Rogério Ceni, record collector
1,000 games for São Paulo was the incredible total reached by Rogério Ceni in a 2-1 victory over Atletico Mineiro last night (September 7)
The 38-year-old, the 103-goal highest-scoring keeper in history, walked on to the turf hand-in-hand with his twin daughters, to a tremendous reception from 60,514 supporters – a record crowd for this season’s "Brasileirão". The Tricolor Paulista icon, who made his debut for the club in 1993, helped secure a first win in four attempts at the Morumbi, taking Adilson Batista’s side back to the top of the table. “This here is my life,” the highly emotional former Brazil international announced to the fans after the final whistle. “Thank you, I love you.”, said the goalkeeper. Ceni was born in Pato Branco (Paraná state), but was raised in Mato Grosso. His career at São Paulo began in 1990, when he was only 17 years old. For many journalists and fans, he is the greatest idol in the history of the club. In his time off, Ceni likes to play guitar and sing. While most players love samba and pagode, Rogério prefers rock 'n roll. One of his best friends is the composer Nando Reis, a former member of the band “Titãs”. Ceni is married to psychologist Sandra and is the father of twins, Clara and Beatriz. The marriage ceremony was performed by Father Marcelo Rossi.
