Midfielder Casemiro, one of the most experienced players on the Brazilian National Team, looked ahead to the Brazil match against South Korea, which will be played this Friday (10th) in Seoul. With 78 appearances for the national team and having played in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, the player emphasized the importance of facing opponents with different styles and commented on his leadership role in the group led by Carlo Ancelotti.
“I am one of those players who believes there are several leaders, several ways to lead. Everyone leads in their own way. I like to lead more by example,” said Casemiro.
The midfielder also highlighted the value of facing Asian teams at this stage of preparation. “With all due respect to other teams, South Korea and Japan are the main teams in Asia. Playing against high-level teams helps you understand the style of play and the level of the opponents,” he explained.
For the midfielder, the Brazil match this Friday will be a great test to assess the team’s current stage. “These matches are useful to get to know different schools of football and to prepare for the World Cup. It’s extremely important to diversify, because you never know who your opponent will be,” added the number 5.
