Highs:
He is the most capped brazilian keeper, and 4th overall.
Had a great run with Galatasaray, being named MVP in 00's UEFA Cup final win, and being a fundamental part in the club winning a quadruple of titles that year.

Lows:
Never really played for a top european club, his only two domestic titles coming in Turkey at a time when Galatasaray was absolutely walking the league.
Due to this fact had somewhat of a lower recognition, unlike some of the other top goalkeepers of his day who were getting Champions League football every season.
