  1. brazil are the favorites in every world cup and unless the refs helps them they are no good against top teams. beating serbia is not an accomplishment! brazil cant beat spain, and will struggle against france, england, germany, and switzerland… brazil have never beaten switzerland and its cocky for casemiro to say that when brazil only ranks as high as they do because they play in a terrible region .. didnt germany trash them by 7 ande could have score 12 a few years ago or have they forgotten that they claimed to be the best that year too

  2. He's talking from a perspective of, "As a defensive playerI'd hate to play against our forwards", and he's right. 2 of these guys are a handful, now you got like 4-5.

  3. Newmar does keep possession a lot better than any of those other players would though. And that's an important part of brazils relentless attack. But they should still be ok

  4. who translated what casemiro said? casemiro said that even without neymar, brazil's attack is still very strong answering a reporter's question.

  5. As a Brazilian I can tell you that Casemiro did not say that, he merely said that we have talented players, and we are not overly dependent on Neymar even though he is one of our greatest players. This is merely the media twisting words for a clickbait title.

  6. Famous sensationalist media. Before you come to criticize Brazil, know that he didn't say anything about this, today they are using Google Translate to translate these things.

  7. He didn't say that, and now the idiot gringos who believe everything the media says are angry, no Brazilian player would say that kind of thing, we are not Argentina.

  8. Casemiro's comments are taken out of context. He simply meant to say that Brazil has many options in the position that Neymar plays. Usually other countries do not have as many options. But this time around, the Brazilian coach can count on a vast array of young talents. It is generational…it comes and goes.
