Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has insisted that the Red Devils style of play is different from Real Madrid.
Recall that Casemiro joined Man United last summer and he has been an valuable addition to the team this ongoing season.
However, he admits he has a very different role compared to his time with Real Madrid.
“Every team has its own way of playing. It’s true here I have a greater role in attack,” he began.
“The style of play here is different, the build-up play, the manager, the league, the club are all different. Every club has their own way of playing, the most important thing is adapting quickly, that’s what I try to do.
“I’ll say it again, it’s impossible to do it on your own. There’s the quality of my team-mates. There’s Licha [Lisandro Martinez] and [Raphael] Varane – high quality players. Christian [Eriksen] who I played alongside for a long time, another exceptional player. Fredinho [Fred], another excellent player, then there’s Bruno [Fernandes] who plays a bit further forward, a world-class player.”
The Brazil international believes that his role is more “creative” for the Reds than the one he had at Real Madrid, but maintains that his priority is supporting his team-mates and giving United “balance.”
“Every player has their role, maybe here [at United] I have got more of a creative role, but as I always like to say, my job is different.
“Everyone knows my role and I’m sure it’s why Manchester United signed me – to give the team balance, support my team-mates in defence, help the midfield, the full-backs and the centre-backs, close the gaps.
“That’s what’s most important in my role. Of course, goals and assists are important and make everyone happy, but the role of the defensive central midfielder today is the one I’ve just described.”
