Nathan Ake described Fernandinho in three words – “Captain, leader, legend.” Fernandinho, who joined Manchester City in 2013, has become one of the greatest players to have ever played for the club. Despite not being seen as a major signing initially, Fernandinho outshone other players like Jesus Navas and Alvaro Negredo by winning numerous trophies with City and becoming a club legend.
Ake and Rico Lewis played a game of ‘Who am I?’ to guess Fernandinho as the player in question. Ake’s three-word description of Fernandinho reflects his impact and influence at Manchester City. Both Ake and Fernandinho are known for their leadership qualities on the field, with Ake continuing to grow in stature as a player and leader. It is suggested that Ake may have taken inspiration from Fernandinho’s leadership style and dedication to become a world-class player.
