Formed at São Paulo, where he scored 11 goals in 112 official games, he moved to Real Madrid in 2013, and also spent a season on loan at Porto. He was part of the Real Madrid squad that won four Champions Leagues, from 2013–14 to 2017–18.
A full international since 2011, Casemiro was in Brazil's squad at three Copa América tournaments as well as the 2018 FIFA World Cup, winning the 2019 Copa América.[5]
Club career
São Paulo
Born in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Casemiro was a product of São Paulo FC's youth system. From the age of 11 upwards, he acted as captain to its sides;[6][7] he was known as "Carlão" – an augmentative form of his first name in Portuguese – early on, and would be called up for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[8]
Casemiro made his Série A debut on 25 July 2010, in an away loss against Santos FC. He scored his first goal as a professional on 15 August, helping to a 2–2 draw with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube.[9]
On 7 April 2012, Casemiro scored the first goal of a 2–0 win over Mogi Mirim Esporte Clube at the Arena Barueri in that year's Campeonato Paulista after replacing the injured Fabrício early on, but was later sent off.[10] São Paulo also won the Copa Sudamericana, with the player making one substitute appearance in a 5–0 home success against Club Universidad de Chile in the quarter-final second leg on 7 November.[11]
Real Madrid
In late January 2013, Casemiro was loaned to Real Madrid in Spain, being assigned to the B-team in Segunda División.[12] He played his first game in the competition on 16 February, starting in a 1–3 defeat at CE Sabadell FC.[13]
Casemiro made his La Liga debut on 20 April 2013, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 home win over Real Betis.[14] On 2 June he scored his first goal in Europe, opening the reserves' 4–0 win over AD Alcorcón at the Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium;[15] eight days later, the move was made permanent for four years and a fee of R$18.738 million.[16][17][18]
Casemiro was loaned to FC Porto on 19 July 2014, in a season-long loan.[19] He totalled 40 games overall for the Portuguese, netting four times[20] including a free kick on 10 March 2015 in a 4–0 home win (5–1 aggregate) over FC Basel in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.[21]
On 5 June 2015, Casemiro returned to Real Madrid who activated his buyback clause,[22] and two months later his contract was extended until 2021.[23] On 13 March of the following year, he scored his first competitive goal for the Merengues, heading home an 89th-minute corner kick by Jesé in a 2–1 victory at UD Las Palmas.[24]
After being mostly a reserve player under Rafael Benítez, Casemiro became first-choice under his successor Zinedine Zidane,[25] and contributed with 11 appearances in the season's Champions League as the tournament ended in win. In the final against Atlético Madrid, he featured the full 120 minutes in a 1–1 draw in Milan (penalty shootout triumph).[26]
Casemiro scored four goals in 25 matches in the 2016–17 campaign, helping his team win the national championship for the first time in five years.[28][29] He scored a long-range strike in the Champions League final against Juventus FC, helping his side to a 4–1 victory;[30] he again found the net on 8 August 2017, putting his team ahead in an eventual 2–1 defeat of Manchester United for the UEFA Super Cup.[31]
During the 2017–18 Champions League, Casemiro made 13 appearances while scoring one goal,[32] when Madrid won their third consecutive and 13th overall title in the competition.[33]
International career
After appearing with the under-20s at the 2011 South American Championship and the 2011 World Cup,[34] Casemiro made his debut for the Brazil senior side on 14 September 2011, in a 0–0 draw against Argentina, aged just 19.[35] He was named by manager Dunga in the Brazilian squad for the 2015 Copa América, but did not play any matches in the quarter-final exit in Chile.[36]
On 5 May 2016, he was named among the 23-man list for the Copa América Centenario to be held in the United States.[37]
In May 2018, Casemiro was selected by manager Tite for the upcoming edition of the FIFA World Cup in Russia.[38] He made his debut in the competition on 17 June, playing 60 minutes in a 1–1 group stage draw to Switzerland.[39]
In May 2019, he was included in Brazil's 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América on home soil.[40] In the final group game at the Arena Corinthians against Peru, he scored his first international goal to open a 5–0 victory, but was also sent off for two yellow cards and suspended from the next match.[41] He started in Brazil's 3–1 victory over Peru in the 2019 Copa América Final on 7 July, at the Maracanã Stadium.[42]
Style of play
—Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone before the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final[43]
Casemiro mainly plays as a defensive midfielder,[44] although he has also been deployed in a box-to-box role in the centre of the pitch,[45][46] or even as a centre-back on occasion.[47] While he is not particularly talented or skilful from a technical standpoint[48][49][50] (although he was able to improve in this area under manager Zinedine Zidane during their time at Real Madrid together),[51] Casemiro is an intelligent, physically strong, mobile, aggressive, and hard-tackling midfielder, with an extremely high work-rate.[51][46][52][53] While he is mainly known for his ability to provide balance to his teams by supporting his more offensive-minded teammates defensively, and distributing the ball to them accurately after winning back possession, he is also a well-rounded midfielder, who possesses a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, and reliable distribution, as well as an ability to get forward with his runs off the ball, or start attacks with his passing; these characteristics also enable him to contribute offensively, or even score goals, in addition to breaking up plays.[46][54][55][56][57][58] Moreover, his quick reactions, as well as his excellent positional sense, ability to read the game, and good anticipation, enable him to excel in a holding midfield role in front of the defence, by cutting out counter-attacks and shielding the back-line.[46][51][59][60][61] Often described as a "destroyer" in the media,[62] he has drawn praise from pundits for his energetic and combative style of play,[63][64][65] as well as his tactical awareness and abilities as a ball winner, which enable him to cover ground, track back, and press opponents.[54][58][60][66][67][68] His tenacity on the pitch, exemplified by his fierce challenges and stamina,[69] have led Marca to nickname him "The Tank.”[70] In addition to his footballing abilities, he also stands out for his competitive spirit, mentality, consistency, and determination on the pitch.[51][71] Despite mainting a good disciplinary record, he has, however, also come into criticism in the media at times over his excessively aggressive challenges on the pitch.[72] Casemiro's playing style has drawn comparisons with that of former Real Madrid defensive midfielder Claude Makélélé,[51] as well as compatriot Toninho Cerezo.[56]
