Casemiro, who plays for both Manchester United and Brazil, has expressed his admiration for Lionel Messi, who captains Argentina.
In a recent conversation with Placar, Casemiro remarked, “I didn’t get the chance to watch Maradona or Pele play, but I enjoyed watching the three greatest players of my generation: Messi, Cristiano and Neymar.”
Messi, now 36 years old, and Casemiro, then 31 years old, competed against each other for six years while playing for Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively.
Casemiro argued that if “you are a football fan,” then you should be a fan of the player who won the 2022 FIFA World Cup. “Messi made an era,” Casemiro said. “He was always competitive with Barcelona and Argentina, and there was no way out.” It was a treat to compete against someone of his caliber.
“He is the kind of person who invites neither praise nor criticism from others.
Casemiro said, despite his adoration for the seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, that he did not watch the 2022 World Cup final when the Argentine led his team to a victory in the tournament. Casemiro was playing for Brazil at the time.
“No, I didn’t watch it, and to tell you the truth, after our defeat, I don’t think I watched football for a month, and I didn’t turn on the TV,” she said. “No, I didn’t watch it.” It caused a great deal of agony.Licha, who is one of my closest friends, triumphed in the competition. I offer my sincere congratulations to him along with my admiration and respect. Lisandro is the only one of my pals who I can think of who may possibly deserve it,” he said.
