We will learn about his glories at Fluminense, his journey through the New York Cosmos and his participation in the legendary Dream Team at Barcelona. We'll dive into lesser-known stories, the relationships that shaped him, and finally, what happened to the star player after he hung up his boots.
Julio César Romero Insfrán, better known as Romerito, born in Luque, Paraguay, on August 28, 1960), is a former Paraguayan player, who played as a midfielder.
He is considered by many in his country, as the best Paraguayan player of all time, for his refined technique combined with the race with which he gave himself to the matches.
Furthermore, he has the distinction of being the only Paraguayan player selected by former soccer player Pelé to form the list of the 125 best players in history, according to FIFA.
He became famous in Brazil after his prominence at Fluminense, the club where he was most successful throughout his career, and where he made his most memorable appearances, with undeniable technique, great sportsmanship and a warrior spirit.
Romerito is considered one of the greatest idols in the history of Fluminense, having scored the goal that won the Brazilian Championship in 1984 against Vasco and was elected the best South American player in 1985, third in the following year.
Born in Luque, Paraguay, he conducted the entire primary school in that same city. He married the Brazilian Alice Rozina Barreto for the first time, with whom he had three children, Júlio Romero, Joana Romero and Paloma Romero. Then, after separation, he once again married, this time with Giselle Vila, of Argentine nationality, with whom he shared 15 years of marriage, without children, and are now civilly divorced.
His start was at the club he loves in his home country, Sportivo Luqueño, aged just 17, where he quickly made a name for himself in the team, soon being promoted to the club's first team.
Romerito was hailed as a great player, and when he played in the 1979 U-19 South American Championship held in Uruguay, he was the top scorer with 5 goals and one of the highlights of this competition, in which Argentina had a certain Diego Armando Maradona emerging to the soccer.
