CASEMIRO MAKES EMOTIONAL FAREWELL TO REAL MADRID


 New Manchester United player Casemiro, is in attendance with his family in a press conference. The Real Madrid legend was understandably emotional and took to the podium in front of Real Madrid officials, including manager Carlo Ancelotti, to express his gratitude about his time at the club.

“I’d like to thank you with all my heart,” the Brazilian began.


“When my wife and I arrived here, we didn’t know anyone, it was a new country for us. We wanted to build our life here and our future, and our family.

“I’ve won a lot of titles here but obviously without my mum, brothers, my wife and my beautiful children, it wouldn’t have been possible. Without the club as well, and everyone who is here today.


“I want to make it clear one day that I will come back here to show how special everyone is here to me and to help this club with anything.”

“Those who think I'm leaving for money is because they don't know me.

"I think there are a few (people) and they don't know me. It's not for money. They're wrong. That's not the case.


"At the end of the Champions League final [where Real Madrid beat Liverpool] I had the feeling that my cycle was over.

"I am honest. After the holidays, with a clear head, the feeling was the same. It wasn't that fast. I already spoke with the club as soon as the Champions League finished.


"People don't forget the club I'm going to, the biggest team in the world and that can compete with the greatness of Real Madrid, although now it doesn't."



“If I could, I would play today for United against Liverpool. I'm really excited, it's a club with great history, I will have to work hard to make a name for myself because there, I have won nothing yet.

"At Manchester United, first of all, what I want is to transmit the way I feel about the club, my respect.


"Everything I did here (at Real Madrid), I want to do there too. I want to show my fighting spirit, capacity to work hard, professional attitude. I want to work hard every day to show how serious I am about them. I want to win the league there, I know it is an exciting league.

"I am going through one of the best moments of my career. I feel I'm really fit, mentally I feel great, and I want to continue to enjoy my day to day and hopefully I can do that there. I feel like it's a great moment to take this decision."
