You’ve lost my respect – Casemiro hits out at pundits over criticism

You’ve lost my respect – Casemiro hits out at pundits over criticism

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro has hit out at the “disrespectful” criticism he has been getting at the club this season.

 

The Brazilian said that his critics have crossed a line lately and does not respect them.

 

Casemiro told Sky Sports that he was touted as one of the best signings last season.

 

The former Real Madrid midfielder has not been at the same level he was last season and has seen the worst from pundits.

 

“You look towards the end of last season, the team was playing well with plenty of positive comments.

 

“So what happened? I was considered one of the best signings of the Premier League last season, and now I’m not worth anything anymore?

 

“The criticism is disrespectful. So, when it’s lacking respect, then it’s worrying, and I don’t have to respect that either.

 

“But there is always going to be criticism in football, especially playing for such a long time, people want to criticise.

 

“But from the moment when it lacks respect, that’s when you lose my respect.”

 

SPORTEPL: They didn’t follow instructions – Ten Hag slams five Man Utd players

 

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag openly expressed his frustration with the team’s performance against Crystal Palace on Monday, singling out five players.

 

The Red Devils, aiming to reclaim their spot in European competition, stumbled at Selhurst Park as they lost 4-0 against Palace.

 

Their downfall commenced with a crucial defensive error in the 12th minute, allowing Crystal Palace to score.

 

Michael Olise seized the opportunity, effortlessly maneuvering past Christian Eriksen and dodging a weak challenge from Casemiro before scoring past goalkeeper Andre Onana.

 

In his post-match analysis, Ten Hag didn’t hold back, criticizing the five players for their inability to follow defensive ‘instructions’ and adapt to the game’s dynamics.

 

The throw-in where you concede the first goal, that shouldn’t happen and that is as a team because we don’t follow their rules. We don’t adapt to the different situations to organise, to keep control in those situations. Five players over the ball and they have a throw-in, it is not possible,” Ten Hag said told Sky Sports.

 

There are five players there and that is a goal that shouldn’t happen because we really give clear instructions of how we should defend this. They didn’t bring it on the pitch and we got hammered.”
