Worthy qualification
Brazilian midfielder Casemiro led his country to reach… A special comeback against Japan in the 32nd round of the 2026 World CupAfter equalizing with a perfect header.
The Brazilian midfielder spoke about the last minutes of the match. He said in the highlighted statements of the Spanish “Marca” newspaper.“It was a mental meeting. They are a team that played with a very low defensive block and they were able to score against us and then continue to play with the block. We had to try to open up spaces in the back line of five defenders.
Casemiro talked about his goal, referring to the role of his teammates in scoring a goal. “Well I think all the credit goes to the team as well, not just me but Gabi who put the perfect ball in for me to head on. So I think when we score, we all score and when we suffer, we all suffer.”
“When I say calm, I mean patience with the ball. This is what relaxation really is. patience to swing the ball from one side to the other, to try to destabilize it, to try to penetrate the line of five defenders and destabilize them. But it sure is a whirlwind of emotions out there. But I think we had a chance to hit it there. moments”.
He continued. “I think Vinicius had a chance and I had another chance myself with a header. We were able to penetrate and surround Japan at all times in their penalty area. I think we managed to press. But when I speak of patience and composure, I speak of this patience.”
Casemiro reassured fans about his physical condition and the myriad of emotions he felt during the match, saying: “I’m not in bad shape, I just have a little pain in the ligament. I think I had a mild muscle cramp. But it wasn’t that serious. Thanks for asking.”
The veteran midfielder stressed the historic value of the victory, as it was the first time since 2002 that Brazil had beaten a deficit in a World Cup match, speaking of the difference this generation has made.
“I think everyone makes things difficult and everyone becomes very difficult. But I like to appreciate the group, especially the players who have come on as substitutes. Today Endrik, Martinelli and Ryan came on as substitutes for Rafinha and Felipe came on well and then Fabinho too. I think this is the most important thing. winning titles is important.”
