“There’s another one: inconsistent. The referee is coming in the start of the season with a policy. We are Premier League, it’s coming strong here, we want intensity.“Casemiro is across European games, over 500 games he never had a [straight] red card. Now he has two. Think about that. He plays tough but he plays fair. And also in this, he’s playing fair, same as against Crystal Palace, so it’s very debatable.
“Everyone who knows something about football, you know, and of course, when you freeze it, it looks bad. But everyone who knows something about football, who was acting on top football, they know what is bad, what isn’t bad and what is fair. And I tell you: Casemiro is a really fair player. Tough, but fair.
The comments by the Dutchman haven’t gone down well with talkSPORT’s Adebayo Akinfenwa, who labelled ‘irrelevant’.Asked if Casemiro needs to adapt his game in England, Akinfenwa said on The Boot Room: “Of course. What do you want to do, change the rules and the playing styles just because one player played in another country?
“For me that is such an irrelevant statement [from Ten Hag]. You can argue the Premier League is the best league in the world. He’s come into this so therefore it’s differs. Different officials, different tackles, it’s different.
