César Aparecido Rodrigues (born October 24, 1974 in São Paulo), better known just as César, is a Brazilian footballer, who is now playing for Internazionale of Italian Serie A. He plays in the role of left back or winger, and wears the jersey number 31.
César started his career at CA Juventus, a small São Paulo team at the time. In 1994 his team was promoted to the top division of the state and the team was awarded an amount of money for the success; however this money was stolen, and César was discovered to be involved, giving information about the delivery, and sentenced to 5 years and 4 months of jail. In 1998 he was released, and returned to football, thanks to the intervention of São Caetano, a team which had signed him one year before being arrested, and loaned to União Barbarense, a satellite club. When back to São Caetano, César immediately became a key player, even becoming the team captain. He then led his team from minor leagues up to the National Brazilian championship finals in 2000.
After being tracked by Lazio for some time, in the summer of 2001 César joined the Italian Serie A team, becoming an important player for the Roman team. In January 2006, after a long courtship, Inter Milan loaned César, giving him the opportunity to play in one of the leading teams of Italy. At the summer of 2006, the contract with Lazio ended. Cesar joined Inter, signed a long term contract. But César was transferred to major Brazilian Série A team Corinthians on loan. However, on December 2006, the end of Brazilian season, César declared his willingness to return to play in Italy; he signed by Livorno on loan in January 25, 2007, to replace the left of César Prates.[1]
On February 11, 2007 he played his first Serie A match for Livorno against Inter [2]
He started the 2007/08 Season in good form with Internazionale linking up well with Maxwell down the left flank even managing to get a goal. However, since then, he has been dropped from the squad again, and only featured against Torino, for 45 minutes, during which he disappointed many Inter fans, and was taken off at half time for Luis Jimenez, due to the large number of injuries the Inter squad had suffered.
