Casemiro became a hugely paid player at Man Utd, but few people know that the Brazilian midfielder experienced a poor childhood when his parents divorced when he was only 5 years old.
Joining Man Utd, midfielder Casemiro received a huge salary of up to £375,000/week, equal to goalkeeper David De Gea and only inferior to star C.Ronaldo (£480,000/week).
According to The Sun , football talent has changed the life of the Brazilian midfielder, because Casemiro had to go through a very difficult life as a child due to his parents’ divorce when he was only 5 years old.
More than 25 years ago, after his father left, Casemiro lived with his mother and two brothers in a poor neighborhood next to Sao Paolo stadium in Brazil. Casemiro’s mother had to work enough to make a living to support her three children. As the eldest brother, Casemiro also has to work to earn money to support the family.
“If I had seen him on the street today, I wouldn’t have recognized him. He had a fight with my mother when I was 5 years old and left his family without saying goodbye. Later he grew up. , I still want to meet him because he is my father after all,” Casemiro shared about the father he has not seen again despite becoming a famous player for Real Madrid and now Man Utd.
The turning point of Casemiro’s life came when he was admitted to Sao Paolo football academy at the age of 11, when he had his own bedroom, food, air conditioning and television for the first time.
“When I was a kid, I always wanted to drink these soft drinks, but we never had the money. It didn’t cost much, about 20 cents,” said Casemiro tearfully about the hardships of childhood.
The poor memories of his childhood only made Casemiro stronger on the pitch. “He came from a poor background and that helped his character. He’s a leader because he knows his roots and that’s always on his mind.
Casemiro was a leader at Real Madrid, a big voice, everyone listened to him. Among Brazilian players, he is like a father figure to young players Vinicius Jr, Rodrigo and Militao. He doesn’t have to be a captain to be a leader. I think the same thing will happen at Man Utd,” Spanish football expert Guillermo Raimundo praised Casemiro.
