Mini bio

How it started.

Júlio César grew up in Paulínia and pursued football through Ponte Preta and Guarani. In a 2022 interview with Lance!, he recalled having around 100 subscribers when he filmed with Jukanalha. As the route into professional football became harder, making videos offered another way to keep goalkeeping at the center of his life.

Why the helmet.

He told Lance! that his mother recommended protective headgear after he hit his head on the crossbar. Petr Čech helped inspire the look. The helmet became his signature, while a camera mounted on it let viewers see matches from the goalkeeper’s position.

Finding his audience.

Filming with Desimpedidos creators helped him build connections with NWB. In the same interview, he described joining the network and taking part in the 2022 Supercopa Desimpedidos as a turning point.

A family effort.

Paulínia’s council records describe his mother Natália selling the family car to buy recording equipment and becoming his camera operator. Júlio taught himself editing during the pandemic. His work now also includes the Capaça FC clothing and goalkeeper-equipment brand, alongside football videos and Capaça Kids uploads.
