Casemiro, a midfielder for Manchester United, has drawn criticism for how Brazil played against Peru.

In a perfect world, Casemiro would have received a break during the international break. With the World Cup qualifiers beginning in South America and Casemiro receiving a permanent captaincy, this was not at all on Brazil’s agenda.

However, all this has done is draw more attention to the midfielder, and the response to Casemiro’s performance in Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Peru last week was evidence of the high expectations the nation’s fans have for all of its athletes.

The Manchester United player was criticized for a lackluster performance during which Brazil relied on Marquinhos, a center-back for PSG, to score the game-winning goal in stoppage time.

Brazil criticizes Casemiro

While Casemiro put in a lot of effort off the ball, winning five of six tackles, he was criticized for being too wasteful in control of the ball, completing only 83% of his passes.

The outstanding midfielder Casemiro had his poorest performance for the national team, according to Brazilian publication Terra. He committed every mistake and gave the supporters goosebumps.

Brazil received a lot of criticism on social media, and Casemiro is one of the team’s detractors, according to Lance.

“The midfielder did not play well and made a lot of errors when passing the ball. But Fernando Diniz decided to keep him playing for the whole 90 minutes, which received criticism online.

Casemiro’s performance was given a 5.5 out of 10 by Globo Esporte. Only Richarlison received a lower score (3.4/10) in the harsher fan vote (3.7/10).

The source stated: “Under pressure from the marking, he struggled. He also failed to complete short passes, which is unusual for him.

Casemiro is never at rest.When Manchester United plays Brighton this weekend, Casemiro will be right back in action. The Red Devils then play Bayern Munich in Germany a few days later.

These are highly challenging games, therefore Casemiro must perform at his peak for United rather than put on the kind of sluggish performance he did for his nation.
