Vinicius Jr reacts to Manchester United player’s performance v Barcelona
In the recent match between Manchester United and Barcelona at the Nou Camp, United fielded two former Real Madrid players in their starting line-up. Raphael Varane and Casemiro both played the full 90 minutes and proved to be key players in securing a 2-2 draw for their team.
Their experience was vital, and will be just as important in the second leg of the fixture. Casemiro, who was making his first appearance for United in 10 days after a domestic suspension, delivered a typical performance, winning 100 per cent of his tackles against Barcelona and 100 per cent of his aerial duels.
With his impressive display, Casemiro has shown why he is such an important player for Manchester United and how his experience and skills acquired at Real Madrid can be a valuable asset to his new team.
His rest ahead of the second leg of the fixture will ensure that he is fresh and ready to perform at his best once again.
Casemiro’s impressive track record as a five-times Champions League winner is an indication of his immense experience in top-level football, which makes him a significant asset for Manchester United.
After the 2-2 draw with Barcelona at the Nou Camp, Casemiro took to his Instagram account, which has a massive following of 19 million, to praise his team and talk up the challenge that lies ahead at Old Trafford. His words show his determination and commitment to his new team, which bodes well for United’s chances in the remainder of the competition.
In response to his post, Casemiro received a message from his former Real Madrid teammate and Brazil colleague Vinicius Jr, who used a slang term, ‘Joga muito,’ which roughly translates to ‘you played very well.’ This exchange shows the mutual respect and admiration that these players have for each other, and it’s clear that Casemiro’s performance in the match did not go unnoticed by his former teammate.
Casemiro has emerged as a talisman for Manchester United in midfield, as his quality and experience have made him difficult to replace when he has been suspended in recent weeks.
His impact on the team is reflected in the huge respect he commands from his teammates, which was highlighted by Luke Shaw in a pre-match press conference. Additionally, the message from his former Real Madrid teammate and Brazil colleague, Vinicius Jr, is another demonstration of the high regard that Casemiro is held in by those who have played alongside him.
With the second leg of the fixture against Barcelona coming up, Manchester United will be hoping that Casemiro can continue to play a pivotal role in the midfield and help his team to knock out their opponents. If he can deliver another strong performance, it would undoubtedly put a smile on the faces of his former Real Madrid colleagues.
