Manchester City signing Fernandinho is a man on a mission.
Fernandinho, 28, aims to enhance the reputation of Brazilians abroad.
"I want to change the perception that people have over here about the way Brazilians play," he said.
"English teams are fearful about signing players straight from Brazil because of the different style of play, and the belief that maybe Brazilians are not well suited to the Premier League. I can only speak on a personal level, and I believe the way I play will suit the English style.
"I came here to win. Of course, I will be paid as a professional footballer, but the only thing I am greedy for is success. In my country we say that football is like a huge plate of food - well, I want to eat everything because I want to win every trophy that I can for City."
