Midfielder Shakhtar Fred once again commented on his possible care, and also noted that he is grateful to the Donetsk club.

Fred moved to Ukraine in 2013, when he was 20 years old.

"Moving to Europe helped me grow strong, mature. There were mistakes, but I study them. Now I have the best period in my career, I need to enjoy it. When I first came to Shakhtar, it took me some time to adapt and this eventually helped, "Fred said in an interview with the Brazilian edition Terra.

"After the victory over Man City we met with Josep Guardiola and he congratulated me on going into the playoffs. I saw that later he praised many Shakhtar. I was very pleased to hear praise from the best coach in the world, because it means that I'm doing a good job. But do not be conceited - you should continue to work to become better ".

Recently, interest in Fred is attributed to both Manchester clubs. Therefore, journalists asked, under whose leadership would he like to play more.

"Mourinho or Guardiola? Insidious question, hard to answer. These coaches are now among the best in the world. I will not say who is the best of the troika Guardiola-Mourinho-Tite. If I receive a proposal, I will need to analyze where I will play more often. I can not now say who is better ".

The journalist noted that in recent years, the Miner was a springboard for the Brazilians, selling Willian, Fernandinho and Alex Teixeiro. After that, he asked Fred whether his time had come to go for a raise.

"We are working on it. I think about playing in big championships - like English, much larger than Ukrainian. But you need to work hard to make this possible ".

Despite Fred's problems with doping, Shakhtar extended the contract with him and for this the Brazilian is grateful to the club.

"The miner repeatedly helped me.

I am very attached to this club, I treat him with great respect. I want to thank him and repay my game. I intend to stay in Shakhtar until a really worthwhile offer comes ".

Fred together with Shakhtar continues to fight for the Cup of Ukraine, leads the ULP, and also went to the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, where he will play against Roma.
