"It is wonderful to see the power of football"

During his 20-year professional career, Brazilian Julio Cesar lived in five different countries and visited many more for international fixtures. Bangladesh, however, was new to him.

The former goalkeeper was given the opportunity to go to the South Asian country in his capacity as FIFA Legend. There he attended the semi-final of this year’s Bangabandhu Gold Cup on 23 January and shared his experience on the field with goalkeepers from top-flight teams and their women’s youth sides.

We caught up with the former Seleção stopper and Inter Milan hero to discover his experiences and how the local football fanaticism impacted him.

FULL INTERVIEW
Julio Cesar in Bangladesh

What I learned there, not just from the children, but from the people of Bangladesh in general, is that, despite the day-to-day difficulties, they never stop smiling. I saw so many smiles during my stay!
