Amorim was quick to protect his midfield general. Speaking to BBC Sport<\/em>, he revealed Casemiro was taking the incident harder than anyone.<\/p>\n “He’s [feeling] worse than me,” he said. “We won so I will forget a little bit and he will suffer because he’s a top professional. He understands what he did. He is experienced enough that that play should not be played like that. He cares too much.”<\/p>\n When pressed on whether Casemiro\u2019s rashness was down to pressure, Amorim offered a different take.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say. With Casemiro, that\u2019s the pressure,” he said. “The guy has five Champions Leagues. I feel more pressure on some young guys sometimes. But maybe it\u2019s because Casemiro cares – we scored one and then he has that tackle. Then they have maybe one time that they passed the half of the pitch and we want to win the ball right away. So I think sometimes it\u2019s a little bit, not the pressure, they want it too much in that moment. That is not a bad thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
