What Bruno Fernandes said about the MU captain armband

With Harry Maguire injured, coach Solskjaer handed the captain’s armband to midfielder Bruno Fernandes and left him speechless in the press conference room.

Bruno didn’t say anything about the captain’s armband

After a long interview with MUTV just after the press conference, the Portuguese midfielder said: “My funny reaction is because I didn’t expect to be the captain. But I am incredibly happy, it is a great honor to be the captain of a great club. You can have a captain’s armband, but everyone must show leadership qualities.

I am a ‘noisy’ player, but not a noisy leader. I like talking to my colleagues, trying to help them and I need to act as usual, perhaps more with the bracelet in hand.

I have not been at the club for a long time, but I have had this honor, which shows that the coach believes in me a lot and likes the way I lead. How about flipping a coin? I don’t know, let’s wait and see.

Bruno Fernandes gasped as captain

Before the game against PSG we were very confident after our victory at the weekend. I think all the players are safe and ready for an impressive performance. We know our quality and we can deliver a good game. We want to kick off the Champions League in the best possible way.

Edinson Cavani just had a second training session, the other rookies took a little longer. They need to play to understand what the team needs, what the coach asks of them. But they are all quality players and are capable of helping the whole team a lot. Our job is to help them adapt as quickly as possible.

About the historic retrograde match against PSG, I saw it. Diogo Dalot was playing back then and as a Portuguese player you always want to see your friend play. I saw that game and MU played very well. It will also be a difficult game like that. There are already other players playing for both teams, so it will be a completely different match, but the point is that we want to win similar results.

I also joke with Dalot about the grief he receives. I said if the opponent did not touch his hands, the ball would fly into the stands. Sure, Dalot was a bit lucky in that situation, but that’s football. MU has proven to be good enough to deserve to continue.

Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot are very close

I don’t want to be disrespectful, but the Champions League is the most exciting league in Europe. The Europa League is a league that we wanted to win last year, but we couldn’t. At this point, the focus is on the Champions League, because the strongest teams, the biggest names are playing here.

That is very important to us. The whole team needs to improve and perform better, you need to become a better player to play against great people.

When you play with quality players like Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford or Van de Beek, it is much easier. I love playing with Juan, one of the smartest players. You know what I want and you think very fast.

Mata is one of the smartest players, according to Bruno Fernandes

Of course, with Marcus on top it’s great too. Look at the previous game, I had a good pass but if the receiver wasn’t as fast as Rashy, he would be caught by the defender. And Donny is also a great player and will help us a lot. We have an incredible attacker.

Both MU and PSG have quality public goods and want to have the ball. The PSG attacker is one of the worst opponents you want to face. They have Di María, who played for Manchester United, then Neymar and Mbappé. I don’t think you should say much about their quality, but we can also make the PSG defense miserable.

I know that Neymar or Mbappé will be mentioned more than Rashford or Martial, but let’s wait and see what happens in this game.
