Julio Cesar’s British sojourn came to an abrupt halt as his team QPR whimpered out of the Premier League

Julio Cesar

You have been part of one of the best Inter Milan sides in recent history, completing the historic treble ( League, domestic Cup and Champions League) with Jose Mourinho and are regarded as one of the best keepers in the world. How can you beat that? By moving to the Premier League. Not just that but you move to a cash-flush club. Not Chelsea but QPR. Yes, the Tony Fernandes experiment which led to the relegation of the club this season had its own story but having a goalkeeper like Julio Cesar should have helped them stay up. Someone should have told their defence that you have to help the keeper and not allow the opposition team with a ton of shots on goal.
