The Brazilian midfielder acknowledges Ronaldo’s prowess, calling him the “best in the world” but insists that Madrid has to move on and cannot continue to think about Ronaldo.
Sure, we cannot cover things, Cristiano showed here that he has been the best in the world,” Casemiro said.
“But it is already past, we cannot keep thinking about him.
“We have to talk about the players we have. We want to make a stronger, more solid team, but Cristiano is already in the past.”
“It’s still the beginning of everything,” he added. “Julen is doing a great job, trying to maintain the illusion, which is not easy.
“We have won four Champions Leagues in the last five years. We have won almost everything, he is doing a great job maintaining the players’ illusion of winning.
“It’s still too early to talk about Julen. We cannot cover Julen’s work by tonight’s result.”
He also adds that he cannot give any excuses as it is not his “profile” or “that of Madrid.”
“Making excuses is not my profile or that of Madrid. There are no excuses.
“Atletico scored four goals against us and I think we have also done a lot of good things. We have to congratulate Atletico and keep working.”
“I do not speak of specific mistakes because when we win, we all win and when we lose we all lose, they are team mistakes,”. The 26-year-old concluded.
