Man Utd midfielder Casemiro: Winning football always team effort

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro says winning football is a team effort.

Casemiro regrets the focus on goalsorers.

"I believe that, in the end, it's the player who scores the goal is the one who often gets all the credit," he stated. "But it really the work of the entire team. The one who takes the free-kick, or the one who goes in the wall.

"And so I think it's unfortunate that, much of the time, the person who gets all the credit is the one who scores the goal or who sets up the chance. I think that it really is all about teamwork, and when one player happens to score, it's everyone's goal. And when a save is made, it's not just down to the keeper, but to the entire side."
