Despite being a regular starter for Chelsea in what Casemiro described as “the moast competitive league in the world,” the experienced midfielder emphasized the need for patience. “You can already see that he’s a great player, you could already see that at Palmeiras. But let’s take it easy with him so as not to rush the football process.”
