Done an interview with the great Fernandinho - and his insight into the dressing room is exactly what I was hoping for 👇 mol.im/a/15735087
FERNANDINHO EXCLUSIVE: I'd rather kick someone in training than shout
Fernandinho was a City captain far earlier than when the armband was eventually given to him. His was a selflessness, a dedication to the cause and an insistence others around him would flourish.
