If Lionel Messi leaves Barcelona, Real Madrid defensive midfielder Casemiro could be the best player in La Liga.
Lionel Messi has said that he wants to leave Barcelona. The Argentine is not happy with the situation. Messi is frustrated with the problems surrounding the club. Messi is also upset with Barcelona’s central office for leaked reports that held Messi responsible for the firing of Ernesto Valverde.
On top of that, Messi has had conflicts with Quique Setien, who was fired after the gruesome 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals in Lisbon. Messi’s father Jorge Messi is reported to be in Barcelona to discuss Lionel Messi’s future with Barcelona or any other club. Lionel Messi did not show up for Barcelona’s first pre-training session and the first coronavirus testing session. All in all, Messi simply doesn’t want to be at Barcelona anymore.
We at The Real Champs will continue to monitor the situation of Lionel Messi. Maybe this is just the break that Real Madrid needed to dominate the league for years to come.
There is a player in the Real Madrid squad who does not receive as much recognition, and it is Casemiro. If Sergio Ramos were not at Real Madrid, then the importance of Casemiro would increase. The Brazilian midfielder has proven his importance to Zinedine Zidane and is a pioneer in La Liga in various defensive statistics. Casemiro is the destroyer of Real Madrid.
Casemiro led La Liga in several statistics last season
The gladiator who must overcome the challenges of the entire field as the attacks of the opposition make their way towards the goal of Real Madrid. Without Casemiro, Real Madrid is mostly in disarray. Casemiro’s performance in the entrances is especially outstanding. In the 23 rounds this season (of which he has played 21 games) he has 96 attempts, 20 more than the next player on the list. An impressive 66.2% (49) of these have been completed successfully.

Based on the statistics above, there is no central defensive midfielder that can dominate like Casemiro. The only player who comes close to him is Sergio Busquets. A younger option is Joshua Kimmich. He made the complete switch from winger to defensive midfielder in the Hansi Flick system at Bayern Munich. However, just because Casemiro is 28 years old does not make Kimmich’s case any better to become the best in the world. Kimmich will have to stay in Casemiro’s shadow for quite some time, as Casemiro is slowly entering his prime at Real Madrid.
Casemiro is a defensive midfielder who cannot be underestimated as an attacker. He scored four goals and three assists this season to take the league away from Barcelona. Again, the difference should not go unmarked. Everyone remembers his goal rocket in the Champions League in Cardiff. Defensive midfielders can be asked to attack with the baseline while defending. With Casemiro on the pitch, Real Madrid has flourished. Your contribution must not stop being marked as a defender or attacking player.
In conclusion, Casemiro’s performances will continue to improve. His statistics year after year have improved. Casemiro is averaging 2.7 tackles, 1.9 interceptions and 1.9 punts per game. That is already a lot of action for the Brazilian. He is coming off his best season, but Real Madrid fans believe a party awaits them next season.
