Biography:

Fernando is a graduate of the academy of the Gremio club from Porto Alegre. On June 28, 2009, in a match against Sport Recife, he made his debut for the first team in the Brazilian Serie A, in the second half of Hélder Santos. On March 14, 2010, in the Gaucho League match against Inter Santa Maria, Fernando scored his first goal for Gremio. In the same year, he helped the team win the Gaucho League championship. On May 2, 2013, in the Copa Libertadores match against the Colombian Santa Fe, Fernando scored the ball.

On June 13, 2013, Fernando signed a five-year contract with Shakhtar Donetsk. The transfer amount was 11 million euros. On July 14, in a match against Hoverla, he made his debut in the Ukrainian championship, replacing Fred in the second half. On September 21, in a duel against Vorskla, Fernando scored his first goal for the Donetsk club. After Ukraine was on the verge of a civil war, he noticeably lost motivation and began to take to the field less often. As part of Shakhtar, Fernando won the championship and the Super Cup of Ukraine.

In the summer of 2015, he moved to the Italian side Sampdoria. The transfer amount was 8 million euros. On August 23, in a match against Carpi, Fernando made his debut in the Italian Serie A. In the same match, he scored his first goal for Sampdoria. He immediately won a place at the base and spent almost all matches without substitutions. After the club narrowly avoided relegation to Serie B (15th out of 20 teams), Fernando decided to leave the team.

In the summer of 2016, information appeared about the interest in the football player from Spartak Moscow. The negotiations were long and difficult. On July 17, he signed a contract with the club. The transfer amount was 12 million euros.

International career

In 2009, Fernando, as part of the Brazilian youth team, won the South American Youth Championship. In 2011, he won the South American Youth Championship in Peru as part of the Brazilian youth team. At the tournament, Fernando played in matches against the teams of Paraguay, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and twice Colombia and Ecuador.

In the summer of the same year, Fernando won the youth world championship in Colombia. At the tournament, he played in matches against the teams of Egypt, Austria, Panama, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Mexico and Portugal.

On October 11, 2012, in a friendly match against the national team of Iraq, Fernando made his debut for the Brazilian national team, replacing Paulinho at the end of the second half. In 2013, he won the home Confederations Cup as part of the national team. At the tournament, Fernando played in the match against Italy.

On August 14, 2013, he entered the field in a friendly match against the Swiss national team in Basel, after which he did not play for the Brazilian national team.

Italian sources report that Sampdoria midfielder Fernando has signed a contract with Spartak Moscow. “SE” talks about a red-and-white recruit.

SPARTAK BUYS THE WORLD CHAMPION

The site of the well-known Italian insider journalist Gianluca di Marzio announced the signing of a contract with the red-whites.

Fernando is right-handed from birth, but is fluent in both feet, sometimes scoring with his left. Of its advantages, analysts also highlight the vision of the field.

PAN OR ON THE STORE HAPPENED

Fernando got a chance to make himself known in adult football, already being the winner of the 2011 World Cup (U-20) as part of the Brazilian national team. Before the match "Gremiu" - "Internacional" it became known that Gilberto Silva, a 100% base player, would not be able to enter the field, and the coaching staff decided to entrust the place to Fernando. The newcomer took advantage of the chance: “Gremiu” won that match, and Fernando began to constantly appear at the base. As a result, the footballer played 109 matches for Gremiu, in which he scored 8 goals.

The time has come to leave for Europe, and in the summer of 2013 Fernando moved to Shakhtar Donetsk; Rinat Akhmetov's club paid 11 million euros for the midfielder. In the 2013/14 season, he often played at the base and scored two goals. The very next summer, fate sent him a difficult test: while at a training camp in Switzerland, the team learned about the start of hostilities in eastern Ukraine, and among Shakhtar's Brazilian diaspora the question was discussed - whether to return to Donetsk or stay in safe Europe. At that time, Fiorentina was interested in the Brazilian, but Fernando, according to him, “handed himself into the hands of God and decided to return.” The reward for courage was the second Ukrainian Super Cup he won. Fernando played the 2014/15 season for Shakhtar in full, and in July last year he signed a contract with Sampdoria, which paid the Donetsk club 8 million euros for the player. For the first team of Shakhtar, the Brazilian played 27 games, scored 2 goals, became the champion of Ukraine-2013/14 and two-time winner of the country's Super Cup.

GET CRAZY AND LEAVE

In “Sampdoria” by Walter Zengi (and later by Vincenzo Montella, who replaced him), Fernando started just great. He distinguished himself already in the first match of the championship, scoring Carpi from a free-kick with a passing kick, and in the next round he gave an assist in the match with Napoli.

Under the leadership of Montella, “Sampa” performed unsuccessfully, until the very end of the championship, the team could see the prospect of play-offs. Nevertheless, the trust of Vincenzo-“Airplane” to Fernando was almost absolute – the Brazilian played 33 matches for the Genoese without substitutions.

The midfielder had aspired to Italy for a long time and, being in Sampdoria, he was very happy, thanking the president of the club Massimo Ferrero and Montella for the opportunity. However, only a year has passed (during which the player played 38 matches, scored 4 goals and gave 4 assists) - and Fernando, apparently, leaves the warmer climes, despite a five-year contract with the Italian club.

Why "Spartacus" Fernando

As reported by "SE", after today's medical examination in Rome, the Brazilian midfielder should join Spartak tomorrow. We are talking about the future newcomer of the red-whites.

Protracted negotiations on the signing of a contract between midfielder "Sampdoria" Fernando and Moscow "Spartak" are close to completion. So, it's time to get to know the Brazilian's playing characteristics and understand what role he is destined for in the ensemble of Dmitry Alenichev in the upcoming season.

In 2013, for the first time, I had a chance to watch the then Gremiu player in a friendly match between the national teams of Brazil and Russia. Speaking in the position of the only defensive midfielder, he tried to act as simply as possible, passing the ball only to a close partner and not exacerbating at all. It is noteworthy that on the opposite half of the field, Denis Glushakov is in the same position, with whom it is now very likely that he will have to share the main zone of the football field.

I especially liked the actions of Fernando in that match, how great the Brazilian reads the game. Regularly predicting the direction of the opponent's passes, he advanced to their addressees in time, thereby limiting the opponents as much as possible in space and time to continue the attack. At the same time, Fernando did not see any particular rigidity and tenacity in the actions, and in martial arts on the “second floor” he did experience difficulties due to his short stature (175 cm).

Fernando, then still young (he is now 24) and very promising, strictly and diligently followed the instructions of Luiz Felipe Scolari, who apparently asked him to deal exclusively with defense. Although a couple of times the player tried to get out of the shadows. So, in the first half, he performed a free kick with a running start in the style of Roberto Carlos, but it turned out much higher than the gate, which deserved a reproach from an experienced Marcelo. In the second case, it turned out more successfully, but his long-range shot became an easy prey for Vladimir Gabulov.

The most interesting thing is that it is precisely such inclusions from the depths with strikes that are now the hallmark of the player. Over the past three and a half years since that meeting, his style of play has changed a lot. He has become more inventive and brazen, and the scope of work now extends from box to box. Yes, he does not lead the game, but in almost every Serie A match, Fernando had a decent number of chances for shots that he did not hesitate to take. Plus, he took on most of the "standards", which speaks of confidence and trust on the part of partners. By the way, the balls fly from the Brazilian along a very difficult trajectory for goalkeepers.

A feature of his strikes with the inside of the foot is a sharp fall of the ball. You rarely see this in our league. Something similar was with Nikola Drincic, who played for several seasons in Russia for Amkar, Spartak and Krasnodar. In Europe, Snyder is famous for this performance, regularly scoring in a similar manner. Thus, now Promes has a competitor in terms of "standards", and the team has an additional trump card.

But, of course, "Spartacus" needs a lot more from a midfielder than just hitting and performing "standards". We need a football player who can properly dispose of the ball, turn on in time and complete attacks, but at the same time thinking about defense. If Ivelin Popov and Jano Ananidze play only for attack, and Romulus only for defense, then they expect balance from Fernando. I note that Denis Glushakov performs similar functions, and another question is whether they will duplicate each other.

The invitation of a midfielder from the Italian championship only convinces that Alenichev is not going to deviate from a disciplined game for the result. The final rounds of the last championship confirmed the opinion that Spartak is now able to consistently get points, only giving the ball and the initiative to the opponent. The team realized that the score on the scoreboard is much more important than the long-forgotten openwork football, and the trio of central midfielders Romulo - Fernando - Glushakov should become a guarantor of reliability.

The past European Championship has clearly shown what kind of game can be used to achieve success. Spartak is trying to keep up with the times, which means that the purchase of a Brazilian defensive midfielder, as well as the invitation of the Italian specialist Massimo Carrera, should finally convince the fans that the club is changing its philosophy - first of all towards the result, and only then a spectacular game.

Fernando joined Spartak

Midfielder Fernando, who previously played for Sampdoria, has joined Spartak, informs the official website of the red and white. The 24-year-old Brazilian, accompanied by the team's physiotherapist Diego Mantovani, arrived at the hotel where Muscovites are based in Germany for the second foreign training camp.

It is noted that Fernando was in a good mood. This was immediately noticed by the general director of Spartak Sergey Rodionov and the head coach of the team Dmitry Alenichev. They greeted each other warmly.

Welcome to Spartak! Rodionov said. - See you tonight.

I am glad to see you in the Spartak team, - Alenichev said in his native Portuguese language for the newcomer.

I am also happy about this event. And I’m ready to get to work today,” Fernando answered.

After that, Alenichev went to set up the team for a friendly game with Young Boys, before the start of which there were three hours left (18.00 Moscow time). And Rodionov took his seat on the bus, which, fifteen minutes later, headed for Abtville, Switzerland, where the match would take place.

The Brazilian stayed at the hotel to have lunch, get equipped and have his first training session as a Spartak player in the gym.

Earlier it was reported that the transition of the 24-year-old Brazilian is estimated at 12 million euros, and the term of the agreement will be 5 years. According to unofficial information, the player's salary will be 3 million. Recall that a year ago, Sampdoria acquired Fernanda from Shakhtar for 8 million euros. The midfielder played 38 games for Sampdoria last season, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists.

Fernando: "The decision to move to Spartak was made together with my wife"

Newcomer "Spartacus" midfielder Fernando in an interview with the club's press service noted that he made the decision to move with his wife. According to the 24-year-old Brazilian, he is very pleased, because Spartak is a big European club.

- How did you fly from Rome, where did you undergo a medical examination?

All is well, we arrived well. Of course, I am pleased that I came to Spartak. This is a new stage in my life.

- With what mood did you come to our team?

I know that Spartak is a big European club. And this is already enough for my motivation in training and in the game to be more than serious.

Much has been written and said in the Italian and Russian media about your move from Sampdoria to Spartak. Moreover, some journalists noted that your wife had the last word ...

This is a very important decision in my career and in the life of my family. Of course, the wife expressed her opinion about moving to Russia. But we, as always, made the final decision together.

Well, we wish you fruitful training and a good, meaningful winning game in the Moscow “Spartak”.

Thanks a lot! - unexpectedly for all of us, the Brazilian midfielder answered in Russian.

Defensive scorer for Spartak. What kind of player is Fernando

Sovsport.ru talks about the 24-year-old Sampdoria midfielder Fernando, who may soon sign a contract with Spartak.

"GREMIO" SOBBING INTO THE PHONE

All talented Brazilian football players start their careers in much the same way: they leave their hinterland, from the favelas, to large cities and famous club academies. But Fernando parting with his family and hometown of Ereshin was too hard. At the age of 13, the midfielder was called by the Juventud club, and the footballer went to live almost 400 km from his parents. Fernando was a home child, was strongly attached to his two brothers. Therefore, the change of scenery was not easy for him.

When I left for Caxias do Sul, it became incredibly difficult. He cried all day long, constantly talked with his parents on the phone, sobbed into the phone. Thoughts popped into my head to quit. When I was away from my family, I thought: “Is it worth all these sacrifices?” Fernando told GloboEsporte.

But the heartache has passed. After eight months and after one youth tournament, Fernando was noticed at Gremio, where he moved. The midfielder's family was still separated by 400 km, but the call to the youth team (players under 15 years old) helped the player forget about separation from loved ones and gave motivation.

Every footballer faces challenges. It often happened that I ate only once a day to save money and go to training. My parents did not buy anything for themselves in order to pay for my transportation, to buy a training uniform. It's great when you achieve childhood dreams. Now when I think about all the problems that I had to go through, I'm sure it was not in vain, said Fernando.

By the way, in Gremio, the midfielder once won the competition with Adilson Varken, who now plays for Terek.

SHAKHTER INSTEAD OF REAL

A few months before signing a five-year contract with Shakhtar, Fernando said that he had many offers from Europe. There were rumors that even Real Madrid were interested in him. However, in 2013, the midfielder went to the Ukrainian championship.

When the political crisis began in the country, Fernando gave several interviews to the Brazilian media, saying that he hardly leaves the house, but he is not afraid to stay at Shakhtar.

I only go to practice. I try not to leave the house in the evenings, I only get to grocery stores. At first, the situation was not easy, but after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, everyone calmed down a bit, - said the midfielder, and added about his career in the Ukrainian club: “I want to play here all five years, but I do not exclude that I can return to Brazil.”

But the words of the Brazilian diverged from the deed. After a good debut, Fernando began to lose ground. Didn't always fit in. And Shakhtar sold him to Sampdoria at a discount.

TEAM PET SCOLARI

"Favorite" Fernando nicknamed the Brazilian press. The midfielder made his debut in the national team under Mano Menezes, who pulled all his pupils (even ex-Kazan Carlos Eduardo) into the countryside. But Fernando entrenched himself in the squad and was included in the national team for the 2013 Confederations Cup under Luis Felipe Scolari. Then Fernando was 21 years old.

The Brazilian also played against the Russian team in a friendly match at Stamford Bridge. Here is what Bleacher Report wrote about him after that meeting: “Once Brazil managed to seize the initiative, Fernando became noticeable on the field. He felt confident in the role of a player initiating attacks. His passes, even under pressure from an opponent, were almost always accurate. Fernando's main task was to insure the back four, to be like a shield, while his midfield partner Hernanes dispersed the attacks. His tackling style is a little risky. But this is what struck me: Fernando clearly closed the positions that his partners left, running away to the attack. He managed to secure both David Luis and Dani Alves.”

By the way, the player also has a second nickname, less well-known - a defensive midfielder-scorer. The fact is that Fernando has always been better able to play in creation than in destruction. Now the midfielder can do everything. And proof of this is his game for Sampdoria.

"SAMPDORIA" VERSATILE SUPPORTER

In Serie A for 35 matches, Fernando scored 4 goals and gave three assists. The well-known portal Football Observatory, based on statistics, highly appreciated the skills of the defensive midfielder. Even calculated its cost - 17.6 million euros. Whereas transfermarkt valued the player only 9 million. Judging by the statistics (interceptions, tackles, martial arts, accurate passes and shots on goal), Fernando turns out to be a very versatile defensive midfielder. He is equally good at positioning, tackling the ball and calmly giving an accurate pass. In the person of Fernando, Spartak will get a player who can do everything in the center of the field. Only the Brazilian will not succeed in fulfilling the conditional Wernbloom. He was not created for “burning out”, but at the moment he is definitely stronger than his compatriot Romulo.
