Fernandinho opens up on his new role at Manchester City

Manchester City player Fernandinho has told he feels good in central defence, though knows he can improve in another position as well. Aymeric Laporte and John Stones' injuries at the beginning of the season meant Fernandinho would take more responsibility on him, with summer signing Rodri playing at the midfield. Speaking on his new position, Fernandinho told: “I feel good. Of course, I have the help of my teammates and manager. It’s been great for me, trying to do my best as always since I signed for City. Sometimes you feel you have to improve a little bit – but that’s beauty of football. You can. Every morning, you can make it happen.” Though the Brazilian player turn 35 this season, he still feels fit for the game. “I just thank God for that because he gave me a body for it. Of course, I have to take care of myself, but the staff help take care of us. We have a really good team behind the scenes, and this helps us a lot. We prepare first the mind, then the body and then just go. I always say I will play until my mind allows me. If I am happy and motivated to train every day fresh, I will play, but I don’t want to say I will be 37, 38…we will see,” he told City's website:
