonatan was also born here), Cesar is the best of many dream-chasing teenagers.
The start of football has not been smooth
Cesar's early football experience was not smooth, he played as a striker as a teenager, due to the lack of talent, many Brazilian professional club scouts did not pay attention to the obscure introverted boy, in order to get more performance opportunities, Cesar decided to move to the indoor futsal field.
In 1994, César was discovered by Pinto, then the youth coach of the Brazilian league giants Flamengo, while representing the local team Grajau Country Club in the indoor football league, and signed a youth player contract with Flamengo, and the 15-year-old Cesar officially entered the professional football world.
He started his career in Flamenco
Under the advice of "Bole" Pinto, Cesar changed to the position of goalkeeper for the first time in his life, and this attempt also completely changed his career, under the cultivation of flamenco youth training system, Cesar's goalkeeping skills have been greatly improved, coupled with the calm character of the teenager, Sasser successfully won the U17 South American Championship with Brazil.
In 1999, the 20-year-old Cesar was officially promoted to the flamenco first team, and in the following five years, Cesar gradually sat in the top spot of the team's main goalkeeper with a steady performance, winning the Rio state league title four times, winning the Brazilian Cup three times and winning the Rio Guanabara Cup three times is enough to say everything, and a supernova in the goalkeeper position is rising.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" > precipitation and agitation, he inherited the glorious tradition of the "Nerazzurri" goalkeeper position</h1>
Fame in Brazil's domestic league quickly attracted the attention of European club scouts, and in the summer window of 2004, the spending Inter president Moratti received a scouting report about Cesar, and the target of finding Tordo's successor was locked in Cesar's body, and for $5 million, Cesar married into the top giants when he first entered Europa.

In order to adapt to Serie A faster, Cesar was loaned to Chievo for training in the 04/05 season, but at that time, Maceggiaani firmly occupied the main goalkeeper position in the "Flying Donkey" team, and Cesar, who debuted in the Apennines, had few opportunities to play, and in the 05/06 season, Cesar returned to the "Nerazzurri" to take over the elderly Tordo in advance.
In the summer of 2006, the "telephone gate incident" that shocked the world broke out, many of the big clubs involved in Serie A were punished, and Inter Milan, who was alone, opened a five-season Serie A Thanos mode, Cesar quickly became the main force of the team under the cultivation of Mancini, and followed the "Nerazzurri" to win Serie A and Italian Cup titles continuously, and also made sufficient preparations for the outbreak of the Treble season.
Extreme triple saves
Fast forward to the 09/10 season, which is a year remembered by the world's Nerazuri, Inter Milan under the leadership of the "madman" Mourinho, the achievement of the Serie A title, the Italian Cup and the Champions League champions of the "Treble", it is worth noting that among the many treble awards, Cesar is the only player to maintain full attendance in all competitions throughout the season.
If Milito's "four goals set three crowns" is the finishing touch, then Cesar's stable performance is a "work of dragons": only 34 goals and 17 clean sheets in the 38 rounds of Serie A; before the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 knockout match with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Cesar suffered a serious car accident, and the Brazilian who started with facial bruises completed a clean sheet against the "Blues".
Magically saved Messi's theoretical dead-end shot
In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Inter Milan, who played one less person, was bombarded by the "Cosmic Barca", Messi's sudden cold arrow crossed Samuel's block, and when he was in full swing, Cesar stretched his body and saved the ball that had crossed his position to save the bottom line, the speed of the reaction was admired, and this picture has become an eternal classic in the history of the Champions League.
Slowly recap the classic save in the history of this Champions League
In the Champions League final, facing bayern Munich, the "king of the south" led by "Peter Pan" Robben, Cesar once again tried to keep the city goal, 2-0, with captain Sanetti holding aloft the St. Brad Cup at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the "Nerazzurri" returned to the "era of the great international", and Giulio Cesar was also officially canonized, the nickname of "Saint Cé" and the honor of UEFA's goalkeeper of the year is the biggest compliment to Cesar's performance.
The Champions League final blocked the shot from the "Robben zone"
From Zenga to Palyuca to Peruzi, from Tordo to Cesar to today Handanovic, Inter's glorious tradition of goalkeeping in the past three decades is still continuing, and for the silent inheritance of legendary feats, we as fans have nothing but respect.
However, there is no unbroken feast in the world, Inter Milan began to show decline after winning the "five crowns", the praise of meritorious players disrupted the balance of the dressing room, coupled with the turmoil of the club's coaching position and the change of equity, the "Nerazzurri" quickly fell from the altar, and Giulio Cesar also became a victim of the turmoil of the team in the "post-treble era".
Wonderful saves from the Inter era
On August 29, 2012, Inter Milan and Cesar could not escape the seven-year itch, and early termination became the best ending to a peaceful breakup, in which Cesar played 300 games for the Nerazzurri and completed 128 clean sheets in seven years; on March 9, 2021, Cesar officially became a member of the Inter Milan Hall of Fame.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > suzanne's eyes of him and him</h1>
Fast forward to 1998, when a blonde girl in the stands wearing a Brazilian yellow-green flag became the most beautiful scenery in the World Cup in France, her name was Suzanne, the first love of many Chinese fans, the former girlfriend of "alien" Ronaldo and the current wife of Giulio Cesar.
Suzanne at the 1998 World Cup in France
Thinking back to that year, Ronaldo was in the green field, Suzanne was red sleeved under the green field, and the unique story of a pair of golden boys and jade girls really made fans around the world envious; but contrary to expectations, after the World Cup in France, Ronaldo had a scandal with tennis beauty Kurnikova and Brazilian supermodel Fabiana.
Susanna and Ronaldo officially broke up in June 1999, "As a player, Ronaldo is great, but as a boyfriend, he is too bad; women who are stars rely on and use stars, but I have never used anyone, except for my father, I have not let any man take money out of my pocket to buy me something, even a popsicle," Susanna said in an interview many years later.
Brazilian supermodel Suzanne
Upon her return to Brazil, Suzanne had a brief relationship with Kurten, brazil's "king of the clay", until during a TV show, Susanna met her true son, Giulio Cesar, who was still working for flamenco at the time, and the two fell in love at first sight and entered the marriage hall in 2002.
After marriage, Cesar and Suzanne gave birth to a son and a daughter, the gentle and virtuous Susanna decided to quit the show business circle and concentrate on her husband and godson, it turns out that Susanna is indeed a Husband, from the later Cesar landing in Europe to join Inter Milan, and then following the "Nerazzurri" to win the Triple Crown, are inseparable from Susanna's support and companionship.
An interesting case: on 11 March 2007, the 06/07 Milan derby was in full swing, the first time Ronaldo had met his old club Inter Milan since joining AC Milan, and the "Suzanne derby" between Inter goalkeeper Cesar and Ronaldo was equally gripping.
Ronaldo fired a blow back and broke through the goal guarded by Cesar

In the game, as long as there is a corner and other opportunities, Ronaldo will run to Cesar and whisper, in the sensitive state at that time, it is easy to make people think of Suzanne, after the game Cesar was asked about the content of the conversation between the two said: "Ronaldo came to me for jokes all the time, what did he say? That was a secret between me and him. ”
To this day, Cesar and Suzanne still show their love on their respective social media, Cesar is honest and honest, Susannah is gentle and virtuous, the marriage between the two is a match made in heaven, and the silent observance of the past two decades has become a positive example of the married life of public celebrities.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > until you see the trivial is the only answer</h1>
Say goodbye to Inter
Back to the point, Cesar joined the Queen's Park Rangers in the Premier League after leaving Inter, the Brazilian goalkeeper played 27 times for QPR in all competitions and only completed 6 clean sheets, frequent injuries and the reality of the team's bottom relegation in the Premier League seriously affected Cesar's competitive state, in February 2014, in order to maintain the form of the World Cup in Brazil, Cesar crossed the ocean to join Toronto FC on loan.
In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Brazilian national team, which was not in the position of goalkeeper, once again put the burden on the shoulders of veteran Cesar, but the fact of the 1-7 defeat to Germany in the semi-finals firmly nailed Cesar to the column of shame in the history of Brazilian football, after the World Cup, Cesar tearfully announced his retirement from the Brazilian national team in an interview, and Cesar's guilt for Brazilian fans has become the biggest haze of his entire career.
Retired from the Brazilian national team
On August 20, 2014, Cesar, who terminated his contract early with Queen's Park Rangers, freely joined Portuguese Super League giants Benfica, and during his time for the Eagles, the 35-year-old Cesar regained his second spring, and the honors of three Portuguese Premier League titles, 1 Portuguese Cup and 1 Portuguese Super Cup were once again written into the Brazilian veteran's championship book.
On January 30, 2018, the 38-year-old César Ye luo returned to his home team flamenco, returning to the place where his football dream began, and on April 22, 2018, Giulio Cesar officially announced his retirement after the match in which Flamengo beat Minero Americas in the Brazilian League, ending his 19-year professional football journey.
Best wishes
