My Take
Casemiro is my litmus test for whether someone actually watches football or just watches highlights. For years he did the unglamorous arithmetic that let superstars play poetry — intercepting, fouling smartly, covering ground nobody thanks you for. From São José dos Campos through São Paulo's academy to the summit of the European game, his career proves that destruction is also a craft. Now a free agent, he is easy to dismiss, but I would argue his reading of danger ages far better than legs do. Midfields are orchestras, and Casemiro spent a decade as the indispensable bass note everyone misses.
