Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is full of praise for teammate Fernandinho.
The pair have formed a formidable midfield partnership this season.
Toure told the Daily Mail: "He's very clever. Brazilians play pretty, fantastic football and Fernandinho is clever - he anticipates well, he presses well.
"His movement is so good but he can play with the ball as well. Before he came to City, he was at Shakhtar playing in my position, more as an offensive midfielder.
"Sometimes we have some difficulties because when he attacks I have to stay more to protect the defence, but we are doing well and he helps me a lot. The manager demands a lot from us because he wants us to have more of the ball and he wants us to attack. He doesn't want to just score and defend."
