Conceding 14 goals while scoring 10 in a single season as a goalkeeper might be the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever heard.

It's crazy how players don't get recognized as GOATS simply because they never played in Europe😢.

Mans absolutely underrated. This is the first time I'm hearing of him. He literally did the defending and attacking for the team. What a terrific all round player

as a São Paulo fan, the feeling of Rogerio Ceni walking through the entire pitch to take the freekick was indescribable.

Marcos, the GK of Brazilian team of 2002 Cup, said in a interview that the hardest team they face in that cup was their own reserve team in the practices. And he claimed that it was because of Ceni. Mostly because of his foot work. setting plays and counter attacks with long shots.

If Rogerio Ceni played the Premier League or any other European League he would be in the hall of fame of football. This man is legendary, I mean with no exaggeration. Generations were influenced by this guy in Brazil (mine included). There's no measuring to the legacy he left for Sao Paulo FC. Ps. One thing I didn't see mentioned in this video. I recall Rogerio Ceni being the first goalkeeper who could also play the sweeper when the team didn't have the ball. His goal kicks and through balls were actually passes that often led to deadly counter attacks. This dude just simply revolutionised the position.

Damn, I remember finding out about this guy when I had Fifa 2014. Repeatedly I had my goalkeeper auto-assigned to my penalties abd free kicks and after some stat checking and googling discovered he was a legendary free kick taker IRL. Fucking legend this man, muchos respect

131 goals for any player in a career isn't bad, but a goalie is crazy 😮

A curiosity: the coach who gave Ceni the opportunity to hit the first foul, did it as a "punishment" for the other players who refused to practice. "What are you laughing at? He's the goalkeeper who trains!" - was the phrase he used when announcing the decision to the team. On his being an unknown athlete: Although he had a great work ethic, Ceni has always been a very private man, considered grouchy, complaining and perfectionist on an almost toxic level. He never cared about pleasing the fans, becoming famous or being friendly with the media... his main objective was to bring practical results and honor the São Paulo shirt. Rogério was the athlete who defeated natural talent with hard work and focus.

First raymar, then daily dose talking about rogerio ceni in the same day, as a São Paulo fan i feel really happy

Rogerio is one of the GOATS. The amazing stat is he only conceded ONE goal from failed scoring attempts. He truly was an added striker.

I'm Brazilian and as a child I supported São Paulo because of Rogério Ceni. I went crazy not only for his free kicks and defenses, but mainly, it was common when the team was losing, he left the goal and went to play like a normal player to strengthen the attack leaving the goal without defense. My mind was always blown when he did this, the match was so exciting to watch because of him. I think this was missed in the video.

Eu sou torcedor do Corinthians, um dos maiores rivais do São Paulo e reconheço: esse cara é uma lenda do esporte. Se o mundo não fosse tão eurocêntrico ele teria muito mais reconhecimento no meio do futebol. Parabéns pelo vídeo!

As a coach, he's also a legend on Fortaleza, since he was one of the main contributors for the team to reach the first division of the brazilian championship and the level at wich it is now (playing continental championships like the South-American cup and the Libertadores).

Ceni was as good as a goalkeeper can be. He won the prize of best goalkeeper of Brazil 7 times (no other goalkeeper got more prizes). He won the prize of best goalkeeper in the Americas 6 times (no other goalkeeper did better). He is the goalkeeper who had the highest number of penalty keeping in the history of the sport. He was nominated to the Balon D’Or 3 times despite being a goalkeeper and playing outside Europe. He was decisive in winning the clubs World Cup against Liverpool, which had just made a phenomenal campaign and won the UCL. He was part of the Brazilian squad who won the World Cup in 2002. He was part of the São Paulo squad who beat Barcelona in 1993. He has the cleanest slate of a goalkeeper. The guy is an absolute legend and would be mentioned in every GOAT debate had he played in Europe. And he devoted himself to the same club his entire life.

Ceni is an absolute legend of the sport, an inspiration not only to goalkeepers, but also an example of determination and effort.

There is no football tv station that would recognize players like you do. You educate people. Thank you

You should mention Ceni's "last dance", in Sudamericana 2013. It's regarded by many as the best goalkeepers' performance ever.

World Champion twice: by the Brazilian National Team and by his club: São Paulo. A true legend.

People say Neuer changed how goalkeeper plays, but Ceni did it first being so good with his foot

Two times the best player of brazilian championship, not best goalkeeper, the best PLAYER, this guy have the most crazy accomplishments in the footbal history

thanks for making this video, not enough people know about him outside of Brazil

I'm from Brazil, and I'm a fan of Santos, one of the biggest rivals of Sao Paulo - but we have to recognize Rogério Ceni was a beast in his prime. It was so nice to have a goalkeeper scoring goals like him - I think this probably will never happen again

Eu nem sou de SP mas torcia pro São Paulo quando era piá, simplesmente por causa do Rogério Ceni. O cara era uma inspiração, tanto que eu queria ser goleiro também. Meu ídolo de infância. Foi um prazer ver esse mito jogar.

I am an extremely so huge supporter of the South American football ever since I was a child and Rogerio Ceni sir is a legend of the Brazilian and South American football despite widely being underrated to the core and I have been his boyhood supporter,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,ROGERIO CENI SIR!!!🏋️‍♂️

I'm a Santos supporter, and nothing made me tremble on my sofa like seeing my team concede a foul, and form a 4-man wall, just to see his all-black or all-red uniform stride through the sea of white jerseys from São Paulo. The only thing on my mind on those moments was "Ffs, man. He's gonna score again". I'm really glad to see him covered here.

I almost played for SPFC young teams, and Ceni was one of my idols back in time. Never thought I would see a video about him here, that's🔥🔥

Rogério is widely considered one of the best players, if not the single best player in Brasileirão history (not just keeper, player). This is a league that saw the likes of Pelé and Zico. The man was a beast and watching him live was amazing, every single set piece around the box was a very real scoring threat.

It's so good to see this legend getting some recognition outside of Brazil. If you haven't already, check his performance against Universidad Catolica in 2013. That is to me the prime performance of a goalkeeper in football history, we were supposed to have been destroyed but the man just said "well, nope, not today".

Rogerio Ceni also has the 2nd most cleansheets of any brazilian goalkeeper (417) only behind Fabio (currently at Fluminense) who has 424.⚽⚽⚽

Sou palmeirense, mas é indiscutível a grandeza do ceni, gigantesco

I'm a Corinthians supporter, but Rogério is the best GK I've ever seen in my life, I'll never forget his 100th goal, it was against my team.

"Everyone has a keeper, but only we have Rogerio Ceni", thats what we sang in the stadium for him, our best player of all time, the entire phrase would be "Everyone, everyone has a keeper, but only we have Rogerio, the killer keeper", always gives me chills to remember hearing it in a crowded stadium 😂

had the privilege of seeing him live in 2005 in Rio against fluminense. he didn't score, but watching him practice free kicks at half time was amazing

I have some friend in São Paulo and they told me Ceni is basically a living god there.

The most underrated goalkeeper of all time. He was excellent defending, too.

Rogério Ceni, figura mitológica do futebol brasileiro. Você pode ser torcedor rival, mas com certeza respeita. Cara foda. Marquinhos Gabriel aposentou ele na vila kkkkkk

Along with Tele Santana, Ceni may be why most people in South America think Sao Paulo is the greatet Brazilian team. Hope you will someday talk about Chilavert too, he lived crazy things during his career, as you said he scored a hat trick and against no other than his team rivals, and was awarded three times the IFFHS best goalkeeper award.

I've seen one of his goals when I was in the stadium, it was magical, the curve he put on the ball was unbelievable

It's nice to see people talking about this keeper in a non brazilian channel, Ceni was a true legend of this sport and more people worldwide deserves to know how good he was.

Eu sou Gremista e considero o Ceni o maior goleiro de todos os tempos. Não tem comparação, o que ele fez dificilmente alguém conseguirá novamente.

I'm a Corinthians fan (a rival of São Paulo), but i really appreciate this video. A lot of Brazilian players that never played in Europe don't receive the amount of honour they deserve. Pele, Garrincha, Ceni, Zico, Dinamite (the last two played, but aren't remembered). Again, thanks for talking about our legends in Brazilian football 💙

Eu não sou torcedor do São Paulo, mas um dos lances mais marcantes do futebol nacional pra mim foi ver o Ceni fazendo seu 100º gol (aquele que ele tá com a camiseta dourada) É um dos lances que me da nostalgia de lembrar haha

Rogerio Ceni is insane

Wow what a legend. Arguably the best Brazilian GK of all time. Thank you daily dose for this amazing content as always

I'm a Palmeiras fan, mostly because of my family, but growing up in the late 2000s I almost switched teams for São Paulo because of Ceni. Even though Palmeiras also had a crazy iconic goalkeeper (Marcos, from the 2002 world cup) no one come close to being as legendary as Ceni in Brazilian football to me. Watching him scoring free kick goals in the Libertadores every year was a blast. One of the best memories from my childhood.

This man deserves SO MUCH MORE RESPECT

Ceni is so underrated, it makes me happy to see people from other countries recognize his deeds and how great he was. VAMOS SÃO PAULO!

Rogerio's an absolut legend. When there was a foul or penalty for São Paulo, it was almost like an instant goal celebration. Greatest idol of my time as a supporter. He just had the bad luck to play at the same time as Dida and Marcos, so he never had a real shot in the brazilian national team. He's a coach now. Sadly didn't worked out in SPFC, so they parted ways. But as a supporter, i'll never stop admiring him as a player.

Ceni, um dos maiores da história

Rogério Ceni é o meu goleiro preferido, e eu sou flamenguista, ele tem todo meu respeito. Na minha opinião o goleiro mais lendário da América do Sul.

I have been following football since the early 90s, and I say without a shadow of a doubt: Rogério Ceni was one of the top 3 goalkeepers I have ever seen play. And the other two obviously were not capable of doing many of the incredible things he did. He was complete. Excellent as a goalkeeper in all the fundamentals that the position demands, a beast as a free-kick and penalty taker, and a playmaker (he provided 7 direct assists for goals, not to mention the chances that the attackers wasted). He also greatly helped the team in building up play from the back with great efficiency. He was also a great leader and a role model both on and off the field. He was greatly underrated throughout his career, of the limited opportunities he had with the Brazilian national team and never being seriously approached by top European clubs. In my opinion, this does not diminish the great football player he was. It would be only fair if FIFA awarded him some honorary award for everything he has done for the sport. I dare say that if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have witnessed the great revolution in the goalkeeper position that we saw with Neuer, for example, where the goalkeeper became important as a player who helps with their feet and plays in a more advanced position on the field. *He is the greatest idol of goalkeeper Ederson, to name just one. The nickname "myth" is well-deserved and accurate for him.

A Brazilian legend, long live Rogério Ceni.

Always rose up to the occasion, his best matches were the most important ones. Legend.

Finally a non-brazilian highlighting Ceni's career. I simply cant understand why people mention Chilavert instead of Ceni when talking about GK'S who take set pieces

Unknown heroes. Mythical figure. Respect for Rogerio ❤

Rogerio Ceni was a freaking Beast!! I don't know how people from other countries doesn't know him. Being Brazilian and not a São Paulo supporter, i always enjoyed watching Rogerio playing, specially as a kid who also was a goalkeeper. He was a beast, and deserves a LOT of respect.

If you look just to goals scored, it's impressive... but if you, also, look to how few free kicks he wasted, it's easy to say that this lad was the ultimate free kicker. A full ladder above the second best considering that guys like Juninho and Messi only converted into goals less than the half of their attempts. Rogério probably converted between 2/3 to 3/4 of his kicks

Wait people don't know about Rogerio Ceni? Might be showing my age here but he was so fun to watch highlights of as a kid, Also on every Football Manager I'd try and get him just cause of the crazy free kick stat.

this is perfect the only thing that u could add is the fact that he also was the sp coach not only once but twice. even reachih a suda americana final, unfortunately or fortunately for some he has been sacked not short after the final loss to del valle in suda americana final

He was also a master of ball reposition, started many counter attacks

Great video! I will never forget 2005-2010 seasons. That game against Cruzeiro still gives me the goosebumps every time I see it.

As a Sao Paulo fan i had the prvilege to see him play! I even was present on the game he scored his last goal! Eterno MITO!

Sou flamenguista mas Rogério Ceni era craque, marcou o 100° gol contra o Corinthians de cobrança de falta, foi um golaço, e tudo isso no maior time do Brasil, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 o cara era craque.

Wow nice I really love your content about local legends that are so versatile

Great video about my favourite football player of all time. Thanks for the regognition of brazilian stars. One last thing missed in the video was one of the most impressive games of Rogerio's carrer in 2013 against Universidad Catolica. He was 40 years old and made the best goalkeeper's match in football history that day.

Everytime I see someone praise Neuer for his footwork I remember Rogério was already doing that 10+ years before him

This is your Best Video Ever. Thank you for sharing this piece of Football history.

Melhor goleiro da história do brasil sou cruzeiro mais o cara é um monstro sagrado e jogou no real madrid do brasil sao paulo

Thank you for this video! I grew up a sao paulo fan in brazil!

My uncle is good friends with him. They were roommates at Sau Paulos academy. My uncle even has his shirt from when he scored his 100th goal. 😊😊😊

Maaan!!! So interesting! Thank you very much. Never heard of him before. A Sao Paolo legend!

I'm so glad you made this video, o Mito really deserves world recognition as a great goalkeeper. After he broke his ankle he was still very good but it's those previous years in his prime that was really a remarkable sustained performance. The fact they beat the unbeaten Liverpool and the saves he made that game just makes it pretty clear that at his peak he was a top goalkeeper in the world.

I'm very very proud to have a São Paulo jersey signed by him. I grew up watching him making history in São Paulo FC, and I literally cried when he announced his retirement, and played for the last time. He said: "When I die, I want my ashes to be spread here at Morumbi" (Cicero Pompeu de Toledo Stadium, in Morumbi Neighborhood). He loves this team. And, despite not being a good team coach, he was a legendary GK. I admire him a lot, and this team also.

Excellent video. I'm a São Paulo fan and i lived all of this, it was magical. #M1TO

Todos tem um goleiro, nós tivemos o Rogério Ceni! The greatest ever!

Really glad to see a video about this from the anglosphere! Ceni is an absolute brazilian LEGEND. Criminally underrated.

Fantastic video! Even though you covered so many historical aspects of his carreer, you still missed 2 important aspects: his fundamental role as sweeper keeper, being a pioneer in the role; and his fantastic match vs Universidad Católica, arguably his best match ever at the ripe age of 40 years old.

I'm a Vasco da Gama fan who watched the second half o Ceni's carreer. I can't explain for those who didn't live it how is to fear a goalkeeper for his offensive skills. His freekicks were a nightmare

Marcos was also a legendary gk. There's so much discussion about this, but the overall consense is that both are legends and Brazil was well-served on 2002.

11:06 I believe that until Riquelme's nomination in 2007 players in South America could not be nominated. It's still unfair though

As a São Paulo supporter, thank you for this video. Rogério indeed was a mith. Actually he is a coach now, with significant titles in Brazil. Congratulations for covering all important episodes and controversy’s in his career. Cansei do inglês, 😂 a camisa dele era a 01, o inverso da 10 pq ele era o 10 do gol. Passou 2 vezes pelo São Paulo como técnico, mas não obteve sucesso tendo problemas de relacionamento com jogadores e por ser um técnico que quase não adapta sua forma de jogar. Foi muito vitorioso com Fortaleza e com o Flamengo.

Sao Paulo my favorite team of Brasil. Saludos desde Chile

back in the day i watched a lot of Brazilian football and seeing an attack minded and goal scoring keeper like i was refreshing my all time favorit goal keeper is peter chec but ceni is my second favorite wish i had got to see more of him and also got to saw him playing in europe

You and Raymar made a video on the same day about the same person this is what why I love football content

Ceni also win the league as a coach for Flamengo. The man is a living legend!

Este é Rogério Ceni, com as mãos e com os pés um M1to. Maior da história do São Paulo FC e um dos maiores goleiros do Brasil. Parabéns pelo vídeo. Watching from brazil, congrats!

funny that you and raymar both uploaded a video about the same player. Tho I do feel bad for you :/ still gonna watch the vid!

bro this video made me cry because i remembered my childhood i grew up watching this legend

A lot of magic things happens in Brazilian football, we didn't win 5 World cups by luck. This is one of the best stories, great video! It got me emotional as a São Paulo fan

Well covered documentary, makes justice to Rogerio Ceni.

Amazing vídeo!

Rogerio Ceni is a legend

I used to watch the matches just to wait and see the free kicks . Ceni was and always will be one the greatest ever .❤

Raymar and Mr Lucas both upload a video on Ceni in the same day? Coincidence I think not.

8:48 and he did it live on television, as a surprise guest lol one of the best moments in brazilian football pop culture

00:13 Good to see our South African Oscar Masuluke in this video. That acrobatic kick in the final minute if injury time gives me goosebumps every time I see it. 😍😍🥰

My maximum idol in football. This guy was crazy and his love for my team, São Paulo, was beautiful. If he indeed performed like that in Europe, everyone would probably say he is one of the greatest of all time. Thanks so much for doing this video! Rogério Ceni deserves a lot of recogniton from what he did

Rogério, gigante! Quando ele atravessava o campo para cobrar a falta ou pênalti era um momento mágico. Sempre será lembrado e respeitado, defendeu o clube do coração até o fim, seja debaixo da trave, seja fazendo gols.

For anyone wondering how such a keeper wasn't a staple at the NT, apart from what was mentioned on the video, Ceni also had heavily competition with Marcos and Dida, who were also at their prime at the time. Also, Brazil had a lot of great FK takers at the time, like Juninho, Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos, so his FK ability was never really considered when coaches went to call up players for the NT. And lastly, he was considered by some pundits as just a mediocre keeper who can score goals, which is far from true, but mined the mind of a lot of people at the time.
