1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 9th news At 8:45, Beijing time on June 11, Brazil will face Paraguay in the 16th round of the World Cup qualifiers South America. Before the game, Brazilian midfielder Casemiro attended the press conference.
Working with Ancelotti again
Casemiro: “I was lucky enough to work with him when he coached Real Madrid for the first time and for the second time. There is no doubt that one of his strengths is humanity, his relationship with the players, this sense of closeness, and the ease with the players. Despite such a brilliant resume in football, he is still a humble person. This sense of humanity, this sense of freedom with the players is one of his strengths. As for the champion, his achievements can be talked about for a few days, but what really surprised me every day is his personal charm.”
Role in the national team
Casemiro: “First of all, it’s the role on the court, which is the most important thing for me. Do things well on the court, establish prestige, and pass on experience. Of course, afterwards, when you have worked with the coach and understand his work ideas, it’s really more convenient. Even if it’s easier to convey to others, I’m here for a longer time and have a better say in the locker room. I’m already a little easier. Let me say it again: Ancelotti is very easy to get along with, very humble, and willing to listen to opinions. It’s easier.”
Match against Paraguay
Casemiro: “Each game is a different story. When talking about the characteristics of the team, it is very likely…we are guessing here: this will be a game that emphasizes ball control, while Paraguay hopes to rely on counterattacks. This was the last match, we tried to tear the opponent’s defense line, while they looked for opportunities in the rapid offensive and defensive transition, relying on speed players. This will be a more test of psychological stability, and we must know how to grasp the right opportunity. As for the fans, if Brazil is concerned, Consider playing defensive football, that’s not OK. Brazil’s characteristic is offense. But we must improve. I said that we are in a good state now and it’s useless. Brazil must always maintain the highest level and always respect the opponent. Compared to the last game, we did not concede goals, and the defense was very stable. Now we need to take another step and do better off offense. Unfortunately, we only trained for three or four days, and now we have to restructure the offensive line and give priority to offense issues. All this is a construction process. At the pre-match arrangement meeting, the coach emphasized the issue of attitude many times. It’s not who defends better, but attitude. The team’s attitude in the last game was very good. Now, especially in this game against Paraguay, their characteristics are more inclined to counterattack. We must prioritize the offensive aspect and be more aggressive in the last thirty meters in front of the opponent’s goal. ”
Nemar
Casemiro: “What else can you say about Neymar? He is an unparalleled player, and in the football era I experienced, he was one of the top three: Neymar, Ronaldo and Messi. We know he needs good health. As long as he is in good health, he is undoubtedly the best. The coach said the same. It depends on whether Neymar can recover his good physical condition and regain his happiness. He is necessary for the national team and any club in the world. But he needs to be in good shape both physically and mentally. If this guy is in good condition, he is far ahead of everyone else. We need players of this level. When he is in good shape, his role will be earth-shaking, and he is a player from another planet. ”
The “master” of the national team
Casemiro: “I actually don’t count what I say. What is the final say here is the chairman and the head coach. We are joking after all. I am a soldier, like all players, a soldier of the head coach, a soldier of the Brazilian national team, and we all want to do the best for the national team. No one can tell the final word here. That ‘master’ is just a joke and is also a reflection of my relationship with Vinicius. ”
