While Fernandinho stays in touch with his team-mates, the 34-year-old admitted that it is difficult for him to live in isolation. As he misses all aspects of life in the club. “I miss training sessions, relationships with colleagues and staff, a time before training you talk with a countenance, sometimes a kitchen after breakfast, and even on the field before training. That’s all,” he said. “We live in different ways, so now we are not isolated from everyone. You make some phone and video calls, but it’s not the same. Although life is difficult now, Fernandinho enjoys spending more time with his family and the warmer weather in Brazil.
We spend seven days a week at home
“Before the lockdown in the UK, I asked for permission to go to Brazil to spend this difficult time with my family,” Fernandinho said. “The club allowed me to come, and I am here in Northeast Brazil. We took a house here with some space for children, and we spend this time here”. Now we spend more time with the children, my wife, and my family, and this is a different situation. Most of the time you are away, and you have to travel, sometimes you sleep at home two or three days a week because most of the time you are away.”Now we spend at home seven days a week, and you open a new life. I enjoy this time. My daughter helped me in the first few days, and now my son helps me too. It is the best way to work and be happy.”
