Júlio César, Brazil’s hero in the penalty shootout win against
Chile, reflected on the prize of a World Cup quarter-final and said he
felt he had won back the country’s trust after being the scapegoat in
South Africa four years ago.
Júlio César saved Chile’s first two
penalties and referred immediately to his mistake in the quarter-final
against Holland at the last World Cup. “After what happened in 2010 I
see now how many people are cheering for me and wanting the best for
me,” he said. “After the last World Cup to be labelled as the villain
was very hard for me.
“I got the support of my family but this win
allows me have the necessary strength to go forward. Now, I just hope I
can celebrate with the people of Brazil by kissing the World Cup.
“This
was very special after what happened after the last World Cup. I’d like
to dedicate this to my mum and dad, the staff and 200 million
Brazilians. I apologise if I talk too much. But I am trying to sum up
four years’ work here.”

Júlio César, who joined Toronto from Queens Park Rangers in
February, had broken down in tears before the shootout and was still
visibly emotional as he collected his man-of-the-match award. “Before
the penalties Júlio said: ‘Hit them with confidence and I’ll stop
three,’” his team-mate Thiago Silva said. “It was preordained. Chile
were a great team but we found strength.”*
Luiz Felipe Scolari
described the game as a “war” and “very emotional” and identified Neymar
for special acclaim for not being deterred by a thigh injury he
suffered in an early challenge with Gary Medel. Neymar, he said, would
need treatment to face Colombia on Friday. “This was the fourth step,”
Scolari said of Brazil’s victory. “There are three more. Then we can
reach heaven.”

But flash forward seven years later, and Kim Kardashian has dramatically transformed her look.
