Casemiro

[Blaugrana Bull]

Finally. Good week for him especially.

 

[BarçaBarça]

Rumours that they will extend his contract. Great if true, because he isn't good enough, and if they sell Llorente, we should all rejoice!!

Rodrigo, De Jong or similar would all be more scary in that Real-midfield, as Casemiro is too weak-minded and tactically clueless.

 

[El Gato]

Beast.

Honestly bricking it before Osasuna where he'll probably get benched to save him for Atletico. He's irreplacable in the current state of affairs.

Hahaha

 

[te amo barca]

There was a time in 2016 or 2017 when he looked like the best destroyer DM in the world. He is regaining that level slowly.

 

[El Gato]

He's amazing.

Saw a thread on Twitter and checked out the stats myself, this guy is the most protected guy in the league.

This season he has 11 yellows from 75 fouls.

Pique has 12 yellows from 24 fouls.

It's his face man. Looks like a 30 year old baby.

It’s what you get for being a yappy ass prick like Pique.

What 11 yellows from 75 fouls? It’s Casemiro’s which are way out of proportion, not Pique’s. That was just there as a comparison.

Lol, to be honest Casemiro does one thing great. His fauls are done before the opponent pulls away.

There's like a principle where if you foul somebody while fighting for the ball, before he makes his first touch and pulls away, you will probably escape without a card. Where Casemiro should be punished way more is repetitive fouling.

Pique is the opposite. He doesn't make that many fouls, but when he makes a foul he looks like an absolute clown.

wolfe is right. casemiro usually puts on a innocent face after the most cynical fouls and rarely complains.

also helps that he plays for madrid.

The amount has nothing to do with severity. It’s far easier to apply “3 of these and you get a yellow” approach with Case, or even dismiss them entirely.

Pique being a yappy prick is a disservice to himself much like Ramos, where any foul they commit is likely to draw unfavourable looks from the ref.

I bet Casemiro has less yellows per foul than even Modric.

We have our ways of dealing with this stuff, with Xabi Alonso it was his charming beard, with Casemiro its his baby face.

If Casemiro played for any other club, he would already be the player with the most yellows and reds in history. You just have to watch the game against Bayern, where Vidal got an undeserved red, whilst Casemiro escaped 3 red cards in a single game.
