Fernando Luiz Roza (born 4 May 1985), or simply Fernandinho (Brazilian Portuguese: [feʁnɐ̃ˈdʒĩj̃u]; meaning "Little Fernando"), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Manchester City and the Brazil national team. He has also captained both sides on many occasions.[4][5]

Fernandinho started his career at Brazilian club Atlético Paranaense before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk in 2005, where he became one of the best foreign players to ever play in the Ukraine Premier League.[6] With Shakhtar, he won six Ukrainian Premier League titles, four Ukrainian Cups and the 2008–09 UEFA Cup. He was voted by the Shakhtar Donetsk fans as the best Brazilian player to ever play for the team.[7] The scorer of the only goal in the final of the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship and a full international for Brazil since 2011, he was part of their squad which came fourth at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and also competed at the 2015 Copa América.

Fernandinho is well known for his blistering pace and ability to shoot from long distances. He is described as "a defensive midfielder with a box to box style of play, contributing in large part to the defense and the attack. With a powerful shot and great passing range, Fernandinho has played an important part in breaking up opposition attacks and creating goal scoring opportunities".[8]

Club career

Atlético Paranaense

Fernandinho began his career at Atlético Paranaense alongside his future Shakhtar teammate Jádson and close friend Carlos.

Manchester City

Fernandinho playing for Manchester City in September 2013.

On 6 June 2013, Fernandinho became Manchester City's first signing of the summer, for a fee of £34 million.[59] He signed a four-year deal and is understood to have waived around £4 million owed to him by Shakhtar in order to complete the transfer, as he was desperate to secure a move away from the Ukrainian club.[60][61] During his time at Shakhtar, the Brazilian wore the number 7 shirt, but due to midfielder James Milner already occupying the number at City, Fernandinho had to choose another. In an interview with Manchester City, Fernandinho recalled a conversation with his son in which his son said, "My dad is the new number 25," and so Fernandinho subsequently chose 25 as his new number.[62]

2013–14 season

Fernandinho made his Premier League debut on 19 August 2013 against Newcastle United in a 4–0 home win.[63] He scored his first two goals for Manchester City on 14 December 2013 against Arsenal in a 6–3 home win and was also named man of the match after a classical display.[64] On 1 January 2014, he scored his third goal of the season in a 2–3 away win against Swansea City.[65] On 2 February, Fernandinho sustained a thigh injury in training, which kept him out of action for two weeks.[66]

On 11 May, Fernandinho was part of the squad who secured the Premier League title in a 2–0 win against West Ham United. He did not start the game, but appeared as a substitute for striker Edin Džeko in the 69th minute.

2014–15 season

On 5 November 2014, in a 2014–15 Champions League group match against CSKA Moscow, Fernandinho replaced Jesús Navas at half-time with Manchester City 1–2 down at home. He was then sent off in the 70th minute for a second booking, with teammate Yaya Touré following later, as the team lost and fell to last place in the group.[67]

2015–16 season

On 16 August 2015, Fernandinho scored the final goal in City's 3–0 win over Chelsea.[68] He added to his tally two weeks later, with his club's second goal in a City defeat of Watford in the Premier League.[69]

2016–17 season

Fernandinho's role in the club became so significant that the manager, Pep Guardiola, said: “If a team has three Fernandinhos, they would be champions. We have one, but he is fast, he is intelligent, he is strong in the air, he can play several positions. When he sees the space he will run there immediately. When you need to make a correction, you just need one player to challenge, and he is there.”[70][71]

2017–18 season

Fernandinho continued to play a vital role for Manchester City in the 2017-18 season helping them win their third Premier League title, his second.[72] He scored three goals with three assists in 30 appearances for the title winners.[73] Fernandinho also appeared in the League Cup final for City when they defeated Arsenal 3-0, however he was substituted after 52 minutes because of an injury.[74]

On 5 March 2014, Fernandinho scored his first international goal on his return to the Brazil team in a 5–0 win over South Africa.[77] In May 2014, he was named in Brazil's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[78] He made his tournament debut as a half-time substitute for Paulinho in the third game of the group stage, scoring the last goal in the 4–1 victory against Cameroon.[79] He was then selected in the starting line-up for Brazil's penalty shootout defeat of Chile in the round of 16.[80] Fernandinho played a full match against Colombia in the quarter-finals, and played the first 45 minutes before being taken off in Brazil’s 1–7 loss to Germany in the semi-finals: Brazil’s biggest ever defeat at the World Cup.[81]
