Bruno Fernandes
The Commander
Decision under pressure, front of house, leads visibly from the front.
Bruno Fernandes reads as The Commander in the most literal sense of leadership, wearing the captain's armband at Manchester United, one of the most scrutinised roles in world sport.
“I think there's nothing better than a risk reward that is a goal. So I think when you play as a number 10 position, obviously you don't want to lose the ball. You have to make that as less as possible. But in certain positions, you lose the ball more often than others. Wingers will lose more the ball on 1v1s than midfielders do.”
“No, because as I said to you, I think as a player you can be as good as you want. Like at the end of the day, I think the way you behave and the way you treat people around you is the most important thing because you spend so much time with them that they kind of become part of your day by day.”
“I need to be the one that takes four. They need to be the ones that take one each because the responsibility they have in the team is the one that they make the team play from the build up, push the team forward to then get the ball into the players that have to take the risks.”
“I think obviously I have to say that I have good genetics, but I was talking with Yoga about this the other day also and the nutritionist about genetics, how you treat yourself and everything. But then at the same time, I said to them, you know what's different on me than the other ones? Because I always train 100%.”
