Cesar aiming high with QPR

QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar says that he dreams of winning the Premier League title with his new club.

The 32-year-old has agreed a four-year deal with Mark Hughes’ side and will compete with fellow new signing Robert Green for a place in the starting 11.

Cesar, a Champions League winner with Inter, is aiming to repeat his achievements in Italy with his new club in the English top flight.

“I have many dreams at QPR,” Cesar told the Daily Mail. “To play well for the fans, the manager, the chairman and myself. And eventually finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League and then one day win the Premier League.

“It is possible. A few years ago nobody believed Manchester City would ever win the Premier League. So we have to dream. When you dream, things can happen. That’s the reason I came here.”

The Brazil international did admit, however, that the club have a long way to go from their 5-0 humiliation at the hands of Swansea City on the opening day of the season.

“I saw the first game … It was terrible for them and they had some problems but these things happen in football,” he said.

“When I met the coach I asked him what happened in the first game. But they drew away in the second game (1-1 against Norwich) and that’s a good result.”

QPR face defending champions Manchester City on Saturday and Cesar could make his debut against his former manager, Roberto Mancini.

“I hope to be the number one, but I have to work hard,” he said. “I have the ability but I know the Premier League is hard.

“My first game could be against my first coach in Europe. Roberto Mancini brought me to Inter. They have done well but we have to believe we can beat them.”
