Casemiro "very focused" on Real Madrid

Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro vows to continue "working hard" at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro has hinted that he will remain at the Bernabeu in January.

Reports had linked the 21-year-old with a loan move, but the Brazilian has insisted that he is "very focused" at breaking into the first-team set-up with Madrid.

"I am here very humbly and very focused on the job. I am trying to enjoy this opportunity and am always working hard," Casemiro told AS.

"In Spain, the football is faster, the grass is shorter. In Brazil, the game is slower. But I have adapted quickly. I look thinner than when I first arrived? I lost weight when I arrived here because Spanish football is more dynamic.

"Within 15 or 20 days being with Real Madrid Castilla I was already at my ideal weight."

Casemiro joined Madrid from Sao Paulo in the summer.
