Rogério Mücke Ceni (born 22 January 1973) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for São Paulo FC as a goalkeeper.

Most of his professional career, which spanned more than two decades, was associated with São Paulo FC, with which he won 14 major titles, including three Brazilian Leagues and two Copa Libertadores. He also scored more than 100 goals during his career, from penalties and free kicks,^[1][2] becoming the first and only player in his position to reach that milestone.^[3][4]

Recognized by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics as the goalkeeper to have scored the most goals in the history of football, surpassing José Luis Chilavert in 2006, Ceni represented Brazil at two World Cups.

Club career

Born in Pato Branco, Paraná, Ceni made his senior debuts with Sinop Futebol Clube, still a junior. In 1990, the 17-year old joined São Paulo FC, spending his first six seasons in Série A as a backup or third-choice.

In the 1997 season, one year after legendary Zetti moved to Santos FC, Ceni was chosen as his replacement. From 2005–07, he scored an astonishing 47 goals in all competitions combined, as the club won two national championships and the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup; in the latter competition, he netted in the semifinals against Ittihad FC (3–2, through a penalty kick), and was voted Man of the match in the final against Liverpool, as well as the tournament's MVP.^[5]

On 14 July 2005, Ceni was São Paulo's captain as the team won the 2005 Copa Libertadores, a third for the club. Two weeks later, in a match against Clube Atlético Mineiro, he broke the record for most appearances for the team, with 618 matches - he wore a special commemorative jersey that had the number "618" printed on the back; on 25 July of the following year, he scored a penalty against Mexican side C.D. Guadalajara (also a match-winner), becoming the Tricolor's all-time leading scorer in the Libertadores.^[6]

On 20 August 2006, Ceni scored his 63rd and record-breaking goal by netting a free kick against Cruzeiro Esporte Clube in the domestic league, a few minutes after denying a penalty to the opposition. Later in the same match, he scored a from the spot and took his total to 64, also tying the match 2–2; this put him two goals ahead of the previous holder, Paraguayan José Luis Chilavert.^[7]

On 29 October 2006, Ceni made his 700th official appearance for São Paulo, against Figueirense Futebol Clube in a 2–0 victory. Some of the gloss was taken off the occasion when the player was ordered to change his bright yellow jersey because it clashed with the referee's; at the end of the 2007 season, which ended in league conquest, he was voted by the Brazilian Football Confederation as the Best Player.

In April 2009, Ceni fractured his ankle in training, being initially sidelined for six months,^[8] but recovering sooner than expected. On 28 October 2010, against Clube Atlético Paranaense, he played his 700th game as club captain.^[9] The following year, on 27 March, he scored from a free kick to win it against Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, shooting from 18 metres for his 100th official goal.^[10]

On 7 September 2011, Ceni made his 1000th appearance for São Paulo.^[11] In late January of the following year, the 39-year old underwent an operation on his shoulder, losing six months of competition.^[12]

International career

A Brazilian international for nine years, Ceni collected 16 caps. He was selected to the squads that won the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2002 FIFA World Cup (and the 2006 World Cup, still not fully recovered from knee surgery^[13]), but only appeared in two games in final stages, the 3–2 win against Mexico in the first tournament and the 4–1 triumph over Japan in the third.^[14]
