Midfielder Manchester United Fred spoke about his adaptation in the UK after living in Brazil and Ukraine.
"I was very happy as a child in the area where I grew up. I had a lot of friends in the neighborhood, we always played football in the streets. My father enrolled me in the football section when I was only four years old.. My family has always supported me so that I can develop as a football player. At the age of 10, I played for Atletico Mineiro - this was the beginning of my professional career.. I played for Atletico and Internacional, and then moved to Ukraine to Shakhtar Donetsk, ”Fred began.
"I adapt well in England, despite the fact that this country is different from Brazil. My first son will be born here.. I really like the UK, and I hope I can stay here for a long time ".
"I always watched a lot of English football. Here is a very strong championship. In my free time, I watched United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal matches when Gilberto Silva played there (from 2002 to 2008 -. I have a lot of idols, such as Gilberto, Thierry Henry, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes - many great players who also played in the championship of England ".
"I often call my family and friends from Brazil on FaceTime. My mother, my father, my grandmother, I constantly talk to them. Brazilian food also helps me a lot when I miss home. We always cook rice, beans, grill steak at my house ".
"The weather in Brazil is the best. It's hot there. I'm from Minas, so I'm used to the heat. When I moved to Ukraine, the climate changed dramatically for me. The temperature dropped to -20 degrees, I do not know how to explain my condition in those days ".
"In Manchester, for me, comfortable weather. Sometimes I wear t-shirts and shorts, while others wear pants and gloves.. It's funny. I have been in worse conditions, so I’m probably used to it. ".
"I studied English in Ukraine, but people do not speak this language there. They communicate in Russian, that's what I understood there. I didn’t have many opportunities to practice English. Here I also study English with a tutor. ".
"I want to learn English as soon as possible, because it will help me to adapt to life here. I already know how to make a lot of sentences, I know a lot of words. I know how to communicate, "- said Fred in an interview with the press service of Manchester United.
