Fernandes explained what it’s like to play behind Ronaldo as a No.10 for both club and country. Speaking to The Athletic, he said (via Manchester Evening News):
“In the national team, I play with him and when I score, he is on the pitch. To play with Cristiano as a No.10 is actually really good because players respect Cristiano so much that it creates more space, as the opponents are afraid of him taking the ball and scoring.”
He added:
“Obviously he can be really good to play together with, for someone who gives assists, as if you give him the right ball, he will score goals.
