I dreamed every day of being with him, of playing alongside him. I know it&#8217;s impossible to stop him\u2014I never managed to do it.

I&#8217;m living that dream now, and I want to enjoy it while helping him continue to win,\u201d he added, before describing Messi as one of the &#8220;gods of football.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/shkurteshqip.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shkurteshqip.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3.webp 700w, https:\/\/shkurteshqip.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/shkurteshqip.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-631x420.webp 631w, https:\/\/shkurteshqip.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-696x463.webp 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Casemiro signed for Inter Miami last week after his contract with Manchester United expired this summer. He made his first start for the club on Saturday in a 1-0 victory over CF Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was very clear that if I ever played for an MLS team, it would be Inter Miami,\u201d the 34-year-old midfielder added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also revealed that he spoke with several players before joining Major League Soccer, including his fellow Brazilian Kak\u00e1, who spent three seasons with Orlando City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casemiro is expected to strengthen Inter Miami&#8217;s defense, an area where the Florida club has struggled in recent years. Those defensive weaknesses have largely been masked by a prolific attack led by Messi. The departure of Sergio Busquets at the end of last season only made those defensive issues more apparent during the current campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inter Miami are the reigning MLS Cup champions and currently sit second in the Eastern Conference with 37 points, just two behind Nashville. They are also set to begin their Leagues Cup campaign next Wednesday, a competition they previously won in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has revealed that he always dreamed of playing alongside Lionel Messi, especially after spending years facing him as a fierce rival with Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team.
