In the unbeaten journey of the UEFA Cup this season, not only captain B Fee and Maguire, but also a 30+ veteran player has recently played the role of a stabilizing force.

He defeated the "fat tiger" Casemiro, who lost weight, conquered coach Amorin with his experienced performance, returned to the starting lineup from the winter window, and is very likely to stay in the team next season.

In the last two Europa League knockout matches, 33-year-old Casemiro played for 210 minutes, scored 1 goal, assisted 2 times, and created 1 penalty kick. The offensive data completely outperformed a group of young people, demonstrating an excellent ball dealer, helping the Red Devils reverse Lyon 5-4, and then defeated Bilbao 3-0, and entered the final with one foot.

There is no doubt that Casemiro was in a state that was not ideal at the beginning of the season. The Double Red League gradually lost its main position after two fatal mistakes. Tenhager was dismissed from the get out of class and Fanny served as interim coach, and Fat Tiger returned to the starter. But when Amorin took office, Fat Tiger was not valued, and only four starts before the winter transfer window was closed was proof of this. And the high-paying Fat Tiger has always been a failed signing in the eyes of his boss Ratcliffe.

Casemiro, who failed to transfer in the winter window, did not show any bad performance. Manchester United insiders revealed that Casemiro insisted on practicing strength before and after training every day, and his professional spirit was admirable.

The turning point occurred in the match against Real Sociedad in March. Due to Ugat's injury, Amorin had to use Casemiro to start. Fat Tiger seized the opportunity and became an indispensable backbone of the team again.

After defeating Bilbao 3-0, Amorin said Casemiro had successfully changed his view and said the Brazilian's recovery in form should be a role model for other players in the club.

Amorin: "You can tell from the way he runs instead of how he plays. We have data to prove that he has a very hard training and is a good role model. But he didn't play much before, and sometimes Collier was ahead of him, but now it's difficult to exclude Casemiro from the starter."

Amorin asked Manchester United players to learn from Casemiro: "It's worth learning from all players: No matter what the past is, or how they performed last month, everything may change in an instant. Later Come and we realize that he can't always participate in high-pressing, we have to let him understand this."

" Sometimes it's better to arrange three defenders to be the fourth defender, while allowing the wingback to participate in high-pressing. We are understanding these small details and trying to adapt to all the characteristics of the team. But it's all thanks to Casemiro. "

Against Bilbao, Casemiro had 4 steals, 4 clearances, 84% pass success rate, 109 touches, and his wonderful header helped Manchester United take the lead.

Teammate Maguire also praised Casemiro: "I absolutely believe he is the best player in this game. He is everywhere and scored a key goal. I think his heading is much more difficult than it seems. Ugath's heading brings a spin to the ball. This is a wonderful and well-controlled heading."

Manchester United staff commented: \"Casemiro is one of the most humble stars in recent years, always maintaining the club's image. \"

Even after Sir Ratcliff despised his high salary and publicly questioned his abilities, he did not respond in tit-for-tat language, but spoke with his feet and responded with his performance on the court. At this point, Fat Tiger is a hundred times better than giant babies such as Sancho and Rashford.

At the beginning of the season, many fans would say this was Casemiro's last season at Manchester United. But it is often so clever, his outstanding performance has won him a place in Amorin's roster next season. Even if Manchester United introduces a new midfielder, Casemiro's experience is also a valuable asset.
