Former Brazil keeper Cesar rules out new Flamengo deal
Rio de Janeiro, March 25 (IANS) Former Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar has ruled out the prospect of extending his contract with the Flamengo football club.
The 38-year-old has played just once since rejoining his original club on a three-month deal in January after parting ways with Portugal’s Benfica, reports Xinhua news agency.
“It’s only going to be these three months,” he told reporters. “If we win the Rio state championship maybe I can think about a farewell match.”
Cesar is currently Flamengo’s fourth choice goalkeeper behind Diego Alves, Cesar Dutra and Thiago.
Having begun his career with Flamengo in 1998, Cesar moved to Europe in 2005 and enjoyed successful spells with Chievo, Inter Milan, Queens Park Rangers and Benfica.
He played for Brazil at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups and was a part of the Inter Milan team that won the 2010 UEFA Champions League.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
