Casemiro talks about fitness: Core strength is crucial, both technique and body must be grasped

Casemiro recently accepted an interview with Manchester United's official media and talked about his working mentality in the gym and his daily training schedule.

Casemiro believes that one link is particularly important. He said: "I have experienced both traditional football and modern football. In traditional football, more training is only conducted with the ball. Of course, football players always pay attention to taking care of their bodies, but when I first started my career, I was surrounded by more old-school players. Now football has changed a lot, and training is more Concrete, more focused. So, I think when I came to Europe, that's when everything started to change. "

"The change started when I arrived in Madrid and I was spending more time in the gym, and I was trying to put in more time in the gym, especially before training, and that's when I started to see a shift in my career. Focusing more on the training side of the gym, I work on getting stronger. We are from Brazil and our main concern is the technical quality when we have the ball, but we must not forget the physical aspect. In modern football, technical quality will always be crucial, but the physical aspect is just as critical. "

"For me, my favorite thing to train is core strength, 100% core. All areas must be trained, but the core is the foundation of everything. What people see on the outside may be beautiful, but it's something on the inside that you have to become strong. In football, there is a lot of physical contact and collisions. So, this is the most important part of your body and training. "

When asked which core training movement he likes the most, Casemiro said: "I practice them all! "
