“To say I appreciate him as a goalkeeper is trivial,” former Inter ‘keeper Cesar told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“His name is in history, for showing that you can be the best of the best playing in our role. One thing I always liked was going to talk to the opponent after a match.
“We did it several times, and in particular I remember the first time when I told him ‘come on, we’ll do that once Inter beat Juventus’.
“He said ‘ok, and we’ll do it another time if Italy beat Brazil…’”
