I'm not alone, everyone is the best: said match winner Casemiro
No Neymar. Who will win Brazil? Brazilians' answer to critics' questions - every member of the team is a Neymar. Coach Tite has built the team in such a way that they do not depend on a particular footballer.
That was seen against Switzerland. The lack of Neymar was not felt much. The way Rafinha and Vinicius Jr. attacked one after the other on the two wings, the way Casemiro, Paquetara created the foundation of the game in the midfield, and the way Richarlison went into dangerous positions one after the other, Switzerland was in danger.
They entered the field with the promise that they will not score goals, they will not concede goals. But once Vinicius broke through their defence, it was ruled out for offside. Later, Casemiro's goal saved Brazil.
Casemiro is nicknamed 'The Tank' in the Brazil camp. The devastating goal of that tank did not only bring three points, but at the same time the knockout was confirmed for Brazil. Neymar's message came after the end of the match. Where Neymar said, 'Casemiro is the best midfielder in the world right now.'
At the press conference after the match, coach Titeo gave full support to Neymar's words. Brazil coach said, 'Neymar did not say anything wrong. I would also say that the best midfielder in the world right now is Casemiro.
But at the end of the match, Casemiro, who is so much talked about, gave everyone the credit for the victory. No extra excitement. He has more team than himself. Despite being man of the match, he is reluctant to take any credit for himself. At the end of the match, he was saying, 'I have become the best of the match; But this award should go to everyone in the team. We were able to win because everyone gave their best. No team wins for good play alone.'
The 2014 World Cup dream was dashed by losing the semi-final at home. Four years ago, Russia lost in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. This time, of course, Tit's team looks like champions from the beginning. The talk has started, this time Brazil is the only claimant of the trophy.
The way the team played in the first two matches raised the expectations. Brazil's 'Tank' was also questioned about these press conferences. It is asked, where do you see the difference between this team and the last World Cup team? Casemiro said clearly, 'this time's team is much more balanced. Too many match winners in the team.
He also said, 'If you see, our team this time is much stronger. The team has many options. Many match winners. Most of those in the squad play for big clubs. And everyone is the best in their own club.'
Casemiro did not say anything wrong. Vinicius, Rodrigo, Rafinha, Antoni, Gabriel Jesus - they all play in the famous clubs of the world. Some are at Real Madrid, some at Barcelona, some at Manchester United, some at Arsenal.
Casemiro, too, recently moved to United from Real. At the end of the match, Tai said, 'Everyone in our team knows who has to do what. So there is no problem to find the match. Plus, our defense is great. Our goalkeeper Alisson has had nothing to do so far. Because our defense starts from Richarlison's feet! You will be surprised to hear; But our first line of defense is Richarlison.'
