Live Bar Feb. 10 – Casemiro recently appeared on the cover of the Spanish football magazine Panenka, where he talked about Messi in an interview.
- Miss Messi?
Casemiro: "No, no, no, not at all, it's impossible to miss Messi!" And I'll tell you that the impact of his absence is significant, and everything he does for Barca is obvious. He can make everyone who has seen him like him, he is such a player. If you love football, you love Messi. He is one of the top three in the history of football. After leaving Barca, in this transitional phase, you can see how important he is to Barca. That's why, he's a hallmark of the club. ”
"Messi will come to the Bernabeu again soon, but we will be ready because it is impossible to stop Messi alone and the team-mates have to help me. It will be a wonderful game against Paris. ”
Is there a similarity between your first year without Cristiano Ronaldo and Barca's first year without Messi?
Casemiro: "It's normal, we didn't realize it because they were still around us, but Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both changed the football. Former top scorers can score 20 to 25 goals a season, and the duo have raised the stats to 40, 50 or 60 goals, seemingly impossible stats, and they have changed the sport. Cristiano Ronaldo scored more goals than he made more appearances at Real Madrid, which is a crazy thing. When such a player leaves the team, it is normal for the team to miss him. They marked the times. ”
"But I think the key is for (the club) to make changes as soon as possible and Barca have to adapt to that reality. Real Madrid have re-adapted to this situation and Barca can do it, I'm sure. Because these clubs are the biggest clubs in the world and will always have the best players in history. ”
