Brazil star Neymar dished out some huge praise for his international team-mate Casemiro after he scored a beautiful goal against Switzerland. Neymar has missed the match due to an ankle injury he picked up during Brazil’s opening match. In their second group game of the 2022 World Cup, just when it looked as though a draw could be on the cards for the South American nation, the Manchester United man hit a sumptuous half-volley to win the match and send his country into the next stage of the competition.
Neymar took to Twitter after the game to hail his country man by saying: “Casemiro has been the best midfielder in the world for a long time.”
Without his creativity Brazil had struggled, but Casemiro stepped up with a moment to cherish for his country. Seeing as they have now qualified for the knockout stages with a game to spare, Neymar can rest up and get himself fit for the round of 16 without losing too much sleep over the Cameroon game.
