People talk a lot regarding Anthony abusing his technique, causing Casemiro to be fired. However, the experienced Brazilian midfielder should have been more alert.
The conflict stemmed from the situation where Antony dribbled the ball on the right wing and was knocked off the field by two Crystal Palace players in the 67th minute in MU’s 2-1 win over Crystal Place on the evening of February 4. Players from both teams ran into each other. In the chaos, Casemiro raised his hands and strangled Will Hughes. The action of the former Real Madrid star might not be overlooked by the VAR team.
After being consulted and personally reviewing the slow-down video, the referee Andre Marriner returned to the field and showed a direct red card for the host’s midfielder 18. According to The AthleticCasemiro will be suspended for 3 matches for BL . behavior
The rare time in his career to receive a direct red card, the Brazilian midfielder really pushed MU into a difficult position in the context of Christian Eriksen also taking a long-term break.
Casemiro’s unbridled actions.
Casemiro needs more restraint?
Coach Erik ten Hag has reason to be dissatisfied with the referee’s handling. He asserted: “Casemiro is just protecting his teammates. If he gets a red card, the other players should be punished in the same way.”
However, the former Ajax coach must also admit that Casemiro acted inappropriately. “Casemiro has crossed the line”, ESPN quoted coach Ten Hag, “We received some warnings regarding such a reaction. You have to do it, protect each other but at the same time we want to keep the standards and values of the team. You limit cannot be exceeded”.
Casemiro’s red card almost made MU drop 2 points. In the game without people, “Red Devils” were immediately taken back by the opponent to a table. Coach Ten Hag was forced to change tactics, focusing all players on the defensive front.
Alejandro Garnacho came on in the second half and made his mark with a dribble that opened the scoring to double Marcus Rashford’s lead. However, this young player was forced to leave the field in the situation that MU was suffocated by Palace. Garnacho showed displeasure outside the touchline. Because of Casemiro, the 18-year-old striker was soon replaced.
In the technical area, coach Ten Hag also bowed his head, expressing his insecurity. He is not only worried regarding MU losing the victory, but may also be thinking further regarding the prospect of the team without the services of Casemiro and Eriksen in the next 3 matches.
As an experienced player, Casemiro has never received a direct red card during his career playing in Europe’s top 5 leagues, according to choose. However, with only a moment of not being able to control the situation, Casemiro made MU difficult.
Losing Casemiro will greatly affect MU’s play. Rookie Marcel Sabitzer has only just arrived at Old Trafford but may have to start the next match when the “Red Devils” have lost both of their best central midfielders.
Casemiro pushed MU into a difficult position
In the 2-3 defeat once morest Arsenal, MU fans regretted that Casemiro was not present due to suspension. The midfield MU was completely inferior to the “Gunners” when they lacked an interceptor enough to hold back the pair of Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard.
Not only that, but Casemiro also offers an effective solution to the forbidden zone penetration phase. In MU’s 3-0 win over Reading in the FA Cup on January 29, Casemiro’s first goal was made in exactly this way. The former Real midfielder moved smartly, rushed into the middle and scored the opening goal.

As a defensive midfielder, it is not uncommon for Casemiro to suddenly appear in the opponent’s penalty area. He did so many times in the Real shirt. Since joining MU, Casemiro has helped balance the midfield but also left a mark with 5 assists and 4 goals.

For a long time, there was a void that needed to be filled at MU: a player who might hold a strong position in front of the defence, build possession of the ball and then disrupt the opposition’s play when he lost. ball. A position that has laid the groundwork for tactical developments in top-flight football over the past two decades is seen as an alien concept at Old Trafford. But with Casemiro, things are different.
Indeed, Casemiro defends, intercepts, participates in attack and has no shortage of high-class passing situations. The assist phase for Rashford to hit Charlton in the FA Cup or the pass for Bruno Fernandes to equalize once morest Man City showed the midfielder’s ability to launch attacks quite well.

“The £70m, four-year contract with a substantial salary was once considered too high a price for a player who turns 31 this month, but now it looks like a bargain when it comes to the effect that Casemiro brings to the MU midfield”, The Athletic write.
“The main stage belongs to Casemiro”, comment by ESPN shows the importance of Casemiro. Now, MU continues to face a difficult situation when losing the most important player in the midfield. He will be absent from MU’s two matches once morest Leeds and one once morest Leicester City. In the context of the “Red Devils” needing to protect their top 4 position, they lost both the midfield pair.
The only consolation for MU in this may lie in the fact that the strongest Casemiro will be ready to play both matches once morest Barca in the Europa League.
