World Cup winner rates ex-Flamengo man above Casemiro | OneFootball

Gerson is currently at Cruzeiro

The World Cup has begun, and the Brazilian National Team remains a topic across all areas of the sports media right now. As such, Muller, a champion of the tournament with Brazil, stirred controversy by ranking Gerson, former Flamengo player, above Casemiro.

Muller, a former player who is now a commentator, took part in a game involving the called-up players. On that occasion, the former athlete compared them with players who were not called up to the Brazilian National Team. In the matchup between Gerson and Casemiro, the former Flamengo player was chosen.

It was not only Gerson, former Flamengo player, whom Muller picked. That is because the former athlete also chose Hugo Souza, Andreas Pereira, and Vinicius Júnior in matchups against Alisson, Bruno Guimarães, and Rodrygo.

WHAT IS GERSON’S SITUATION?

Gerson was called up by Carlo Ancelotti during the World Cup cycle. However, after his transfer to Zenit (RUS), the former Flamengo midfielder ended up losing ground in the Brazilian National Team.

On the other hand, Casemiro will play in his fourth World Cup with the Brazilian National Team. That is because the Manchester United (ENG) midfielder was part of the 2014, 2018, 2022 and now 2026 editions.

WHEN DOES THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM PLAY?

Therefore, with Casemiro available, the Brazilian National Team is focused on its World Cup opener. The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti will face Morocco on Saturday (13) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) in Boston.
