The Brazilian midfielder explains why he left Real Madrid, what Ancelotti did, and discusses Cristiano, Messi, and Mbappé.
Casemiro never forgets how great his stint at Real Madrid was. And, in that context, the Brazilian was overjoyed that the Merengue team had advanced to the UEFA Champions League semifinals after defeating Manchester City on penalties.
The Brazilian midfielder is in his second season at Manchester United and has reminisced about his best days as a footballer for the ‘White House’ in an interview with the show ‘El Chiringuito de Jugones’.
The Brazilian midfielder answered to everything and revealed that Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti loved him so much that he cried when he visited his office to say goodbye.
The DNA of Real Madrid
“It is tough to explain. It is a team that has been changed into the Champions League. It had that standout moment: Haaland’s ball strikes the crossbar and goes out… this Champions League team is outstanding. DNA is winning. If you just win the league, how come you haven’t won the Champions League? It’s like that. The demands do not fatigue you; rather, they are delightful. “You always have to press.”That is what it’s like to play for Madrid, to be under constant pressure.”
Manchester City – Real Madrid
“I suffered as a Madrid supporter. Of course, Madrid died, but I suffered for her. I already knew that City has really talented players and an incredible coach who knows what he’s doing. Madrid defended, defended, and defended. “I’m very happy for my former teammates.”
His life in England.
“Everything is going beautifully; everything is perfect. The Premier is fantastic, and it’s a pleasure to play. The family is also adjusting nicely… everything is fine.”
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi
“We enjoyed it and didn’t know what Messi and Cristiano did. We don’t place much significance on Cristiano’s football achievements and current activities, despite the fact that he scored 50 goals last year. What do you have to say about a player like that?
Mbappe is currently the top player in the world.
“Mbappé is one of the top players right now, if not the best. Very quick, very smart. He has a stride; he’s a bug on the field. He reminds me of Cristiano. He’s on the field, but he’s at risk of scoring. Cristiano was like that; he was smelling the goal. You should be afraid because he is going to score a goal. Cris was not feeling well, but it was clear that he was going to score. Those are star players, and Mbappé has them. He didn’t play well against Barcelona the other day, but he finished with two goals. “You can smell it in the field.”
His departure from Real Madrid.
“I’d won everything. She wasn’t going to give up, but she wanted to try something new. They didn’t let me leave that easy, but I wanted to learn a new language and play in a different league. United has performed admirably since the beginning.”
“I decided to depart a bit after winning the Champions League. I knew my time in Madrid was up; I was of the right age to leave, and I wanted to continue growing. People adored me, so making the decision was difficult.”
“I only hesitated once before leaving Madrid for Manchester United.” It was Friday, and everything was finished. I had to train, but I didn’t; the only thing lacking was the signature. I’m going to chat to Ancelotti, who already knew he was departing. He entered his office, turned around, and started crying. Carlo told me he didn’t want me to leave because he loved me so much… and I hesitated. “At Madrid they loved me very much, but I had already given my word to United and that is more important than anything.”
