Fernandinho and his return to Athletico
Fernandinho came to the team where he first started to bring experience to a squad that has several young players, perhaps the most promising youngster is Vitor Roque himself, where the former City sees good attitudes reflected: “He is a humble and feisty person. We are talking about a boy who always listens to the guidance of the coaching staff and the most veteran footballers. For this reason, we are all happy to be able to participate in a very significant way in his formation”, something that the former international with Brazil highlighted as very important for such a young player.
The forward, who is expected to have a move in the next transfer period, has scored seven goals and two assists in just 15 games. A very important figure and one of the main reasons why Paranaense did not give it up for the player to play in the Under 20 World Cup in Argentina.
