Casemiro is the reason Brazil are through to the knockout stages - his influence is part goals, part game management
“When we win, we all win together. When we lose, we all lose together. They have to chose a man of the match and it was me but this is a group and it’s not just about those on the pitch,” Casemiro said afterwards, reflecting the unity of this Brazil squad.
Casemiro’s goal was a moment of release for manager Tite, who embraced his son Matheus on the Brazil bench, burying his head in his shoulders before planting a tender kiss on his cheek. Don’t underestimate the pressure of shouldering the expectations of the world’s foremost footballing nation during a month when it feels like all eyes are on Brazil.
They come with a monster media contingent and the biggest, most vibrant support of any ‘away’ team at the tournament. Nothing less than victory will sate their collective thirst. Sometimes it looks as if they sense that. The first half was summed up when the lights were briefly lowered around the Stadium 974 as Brazil prepared to take a corner. It was fairly drab after the fireworks of the two earlier games, which provided 11 goals between them.
It got better in the second period, their improvement coinciding with the introduction of Newcastle’s Guimaraes, who injected energy and industry when he replaced the one-dimensional Fred.
