The two faces of Casemiro

The paper of Casemiro in Real Madrid it has been revealed, with the passage of time, fundamental for the good performance of the engine room of the white set. However, the performance of the Brazilian in the wide zone of the merengue team offers a series of chiaroscuro that are not necessarily linked to that arbitration permissiveness that on Sunday, for example, before the I raised allowed him to finish the game despite having committed at least one foul that was worthy of a yellow that would have led to his expulsion.

The match statistics offered by Opta confirm the importance of Casemiro as recuperator of the team. He was, with 11 balls recovered, the merengue leader in this section of the game. However, these statistics also indicate him as the merengue player who more balls lost during the ninety minutes: up to 18 times he was unable to retain the ball in his power under the pressure of the granota players.

On the positive side, it should also be noted that it was the merengue footballer who more ball touches gave, a total of 82. And on the negative, it was the one that more faults committed, with the three that the referee of the match whistled, among which the two that Munuera Montero ignored and that could suppose his expulsion.
