Casemiro revealed that he used to be a striker when he was younger, but switched to defensive midfielder.
He said: "I arrived at Sao Paulo when I was 11 or 12 years old and there were 300 people. It was a trial and they were going to select 50 players."
"Then the coach asked who was a forward and 50 people raised their hand. So I kept my hand down, there was a lot of competition."
"He then asked who was a No.10 and there were another 50 with their hands up. Then he asked who was a defensive midfielder and eight put their hands up and I said, "me, I am a defensive midfielder."
"They insisted that I was built to be a forward, but I insisted that no, that I was a defensive midfielder and that's how it all started."
