Casemiro was heavily touted when he was at São Paulo. He had a falling with the club towards the end of this time there which meant that his hype died down and he began to be regarded as arrogant and cocky.
At Madrid, he did not play much in 13/14 because we had the likes of Alonso, Illaramendi and Khedira ahead of him. Even then he was absolutely critical to us qualifying to the semis against Dortmund. He was sent on loan to Porto to let him gain experience because he lower down the pecking order. His performances at Porto earned him his spot back (after a buy out by Porto and buy back from Madrid). Well, 15/16 season and Zidane having the guts to bench Isco and James led to the history we witnessed.
