Julio Cesar

[junior55]

Pandev and Sneijder are still servicable for the mid-tier European clubs. No reason to retire. I actually feel that Sneijder will go to the MLS for some reason, he brings me that vibe.

In the meantime Eto has 44 goals and 14 assists in 75 games in Turkey Superlig ... which is not bad

now this is what I call epic justice...

Funnily enough, I just checked on Sneijder and there are reports that he may have agreed to move to Los Angeles.

This man was the the absolute best goalkeeper we could've ever asked for during our most successful period as a club, ever. There's not a single doubt in my mind that he was the greatest keeper in the world in 2008. There's not a single doubt in my mind that we wouldn't have won the Triplete without that Messi save. There's not a single doubt in my mind that we wouldn't have etched the club's name into history like we did with Julione as a keeper, without him.
Having said that, even all those thing don't hold a candle to how he was as a person. I'm having trouble naming anyone as loved as him during my time as a fan, by fans and team-mates alike.
Loyal to an absolute fault, even when Inter tried to take shortcuts and somehow start a new era by mistakenly throwing our legends out on their asses. I'll take the image of Julio Cesar crying during his lap of honor with me to the grave.

One Dreamcatcher.

Absolute tears in my eyes, man.

This guy :epicwin:

I remember how fucking scared I was when we were getting a new gk to replace this fucking legend. Luckily Handanovic did well, more than that.

Morratti really ruined it at end of his reign.. he could just trying to sell any of those 2010 heroes to give us a room for breathe in financial book. Millito and Maicon duo for 50 million should enough to cover the lost instead give them hella big fatcheck who bite us for many years. Its hard to see them left with bitter in their mouth due to the situation.

Julio Cesar was definitely one of the best signings in Inter's history, not only because of his legendary level of performances, but because of how he was virtually a nobody here. I love stories like that when some unkown foreigner like him and Maicon join us, play so good that they shift legends like Toldo and Zanetti out of their place, and then end up winning everything with you. Him and Maicon were the most passionate players at the team.

Stupid, needless, unncessary, waste of money.... What else can i say?

A quote on Julio Cesar prior to his arrival by my old disappeared friend Hamed. I fell into that too and I was totally against JC when he first joined. That's why I respect him the most now.

beautiful,when he gets emotional i get emotional...best GK for me...ever...fuck Buffon and the others...Handa isn't on JC's level tbh...even though I'm a huge Handa fan...he was just fucking insane...saved unsavable shit in his prime,that save against Messi was out of this world,I CAN'T SEE ANY OTHER GK DOING THAT...he was more spectacular than Handa,seemed he tried to do everything,Handa sometimes just loses his shit or so it seems...yeah...different personalities i guess,that's why people sometimes dis on Handa...he looks he isn't on the pitch...
HOWEVER both are INTER LEGENDS IN MY BOOK!

 

[junior55]

How many penalties has this legend saved btw ??

I heard handa was close to reaching the record of Penalties saved (record held by Pagliuca) but JC was a monster in that as well

 

[ScottishInterista]

He had a better defence than hands so I doubt he had to save as many and it's getting to the point where they've been here for similar amounts of time

 

[ADRossi]

Perhaps it's ironic that the most memorable JC penalty for me was one he didn't save (when he stuck his tongue out at Ibra)

 

[Vintage]

How many penalties has this legend saved btw ??

I heard handa was close to reaching the record of Penalties saved (record held by Pagliuca) but JC was a monster in that as well

Pagliuca 31 saves from 90 pen 34.4 %
Handa 27 saves from 69 pen 39.1 %
J. Cesar 10 saves from 30 pen 33.3 %

yeah but seeing a nelson rivas special ruined it for me though

He has had many injuries lately, at this point I think football's already become painful for him to play.

He should retire, enjoy life a bit, and when he wants to be back, there will be clubs welcoming him with a coaching/ambassador role.

 

[ElDiego22]

Legend. Better than Buffon and Dida

 

[indro1908]

grande julione,,wish him all the best for whatever he do inhe future,,
INTER FOREVER waiting,,

Lol this shows exactly the difference of quality vs quantity.
JC has played so many important matches and made important saves that it looks like it has saved like 100 penalties.

I hope to be able to say the same for Icardi as soon as possible.
It is very unfortunate that this player has scored so much for us but it has meant so little , especially when you compare it with the likes of Milito for example

INTER GET THREE!

The Brazilian speaks about the Argentinian defender who will be in Milan tomorrow, and also the other two possible reinforcements for Inter.

“Lisandro Lopez is tough and reliable. Ramires also played with me: he just never stops running. Rafinha? Pure technique.”

JULIO CESAR: “RAMIRES, LEADER. LISANDRO, VERY TOUGH. RAFINHA, WORTHY OF INTER”

The goalkeeper of the treble winning team knows the three reinforcements well. “They will bring experience, toughness and pure quality.”

“Did they get them?” Julio Cesar just cannot hide the Inter-ism in him. It emerges from time to time “and it is a beautiful disease.” He calls it that. More than five years have passed between England, Canada and Portugal but he still feels the period of seven years spent at Pinetina inside. And you can feel it in his question: “did they get them?” Lisandro Lopez, Ramires and Rafinha: these are the possible reinforcement for the winter transfer market of Inter. It is the nostalgia of the time he was Inter player, diving on the grass. A month and a half ago Julio Cesar left Benfica but for the moment, he is not playing football. He has given himself some time: if nobody else asks him for his service then he will say goodbye to football. Meanwhile, he reads, listens and keeps himself informed. His work in the world of football will stay his, regardless: this is what we already know.

Anyway, the players that could be on their way to Inter are a recent teammate of Julio Cesar in Lisandro Lopez and two Brazilians that he knows well. Especially, Ramires. He transferred to Lisbon just as Julio Cesar started to feel the treble. He too also won the 2009 Confederations Cup with the Selecao but stumbled in the quarterfinals in the World Cup 2010 and semifinals in 2014. “Ramires is a little bit of my opposite. He is a shy guy, very introverted, who loves to speak very little. But in the end, I understood his strength: lots of substance, little words. And in football, that often goes a long way.”

Let’s talk about Ramires as a player.

“He is an animal, in a good way. It’s been awhile since the last time I saw him play but I remember that as a midfielder, you can find him everywhere because he never gets tired, he is relentless. In our national team, he was the one that ran the most, 11-12 kilometers per game. Maybe know, the running is a bit less but his experience now makes him do it more efficiently. Even better.”

Experience sells. Even in this case.

“Ramires was ‘born’ in Cruzeiro and that is not just any club in Brazil. Then he also played at Benfica and Chelsea, as well as many matches with the Brazilian national team. A career like this gives you charisma, makes you a leader. And leaders do not need to talk much. If you need them to give you 100%, they will give you 110%, that’s how they talk.”

Did he go to China a bit too early?

“Maybe yes, but in retrospect, who are we to judge such choices from the outside? He decided to do so and nobody knew what was going on in the head, or life, of Ramires. But if he is back in Europe now, it is certainly because he still has something to give: something that can help Inter.”

In what role?

“This Spalletti will know. I know that Ramires has always impressed me for one thing: he uses his lungs with the same ease in the defensive as well as offensive phase. So he can do well in front of the defense or in a more advance position further up.”

At least we know where Lisandro Lopez will be playing.

“He is the opposite of Ramires. Aside the position on the field, you can ‘feel’ him in one more place: the dressing room. He is a man of the dressing room: very good guy, he likes to laugh and knows how to get along with everyone.”

Are you two good friends because of this?

“He and I joked a lot. When I got to training, I pretended to not say hello and he pretended to be pissed off. He said: ‘Look! I know that I am not Zanetti, Cambiasso or Milito: but I am a part of the dressing room and you have to say hello!’ He will now enter that one at Inter training ground and I am sure he will fit in very quickly. I will call him soon to wish him good luck.”

There are a lot of photos of you two hugging each other.

“It was like our ritual: after every Benfica goal, he came to meet me and we hugged each other.”

Difficult to happen after one of his goals.

“He scored few but more than once, his goals were important. I remember one for the win at Porto. But his job is not that, it is being a tough, solid and reliable defender. I hope that he and Miranda can redo what Samuel and Lucio did.”

But he will have to deal with Skriniar.

“Who is very good but is young. Skriniar will learn a thing or two from Lisandro, useful things.”

Why is he playing so little at Benfica?

“Football is like that: every coach has his own choices. But even if that he is playing very little, they all know that Lisandro is still here, they can feel him, his presence. I think that he is aware that he can play at high level again by accepting another challenge.”

And what kind of challenge for Rafinha?

“We never played together in a team but I do know him. But I imagine that one with his talent can take on any challenges.”

Let’s talk about his talent.

“It is not needed for me to describe him but he has Brazilian feet, pure technique. I do not know where he will play but it is wherever Spalletti decides to put him.”

What do Inter need?

“Inter are doing well but we must not forget that this is a new team with a new coach who is very good. Inter must consider themselves lucky to have him on the bench. I remember him at Roma very well, the one that was in Serie A, Italian Cup, Super Italian Cup. Always tough playing against him. Inter must think about the Champions League and I support this goal. For the Scudetto, there is time because playing in the Champions League will push you towards everything.”

The last time that you dove for the ball was the end of November when you ended your contract with Benfica.

“I am giving myself until January. There is someone that wants to talk, I will be waiting. I would not leave football like that, with a goodbye to Benfica. But if there is not an offer that interests me this window, I will leave football definitively. Everything has its time. And there is always time to dream a bit more.”
