The Portuguese appreciates that his self-sacrifice is the main indicator of professionalism, despite criticism from patients and experts.
" Ale on the right in the club itself, not least in the captain’s garb. I haven’t changed or become who I am, only because I have a captain’s armband. If Erik ten Gag chooses me as captain, then we understand what kind of captain I will be.
I know that I’m giving my butt, because I’m doing everything necessary on the training field. I train as hard as I can. I can run as much as I can on the field, and if I run more, I won’t run more—I’m in awe of it. Therefore, I think that, as before, but also because everyone can work for the club. Kind of a standard,” Fernandes told the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast.
It was previously reported that Fernandes would be lost to Manchester United this winter.
