Casemiro, Brazil legend and Manchester United midfielder, praised his fellow countryman Bruno Guimarães and expressed his desire to continue playing alongside him in the future. Casemiro spoke about this after Brazil’s draw with Venezuela in the World Cup qualifiers.
Guimarães has been a key player in Newcastle’s rise to the highest levels of English soccer. One of Eddie Howe’s first signings, he has been instrumental in the team’s meteoric rise, contributing greatly to the Magpies now being back in the Champions League.
“Recently, Bruno has been doing an exceptional job at Newcastle. With every training session and every game, I feel more at ease with him. He’s a great player who has shown that in the toughest competition in the world. It’s not up to me to determine who I’m going to play with, but it’s clear that when you play with a player for longer, you adapt more.“
Casemiro, now 31, recognizes the fact that he may be approaching the final phase of his career. A five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, Casemiro said that although the final decision is out of his hands, he would very much welcome the chance to play with a talented star like Bruno Guimarães in the Seleção’s midfield.
