Casemiro He spoke about his new stage in Manchester, Real Madrid’s qualification at the Etihad, his departure from the white club and many more things in ‘The Jugones Chiringuito‘ by Mega. The Brazilian midfielder did not shy away from any topic and confessed that Ancelotti loved him so much that he even cried when he entered his office to say goodbye to him.

The DNA of Real Madrid

“It’s difficult to explain it. It’s a team that transforms in the Champions League. It has that star point: Haaland’s ball that hits the crossbar and goes out… this team in the Champions League is something incredible. The DNA is winning. Yes You only win the League, why haven’t you won the Champions League? It’s like that. The demand doesn’t exhaust you, you always have to push. That’s what it’s like to play for Madrid, that pressure every day.”

City-Real Madrid

“I suffered as a Madrid fan. Of course Madrid passed but I suffered for Madrid. I already knew, City has very good players and an incredible coach, who knows what he is playing. Madrid defended, defended and defended. I am very happy for my former colleagues.”

Living in England

“Everything is going very well, everything is perfect. The Premier League is incredible, it is very nice to play in it. The family’s adaptation is also going well… everything is great.”

Mbappé reminds me a lot of Cristiano, even if he’s not there he’s going to score a goal

Cristiano and Messi

“We have enjoyed and we don’t realize what Messi did, what Cristiano did. We don’t value much what Cristiano did in football and what he is doing, last year he scored 50 goals. What are you going to say about a player So?”.

Mbappé

“He is one of the best of the moment, if not the best. Very fast, intelligent… He has a stride, he is a bug. He reminds me a lot of Cristiano. He is on the field, but he is in danger of scoring. Cristiano was like that, he is smelling the goal. You have to be worried because he is going to score a goal. Cris was not well, but you could tell that he was going to score. Those are star players and Mbappé has that. Against Barça the other day he didn’t have a good game, he finished and left with two goals. You smell it in the field.”

His departure from Madrid

“I had won everything. It’s not that I wasn’t going to keep pushing, but I wanted new things. They didn’t let me leave so easily, but I wanted to learn a new language, play in another league. United have behaved very well from day one “.

Ancelotti told me that he didn’t want me to leave, that he loved me a lot… and then I hesitated.

“I decided to leave a little after winning the Champions League. I already saw that my time in Madrid was over, I was at a good age to leave, I wanted to continue growing. The decision was not easy at all, people loved me a lot.”

“I only hesitated once about leaving Madrid for Manchester United. It was a Friday and everything was done. I had to train and I didn’t train, the only thing missing was the signature. I’m going to talk to Ancelotti and he already knew I was leaving. He entered his office, turned around and was crying. Carlo told me that he didn’t want me to leave, that he loved me a lot… and then I hesitated. At Madrid they loved me very much, but he had already given my word to United and that is more important than anything.”
