On Tuesday Madrid called Reinier (18 years old) to go to Valdebebas for the second COVID-19 test. If it turned out negative, as it did, it would be released the next day with the first team, a dream pending since their arrival in Spain in February. Hours after that medical test, he welcomed him to one of the most imposing locker rooms in the world, Casemiro (28), captain without armband. After living the experience with the elderly, the former Flamengo published a photo of an unforgettable day for him … with Case.

The gesture speaks of Integrative role of the midfielder, who along with Marcelo (32), second manager of the tape with the ‘C’, have long developed an essential role for young people They enter the first squad at an age with many nerves and doubts, and especially with their compatriots. The pivot went through that situation: he dressed in white at the age of 20. The side, with 18, so he knows what he is talking about: his success at the Bernabéu cannot be understood without the sponsorship of Roberto Carlos, despite the fact that they shared position and fought for the same position. The idol, who even stopped the boy’s loan, became a friend and has always been a support for Marcelo.

The landings of Vinicius (today 19), Rodrygo (18) and Militao (22) have not been easy, with the added difficulty in the first two cases that their planes traveled directly from Brazil to Spain, without an intermediate stage that Eder did take advantage of in Porto. Vini was received by Lopetegui with a double portion from Castilla And when Solari gave him the confidence and left, he suffered a serious injury that cost him, among other things, the 2019 Copa América. “It was the best of 2018-19 with Benzema”, Casemiro has remembered ‘papa’ on several occasions, especially when the carioca has crossed a valley. “You have to start thinking big, about the Ballon d’Or”, he dared to say. For his part, El Rayo had just descended to Castilla due to the coronavirus break, after having tasted the elite’s honeys, even triumphing in the Champions League.

Both have been protected and guided by Casemiro, both in public and in private. It is very common to see the ’14’ pending Vinicius during games. Also, like Marcelo, from Militao, with which they share a line or area of action. Eder has only had 992 minutes in his first course, so all attention is little. And the advice is most frequent, like the one that Marcelo himself recently confessed: “I say (to Vinicius and Rodrygo) ‘easy, your time will come, now give it to Benzema, who scores goals, and that’s it.” The Brazilian clan is a subfamily in Madrid, and that will go wonderfully for the last to join, Reinier.
