Manchester City midfielder Fernando admits he looks to Nemanja Matic as a role model.
Fernando will do battle with the Chelsea ace tomorrow at Stamford Bridge.
"It's a specific position and one that is really important for every team all over the world," Fernando said of the holding role.
"I played against Matic in Portugal several times and he is a really great player. He has so much quality.
"There are not many players like him left now, I think, but he is one of those I try to look at and learn from as I try to improve the way I play that role.
"He is a player that has become incredibly important to Chelsea. I always try to watch these players in this position because there are so few left. I know I can learn from them."
