Personal Information

Carlos Henrique Casimiro is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for the Spanish club Real Madrid and the Brazil national team.

He is widely regarded to be one of the best defensive midfielders in world football.

Casemiro is featured in a promotional trailer for FIFA 19. On 7 November 2020, he tested positive for COVID-19.

Formed at Sao Paulo, where he scored 11 goals in 111 official games, Casemiro moved to Real Madrid in 2013, and also spent a season on loan at Porto.

He was part of the Real Madrid squad that won four Champions League titles in five seasons, from 2014 to 2018.

In total, he has won fifteen major trophies at Real Madrid, including five UEFA Champions Leagues, three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, and three FIFA Club World Cups.

A full international since 2011, Casemiro was in Brazil’s squad at the 2018 FIFA World Cup as well as four Copa America tournaments, winning the 2019 edition.

Casemiro scored one goal in seven appearances for the Brazil under-17 team. He played for the Brazil under-20 team at the 2011 South American Championship and the 2011 World Cup, scoring three goals in 15 appearances in total at this level.

Casemiro made his debut for the Brazil senior side on 14 September 2011, in a 0-0 draw against Argentina, aged just 19.

He was named by manager Dunga in the Brazilian squad for the 2015 Copa America but did not play any matches in the quarter-final exit in Chile.

On 5 May 2016, he was named on the 23-man list for the Copa América Centenario to be held in the United States.

In May 2018, Casemiro was selected by manager Tite for the upcoming edition of the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

He made his debut in the competition on 17 June, playing 60 minutes in a 1-1 group stage draw with Switzerland.

In May 2019, he was included in Brazil’s 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América on home soil.

In the final group game at the Arena Corinthians against Peru, he scored his first international goal to open a 5-0 victory but was also sent off for two yellow cards and suspended from the next match.

He started in Brazil’s 3-1 victory over Peru in the 2019 Copa America Final on 7 July at the Maracana Stadium.

He was named to the 2021 Copa America squad on 9 June 2021.

In Brazil’s third group match on 23 June, he scored the match-winning goal following a Neymar corner in injury time, to help his team defeat Colombia 2-1.

On 10 July, he started in his nation’s 1-0 defeat to rivals Argentina in the final.

Casemiro mainly plays as a defensive midfielder, although he has also been deployed in a box-to-box role in the center of the pitch, or even as a center-back on occasion.

While he is not particularly talented or skillful from a technical standpoint, Casemiro is an intelligent, physically strong, mobile, aggressive, and hard-tackling midfielder, with an extremely high work rate.

While he is mainly known for his ability to provide balance to his teams by supporting his more offensive-minded teammates defensively and distributing the ball to them accurately after winning back possession, he is also a well-rounded midfielder, who possesses a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, and reliable distribution, as well as an ability to get forward with his runs off the ball, or start attacks with his passing: these characteristics also enable him to contribute offensively, or even score goals, in addition to breaking up plays.

Moreover, his quick reactions, as well as his excellent positional sense, ability to read the game, and good anticipation, enable him to excel in a holding midfield role in front of the defense, by cutting out counter-attacks and shielding the back-line.

Often described as a destroyer in the media, he has drawn praise from pundits for his energetic and combative style of play, as well as his tactical awareness and abilities as a ball winner, which enables him to cover ground, trackback, and press opponents.

His tenacity on the pitch, exemplified by his fierce challenges and stamina, has led Marca to nickname him The Tank.

In addition to his footballing abilities, he also stands out for his competitive spirit, mentality, consistency, and determination on the pitch.

Despite maintaining a good disciplinary record, he has, however, also come into criticism in the media at times over his excessively aggressive challenges on the pitch.

Casemiro’s playing style has drawn comparisons with that of former Real Madrid defensive midfielder Claude Makelele, as well as compatriot Toninho Cerezo.
