Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has already admitted that he missed Ukraine due to the fact he used to play alongside numerous Brazilians, whereas at City, he is the only one.
The Summer signing, who cost the club over £30million, revealed in an interview that he is struggling with life in England due to the fact he cannot speak the language and also admitted that he feels lonely because he’s the only Brazilian at the club.
“When I was playing at Shakhtar there were other Brazilian footballers, but here at Man City there aren’t any,” Fernandinho is quoted as saying by the Sunday People.
“It is a little complicated because I don’t speak English so when my team mates are talking in English I don’t understand what they are talking about.
“When I was at Shakhtar, I had Brazilian team-mates and I used to spend time with them, but here I’m alone. I see and talk with [Manchester United’s] Rafael and Anderson but not all the time. So yes, I miss Ukraine sometimes.”
Despite missing home, the midfield-man believes he has made the right move, as he eyes a spot in the Brazilian side for next year’s World Cup.
“I came to England because I thought it would help me to get back in the Brazilian national team,” Fernandinho continued.
“I’m not thinking about moving back to Brazil as I want to end my career in Europe, and I think about playing 10 more years!”
