Casemiro is one of the best defensive midfielders we have ever witnessed. Casemiro started his professional career playing for his boyhood club Sao Paulo. He played 62 games with them. He joined Real Madrid in 2013. Even though he was sent to FC Porto on another loan, Real Madrid brought him back in 2015 and he went on to become a massive piece in their jigsaw.
He has been an important figure in Real Madrid’s midfield, which included Tony Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro. Zidane used Casemiro as a defensive midfielder which had a huge impact on Real Madrid’s performance.
Casemiro has won 154 tackles this season, which is humongous. He scored a long-range strike in the UEFA Champions League Final, against Juventus, in 2017.
