See what the career of Cássio, the legend of the team, was like until he reached the top of football.

But first of all, if you still don't know where to watch the World Cup games, how about checking out the best sites so you don't miss anything about this competition?

The goalkeeper wrote his name in the history of Corinthians, and above all, in the history of Brazilian football.

Being the idol of a team playing as a goalkeeper is no easy task. Therefore, follow the first steps, and the player's main numbers and titles in his career.

The athlete began his career at Grêmio in 2005, as he was born in Rio Grande do Sul and the gaucho tricolor was his first opportunity in professional football.

Even with just a few games, he was called up to join the Brazilian under 20 team. After good performances, he was South American champion for the team, and was soon called up to be part of the main team.

The great goalkeeper Cássio also made history in Europe, playing for the famous PSV, the team where he won the 2007-2008 Eredivisie titles and the Dutch Super Cup. Still, without much protagonism.

In addition, he played for Sparta Rotterdam, where he played several games as a starter. Afterwards, he was returned to PSV, returning to the reserves.

The next moment was what transformed his life. In 2012, the player was transferred to Corinthians, a team that changed his history forever.

The goalkeeper arrived at the helm to be just a second option, that is, to play only if the starter was injured, among other reasons.

It was not surprising, since the starter was Julio Cesar de Souza, who was in good form and had just won the 2011 Brasileirão, as main goalkeeper, gaining even more the team's trust.

However, after Cássio's arrival, Julio performed poorly in a sequence of matches, which gave the newly hired player an opportunity to enter the field.

In his first match for Coringão, he already won, 1 x 0 against XV de Piracicaba.

With good games he won absolute title.

But it was in the 2012 Libertadores that Cássio began to shine, playing incredible games. 

Really unbalancing games with their defenses. His first game in the Libertadores was already considered the best on the field.

One of his most remembered defenses in this competition was against Vasco da Gama in the quarter-finals.

Striker Diego Souza manages to steal the ball in a counterattack, and ends up coming face to face with Cássio, making a low hit into the left corner of the goalkeeper, who jumps and manages to lightly touch the ball, diverting the necessary millimeters to prevent the ball. goal that would take the helm of the competition.

After these spectacular performances, Cássio became one of the team's idols, becoming an irreplaceable player.

After ensuring that Corinthians reached the quarter-finals, he also directly influenced the unprecedented victory of the Libertadores by Timão, a team that left the championship undefeated.

The team that is the Libertadores champion, consequently, wins the right to compete in the Club World Cup.

And it was after this title that Cássio and Corinthians went.

This competition brings together the champions of the Championships: Libertadores da América, CAF Champions League, UEFA Champions League and CONCACAF Champions League.

The initial clashes were:

Corinthians (Libertadores) 1 x 0 Al-Ahly (CAF)

Chelsea (Champions League) 3 × 1 Monterrey (CONCACAF)

Therefore, in the very final, Timão faced the feared champion of the most important championship in Europe, the feared Chelsea.

Where they won the title 1 x 0 in a very difficult game.

This year, the English team defeated Barcelona at one of their peaks and Bayern Munich, arriving as favorites for the title.

But they didn't count on Gigante Cássio, who once again gave a gala performance and stopped the great England team.

Chelsea had stars such as: Torres, Drogba, Lampard, Hazard and Mouses. However, none of them managed to pass the Cassius wall.

The giant stopped several shots from these great players. However, his most difficult and most important defense was against the attacking Mouses.

The Chelsea player received the ball alone near the left side of the penalty area, with a shot, placing the ball in the left corner of goalkeeper Cássio, who jumped very high, deflecting the ball a few centimeters, avoiding the English goal.

Timão's winning goal came in an area ball dispute close to goalkeeper Petr Čech's goal, where the Corinthians striker took advantage of the defender's poor positioning and headed the ball into the goal, guaranteeing the victory by a score of 1 x0.

Giant, Cássio, a 196 cm goalkeeper, received the award for best player of the match.

This was the beginning of the goalkeeper's great career, in the following years he continued to maintain his great level of performance, being decisive in many other moments.

The Corinthians athlete won the following titles with the team:

He also became the goalkeeper with the most appearances for the team, reaching an impressive number of 628 appearances with the team's shirt.

He is also the eighth player with the most titles for the team.

We know that becoming a club idol as a goalkeeper is very difficult, and it was like this, with a career full of titles and brilliant performances, that goalkeeper Cássio entered Corinthians history.

The player continues to perform at a high level, being decisive in several moments.

However, he is already 35 years old, and Corinthians must now be preparing to find a replacement, at least so that if the player retires, they have a plan B.

The contract with the idol runs until 2024, the team has some time to plan, however, finding someone to replace a goalkeeper like Cássio is not an easy task.
