Brazil’s Casemiro Issue: Performance Gaps and Possible Fixes

After scoring a crucial goal against Japan, Casemiro has repeatedly lost possession in defensive areas, giving opponents space. These lapses weaken Brazil’s midfield pressing and ball‑recovery strategy.

The coaching staff plans additional drills to improve his positional awareness and passing distribution. Alternatively, giving more responsibility to midfielders like Fabinho or Lucas Paquetá is being considered.
