Casemiro cut his vacation a week short after Real Madrid lost 7-3 to Atleti, and was playing for Real a few days later. He takes naps in hyperbaric chambers, spends free time analyzing rivals via Wyscout, and follows a strict diet (no feijoada anymore). elpais.com/deportes/2019/…
Casemiro also uses a special type of boots designed specifically for muscle recovery and wears them while watching football. He gets to training over an hour early and has a personal gym of 100 square meters at home.

If Casemiro is the best DM in the world today (and he has a great argument), it’s because of his relentless workrate and willingness to improve.
Rodrygo: “He has changed the image that Brazilian players are lazy. He’s always saying ‘let’s go to the gym’ or ‘recover in the ice.”

Casemiro mentions how he studied Mbappé’s Wyscout clips, and when he played him in the second leg, he knew exactly what move he was going to do, and he robbed him of possession.
On Saturday, July 27, Casemiro was set to fly to Orlando to spend a vacation with his family, but seeing the 7-3 defeat to Atlético, he bought a ticket to Madrid, and by Monday, he was training.
10 days later, he played for Real against Salzburg.
