My Take

Fernandão is the sort of import striker I cannot help but admire. Born in Rio and standing 192 cm, he bounced around Brazil before finding his real stage in Turkey, scoring 49 goals in 93 Süper Lig games for Bursaspor and Fenerbahçe and topping the league with 22 in 2014-15. I love a forward who travels far from home and learns to deliver in a strange country, with new food and a new language, and simply keeps finding the net. A kid from the Rio sun earning respect as a finisher across the Mediterranean is a story that speaks for itself. Goals are his language, and I respect that fluency.
