Man City skipper Fernandinho: I've inked contract to win more things

Manchester City captain Fernandinho says he's signed a new contract in order to win more silverware next season.

Fernandino has penned a new one-year deal this morning.

He stated, “When the season starts there's always big expectations from everyone, including ourselves.

“In football, whatever is going on, players come in and players go out, and I think this is normal and it's part of the process.

“But, for sure, the players which are here now, they know and they understand the level we are at now. The performance level, the results level.

“It's important that anyone who comes in should know that as soon as they come here and sign for City, you don't come here for a holiday.

“You come here to work hard and to keep doing the same job we are doing here and to improve the level as well.

“I think this is really important because our targets are really clear.

“We want to play good football, to perform well on the pitch and to win titles."

The midfielder added: "I think Manchester and the UK in general can give you all those things, education, health care, and the tranquillity to live here the best way possible and for you to do your job as well.

“That for sure was one of the things we put on the paper.

“It was, how can I say, a good point to decide to be here and to stay here another year.

“And for sure, my family are really happy. My son, he's starting to play football now. I hope he can follow his dad's path!"
