Since Xabi left, we have suffering a lot in defensive midfielder position and we have played many players in that position but it was not successful. We have three defense midfielders in our team [ Khedira, Illarramendi, Lucas] and all of them fails. Khedira was having some injury problems, Illarramendi is not up to mark and Lucas is still new and he still needs time to adapt.
Since we know Benitez may play 4-2-3-1 formation with Madrid and there is higher chance he will let Kroos play in his original position. Modric will be alone in defensive midfielder position. This is where Casemiro will help the team, he will team up with Modric and this will be perfect combo.
A season loan in Porto helps him a lot in gaining his confidence and bring up his game. Below is his summary for his performance in Porto. He played total 33 game for Porto, he scored 1 goal and 1 assist in Champions League and he scored 3 goals for Porto in League. He was named Man of the Match two time in Champions League match, his passing success was nearly 82%. He can be a perfect match with Modric, they both can increase the defense of the team, recover many balls and build up the game.
Comparing him to Illarramendi and Lucas, he has higher chance to be success and increase the team defense. But we still need another defensive midfielder in substitutes if Modric or Casemiro injured. There is low chance the team will be signing Verratti [we will talk about it next post] since we have Lucas and Illarramendi.
Hope Casemiro will be happy to play for the team and help the team in any way. In the next post i will post Casemiro video skills and till then HALA MADRID!!
