The midfielder Casemirocaptain of the Brazilian team, this Thursday criticized the defensive proposal and the waste of time of Venezuelathat drew Canarinha (1-1) in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. “The match is a team that wants to propose a game and the other, defending and defending. That is the summary. Unfortunately, they got the goal at the end,” said the Manchester United player on the pitch of the Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá .
Casemiro complained that “normally” the rival looks for tricks away from football to hurt them on the field. “We know that when they play against Brazil they usually want to destabilize us, they want to deconcentrate us, that’s the goal of their game. The goalkeeper always takes a long time to put the ball in play… “, he indicated. .
“That can never be an excuse, but it is difficult to have a cool head at that moment. Always slowing down the game, from the beginning. And in the end the hot side will come out, which is not in our favor,” he added. Brazil surrendered a poor draw against Venezuela, neutralizing the initial goal of Gabriel Magalhães (m.50) with a vintage Chilean average from Eduard Bello (m.85). The match ended in a fight between the players of both teams.
The former Real Madrid player left the Cuiabá Arena with his eyes closed and in doubt for Tuesday’s match against Uruguay, in Montevideo. “My ankle is a little swollen, but we’ll see,” he said. At 1-1, Brazil added seven points and gave the lead in the qualifying round to Argentina, with three wins in three rounds played, while Venezuela is in sixth position with four points.
