Casemiro, the king of the Champions League who also shines in Qatar 2022

casemiro He is a midfielder who performs beyond his responsibilities. The midfielder marks, removes, distributes and also scores. A) Yes, scored the 1-0 of Brazil over Switzerland that gave the Scratch qualification to the round of 16 of Qatar 2022.

Casemiro’s smile betrays his mischief. When they asked him why he signed for Manchester United if the English team did not play in the Champions League. “I already have five,” he said and laughed. That is the same man who, today, with an impressive right hand gave Brazil the victory against Switzerland.

Today’s Manchester United midfielder became king of the Champions League with Real Madrid. He won five ‘Orejonas’ with the white box, the same as Modric and Kroos, with whom they formed a spectacular trident in midfield.

He is a midfielder who became the savior of a Brazil that tried everywhere, but the Swiss wall did not allow him to find the goal. Even the VAR annulled Vinícius somewhat for off side in Richarlison’s previous play.

Casemiro stands as the leader in the Brazilian midfield, but also assumes having to step on the opposite area to generate more attacking weight for the Scratch. Thus, he had already warned against Serbia with a shot that he hit the post. Now, inside the area, his right hand was unassailable.

Casemiro has a place in history. With five Champions League wins, he is among the most winners of the European Cup. This season he does not play the tournament, but his name is associated with the great success of Real Madrid in the last decade.

Now, with the verdeamarelha, he is looking for the maximum glory of the World Cup. Look for rematches of the 2018 that he lived. He wants to be part of the Brazil that wins the World Cup after 20 years.
