Fernandinho is well-known for his stamina and
ability to shoot from long distances. He is an expert
at reading the game, and is known for his technique,
movement and work rate.
He has been described in the media as
“a defensive midfielder with a box-to-box style
of play, contributing in large part to the defense
and the attack. With a powerful shot and great
passing range, Fernandinho has played an important
part in breaking-up opposition attacks and creating
goal scoring opportunities”.
Manchester City Manager, Pep Guardiola, has
praised Fernandinho for his intelligence, versatility,
ability in the air, and his important role in the Club’s
successes. He has also acknowledged his wide range
of skills by saying “Fernandinho can do everything.”

Fernandinho is highly respected within the Club
and definitely a central player in the success of
this era, so I thought it fitting he was central in
the painting. The moment I have chosen for him
is his rocket goal against Stoke in 2017.
