Mini Biography :
For many, Fernandinho’s time as a member of the Brazil team seemed like a thing of the past.
After all at the beginning of 2014 it had been two years since the defensive midfielder’s last call up, which came back when Mano Menezes was in charge.
What people overlooked was that during this period the player, who first emerged at Atletico Paranaense, moved from Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk to English heavyweights Manchester City.
And the switch in June 2013 did not just involve changing shirts as, within a short time, he became one of the Citizens' key men.
“So much changed for me during this period, mainly because of my move from the Ukraine to England. I grew a lot on a personal level, and I think that was one of the most important factors in my return to A Seleção,” he told FIFA.com. “I have learnt a lot in a short time at City, especially in terms of tactics and technique.”
His ability to adapt quickly to his new surroundings certainly caught Luiz Felipe Scolari’s eye. Fernandinho was called up for the friendly against South Africa – the last before the final squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ was announced – and turned in an impressive display, even scoring a goal.
This, and his impressive form for the newly crowned English champions, was all the evidence Scolari needed to include the well-rounded midfielder in the squad aiming to win the World Cup on home soil.
