The unexpected disaster happened when Germany scored 4 goals in six minutes on the way to demolishing Brazil 7-1, and thus reaching the Final of the World Cup !
As every supporter of Queens Park Rangers knows, the n° 1 goalkeeper at the club last year was Rob Green, not Julio Cesar the long time member of the World Cup squad of Brazil ! He was only the n° 2 choice !
For what reasons did Harry Redknapp not prefer Julio Cesar ? That is now the very interesting, topical, question ! In the World Cup he was generally impeccable. In the penalty shoot-out against Chili, he made two fanastic saves, yet he could not prevent Germany scoring 4 goals in six minutes ! Did Scolari, the Brazil trainer, at any time consult Harry Redknapp about Cesar ?
The consternation in the Brazil defence during the disaster, with everyone looking away from the goal, made me wonder whether the chink in the armour of Julio Cesar was that he does not know how to man-manage the players in his defence ?
What does Harry Redknapp think ? Someone from the Press will certainly want to interview him about this ! It will make interesting reading !
