This past Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo captured all the attention of the international press by scoring his 700th club goal, which gave Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Everton. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who has been overshadowed since Erik Ten Hag took over as manager of the 'Red Devils', only needed 14 minutes on the field to turn the score around and score his first goal of the season in the Premier League.
However, in order for the 'Bicho' to boast this record in his trophy case, there was a key piece on the grass at Goodison Park in Liverpool: Casemiro, the Brazilian played his first start in the Premier League and it was sensational: he was named MVP and served Cristiano Ronaldo for his '700th goal'.
Upon arriving in Manchester, it was not strange for Casemiro's desire to play to be evident, but Erik ten Hag preferred to wait seven weeks for him to adapt to his system. For that reason, he gave him his first starting position at Goodison Park.
This is how Everton's feud became the perfect setting to see Casemiro enveloped in the old aroma of English football. Something the Brazilian could not resist.
To the point that the result could not have been better and Casemiro was named the best player of the match (MVP). Moreover, he left a great impression of technical and tactical resources reminiscent of his best times at Real Madrid.
Pass from memory
It was an instant, enough time to see Cristiano Ronaldo make a run, and Casemiro instinctively executed it. The Brazilian midfielder took the ball from Iwobi, settled and served the United's 'number 7' the 700th goal of his career. In addition to the 2-1 victory over Everton.
English press surrendered to him
So, it is not surprising that the English press is surrendered to Casemiro: "Casemiro showed what he has brought to Manchester United in two seconds against Everton," highlighted Manchester Evening News. However, the Brazilian still has some things to polish: he lost the ball 17 times, being the player from the 'Red Devils' who risked possession the most at Goodison Park.
