Spanish newspaper calls Andrey Santos ‘Chelsea’s Casemiro’ after game against Argentina

Andrey Santos’ performance in Brazil’s 3-1 victory over Argentina last Monday earned him the star of the match award. His performance in the South American under-20, however, also gained prominence in European newspapers and the portal As, from Spain, called the midfielder “Casemiro do Chelsea”, in comparison to the number five of the Brazilian national team.

— Due to his demarcation on the field and the way he dominates an under-20 tournament as if he were playing against children, his case is reminiscent of Casemiro’s. With the brilliant Brazilian generation of 92, the now Manchester United player gave real recitals in the Sub-20 of the Sudamericana and later in the World Cup – said As.

Andrey Santos was recently bought by Chelsea, from England, after standing out last season for Vasco. The 18-year-old, who spared no effort to obtain the release of the English club even though the South American Championship was not a FIFA date, played 38 games for the team from Rio de Janeiro, with eight goals scored, and was instrumental in the campaign for access to Série A .

Casemiro became a mainstay in Manchester United’s midfield after the World Cup in Qatar and his performances demonstrate that he is 100% adapted to English football. The Spanish press also ensured that Chelsea hit the nail on the head in hiring the young promise, who has a lot of potential.

— A decade has passed since then, and relief seems assured. When all the big clubs in Europe struggle to sign the many young strikers that emanate from Brazil, Chelsea hit the key by signing the player on which everything is based.

With Andrey’s help, Brazil beat Argentina and qualified for the final hexagonal. But first, the team will face Colombia this Wednesday, at 9:30 pm and, following that, Paraguay on Friday, also at 9:30 pm.
