Casemiro showed a professional attitude before the match with Liverpool. |
According to The Athletic , Matheus Cunha was allowed to rest until Friday, but was still present last Thursday for individual recovery training. And his unexpected companion was Casemiro. Both were then in the starting lineup, helping MU win 2-1 against Liverpool on October 19.
Notably, Casemiro surprised everyone when he played the full 90 minutes in Brazil's 2-3 defeat to Japan in a friendly match in Asia on October 14. Meanwhile, Cunha only played for about 30 minutes. However, Casemiro did not need to rest, but immediately rushed to practice in time for the away trip to Anfield.
At 33, Casemiro is no longer the durable sweeper he was when he played for Real Madrid, but the value he brings to MU is still different. In the 58 minutes on the field, the Brazilian midfielder showed the image of a true leader with composure, precision and courage.
Casemiro won 75% of his duels, made two decisive tackles and was never once passed by an opponent. Alongside Bruno Fernandes, he helped solidify the "Red Devils" midfield, bringing the necessary sense of initiative and control.
But those numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. What makes Casemiro so classy is his ability to read the game and dictate the tempo. Even his yellow card for his tackle on Mohamed Salah shows his alertness in defensive thinking.
It is not surprising that coach Amorim took the initiative to take Casemiro off early because for him, the Brazilian midfielder is the spiritual foundation of the whole team. Casemiro is no longer at his physical peak, but his champion qualities are still intact.
