Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro has said he is determined to succeed at the club following his return from Porto.

The 23-year-old spent last campaign on loan at the Estadio Dragao and was a key part of the team during his time there. He made 28 appearances in the league, scoring three goals along the way.

Now back in the Spanish capital, the Brazilian is trying to force his way into Rafa Benitez’ plans and told Madrid-based daily Marca he is ready now as his year away allowed him to grow up and mature as a person and footballer.

“I’m more of a man today than I was when I left Madrid. I grew a lot at Porto but my excitement about playing for Real Madrid hasn’t changed,” he commented.

And he added: “I’m as hungry as ever to triumph at this club and I’ll work to make that happen. I’ve come here to work hard and I want to play an important role. We have a lot of quality and competition in the middle of the park and that can only be good for the team.”

Casemiro initally joined Real on loan in January 2013 and made the move permanent six months later.
