Toby Collyer Hails Casemiro as One of the Greatest Midfielders After Pre-Season Clash
In a recent interview with MUTV, Manchester United’s emerging talent, Toby Collyer, praised his teammate Casemiro as one of the greatest midfielders ever.
Reflecting on their pre-season match against Arsenal, Collyer expressed immense admiration for the Brazilian star, highlighting how valuable Casemiro’s presence has been for his development.
Collyer noted that playing alongside Casemiro has been an extraordinary learning experience.
He mentioned, “It’s incredible to be in the same team as someone who is considered one of the best ever in the midfield role.
For someone like me, it’s a tremendous opportunity to gain insights from him. Watching him in training, having him beside me, and receiving his guidance and support—it’s all been immensely beneficial.
His leadership qualities are evident, and he plays a significant role in helping and motivating the team.”
During the pre-season clash, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Manchester United, thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.
Rasmus Hojlund initially put Manchester United ahead, but he was forced to leave the game due to an injury.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
