Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro has welcomed praise from Mauro Silva.

The former Deportivo La Coruna ace hailed the progress of Casemiro this season.

And the Real ace said: "He's a player who has made history in football and he makes you feel happy, but I want to grow a lot in football and I haven't done anything yet."

Casemiro added: "I don't care where I play. I always want to play and help the team. I feel more comfortable in midfield than centre back, but if the coach needs me I'll be there for what he wants."
