00:00I'm Kelly Summers and this season I'll be asking some of the biggest names in football the questions they don't normally get asked, to find out more about the person behind the player.
00:10The first half will be on football, the second about their life away from the game.
00:15This isn't just any interview, this is the football interview.
00:18This week I'm joined by Manchester United captain and Portugal international Bruno Fernandes.
00:30Bruno, describe to me a young Bruno, what were you like as a child?
00:36A dreamer, someone very passionate about everything he would do, a kid with a ball under his arm all the time, a kid that would love to be outside of his house with his cousins, with his friends, to play, not only to play football but to do anything that I could to enjoy my childhood.
00:57I was a very happy child.
01:00What is your standout childhood memory?
01:02I wouldn't say one, I have so many because I had very good moments as a child.
01:09Obviously for me playing football will always be the shyness point in my youth, the thing of going into the school with the ball, waiting for the bell to come on, to run into the pitch, to get there first and then anyone else to get the pitch to play.
01:28There are many, many, many good things that I have done in my childhood that I wouldn't say that I have a standout one.
01:34Do you remember the first team you played for?
01:36Yes, obviously I started, I went to my first team, it's called Infesta, so I went to play there as a futsal player first, but I only got into one training session and they wanted me straight away into the older ones when I ended up playing with people two years older than me because I was still very young to get into the leagues.
02:01So I had to play with the ones two years older than me and to be honest, it was a very good moment for me because I learned in adversity, you know, being smaller, being less strong than them and made me more strong mentally to understand that you're going to have this kind of challenge through your life and you just have to get through them.
02:22Who would you say has had the biggest impact on your career?
02:25Obviously my family in a whole, obviously my parents growing up was where they never let me think that I wouldn't be able to do something.
02:39And at the same time, they always kept myself on the floor, like don't think too high and never think too low.
02:49So just put a line there, put your dreams above that and then go for that.
02:55And then obviously when I did join with my wife, actual wife now, girlfriend at the time, she had a little bit of the same as my mom and my dad.
03:09You know, she always kept me very low.
03:11She was always very supportive of me, but always like just be aware that things can go wrong.
03:18So just don't think too much ahead, just think about the moment and what you want for the future, but make that the moment will help you to achieve that in the future.
03:27And as a family, we always had that from my childhood and then going to pass that to my young kids now, it's amazing because the way I and my wife think is very similar.
03:38So the together that was very good.
03:41And then I think as a manager, Guidolin was the one that changed my career in Udinese because it was another one that he made me play.
03:50He made me think about everything I had to do, you know, and he made me learn that to get into the top level, he will have to suffer.
04:02Which retired player would you love to play against?
04:06Against?
04:06I played against almost all my idols, let's say.
04:16I would say two.
04:20Zidane and Ronaldinho.
04:24Just because Ronaldinho was one of my, was my first love in football, basically.
04:30He just made everyone enjoy football, love football.
04:33Like it was so fun to watch him play, you know, like always with a smile in his face in everything he would do.
04:39So it was just pure, pure joy, you know, as a, as a young, as a young, as a young player, that's what most of the times you wanted to see, you know, like him getting on the ball and being so effective on everything he would do.
04:51Even at the same time being so nice, like a lot of flair and everything, but he could do that and being effective at the same time.
04:59So it was, he had everything, you know, like, and unfortunately for, I think for most of my generation, he didn't play as long as we wanted to have him playing because he was, he was something special.
05:11What are you most proud of from your career so far?
05:14Everything, because I was a young kid with, full of dreams that never thought that I would achieve as much I have achieved because you don't think about that.
05:25You think about playing football, you think about enjoying yourself.
05:28You think about playing as much as you can, because when you, when you're young, you just, you just think about playing football.
05:34You want to, you, obviously you see the television, you see the professionals, you say like, ah, this is where I want to be.
05:39But your thought is like, my thought at least was just like, I just enjoy playing football.
05:44I just want to do this for the, for the rest of my life.
05:47Like it's, there's nothing else that I know how to do.
05:49Obviously, you know to do different things, but there's nothing else that I want to do different than this.
05:54And I would say that for me, football was always the main thing and will still always be my main thing until the end of my days, not my career.
06:06What's the hardest thing to do on a football pitch?
06:08Being consistent, I think, because I think during 90 minutes, let's say we're talking about a football pitch,
06:17because during 90 minutes you have to be so consistent in everything you do, that as, as sometimes it goes and slips away from you, it can change everything.
06:26So I think consistency, so in the first thing is consistent of doing whatever you think is the best for the team,
06:33because that has to come first of everything, that you can't do anything without thinking on the team first,
06:39because that has to, in football, is what has to come above everything, because there's nothing more important than the team.
06:47And then it comes yourself, to put yourself in the best position to help the team.
06:51And when I'm on the pitch, that's the thing that I have most in my head, that the consistency I had to do my things will help the team to become better.
07:00So I have to be the most consistent and accurate player I can be in any moment of the game.
07:10Not with the ball, but also without the ball, but also in some things that you have to say to your teammates.
07:17When you want to change something in position-wise, changing set pieces has to be accurate,
07:23because if a little thing changes, it can go against you.
07:30I want to try and find out a little bit more about Bruno, the person.
07:34How would your best friend describe you?
07:37I don't know, you should ask him.
07:40I didn't have his phone number, sadly.
07:42I'm very passionate about everything he does.
07:45Just that in everything, I include myself, I just like to go with myself at full,
07:53because I don't like to do things at half, I don't think.
07:57And football was the main thing.
07:59I always wanted to go full for it.
08:01So you're like that in every walk of life, not just with football?
08:03In everything, what you see on the pitch is what Bruno is like.
08:09The passion I put on everything, and then obviously much more calm out of the pitch.
08:15I don't have the emotions on the skin as much as I have it on the pitch,
08:19but still very passionate in everything he does.
08:21You said that you're a bit calmer off the pitch.
08:24When were you last nervous?
08:26Last nervous?
08:27Did you get nervous?
08:28Yeah, a lot of times.
08:30I think, yeah, the game against Wolves, I was on the bench, but I think I get more nervous on being on the bench.
08:37It's a different feeling for you being on the bench, isn't it?
08:38No, I think I get more nervous on being on the bench.
08:41Obviously, luckily for me, and I hope not many times I will be on the bench, but I get more nervous watching the game.
08:50Because, you know, I'm basically suffering for my teammates when you see something going against them and they're trying to make something different and it doesn't come.
08:59I get very nervous, I get very nervous.
09:00I'm very, like, I can't be steady on the bench or even at home if I have to stay at home and see the game at home.
09:09I can't be, like, not loud.
09:11I need to be loud.
09:12I need to be active.
09:13It's like I'm in the game.
09:14I guess the balance that you learn as a footballer is the right side of nerves, being using the nerves positively.
09:21Yeah, you need to use it in energy-wise.
09:25I would say the game against Lyon was probably the game where I was the most nervous until now.
09:30Also because we knew how much it meant for us.
09:33So even before the game, I was very nervous on the sense I was, like, I couldn't wait for the game.
09:39It's that good nervous of, like, we want things to come quick because we want to show that we're able to get into things, get to do something good for us.
09:48And that's the good thing of being nervous in a good way.
09:51How are you feeling during the game then?
09:53Because obviously it didn't go to plan to start with.
09:56Did you get nervous at that point?
09:57Did you get nervous in-game?
09:58No, never.
10:00During the game, no.
10:02Before the games, I could get nervous.
10:04During the game, I just think about the goal we have for the game, that is win the game.
10:13What do we have to do?
10:14I remember every step that we've trained.
10:17I remember every step that my teammates have to do.
10:19I remember every position, what they have to do.
10:21Like, when I go to the training session, I focus not just on what I have to do, but what's around me.
10:26Because it could change that I have to play in a different position.
10:30It could change that we change something and a teammate is not very aware of where he has to be or in which position he should stay.
10:38On set pieces, everything.
10:39I know exactly where everyone has to be.
10:42So that's the only nervous thing is that it's getting everything into my memory.
10:47So I can remember in the game, every step, also when I'm on the ball, I know every movement that my teammates have to do.
10:53So to be aware of, like, I'm on the ball here, so what we trained is this.
10:58But obviously, you have to think that in a split second.
11:01But it gets automatically because I have to think about that during the week until the game.
11:06So when you think so many times about something, your muscle memory works by itself.
11:13So I think that's the main thing.
11:15If you could wear an invisibility cloak for a day so no one could see you, what would you do and where would you go?
11:23I would go with my kids wherever they wanted to go.
11:28Because obviously sometimes it's very tough to go with my kids in certain points.
11:32Even if now they're very aware of, like, people asking for photos and stuff.
11:38And they already know, like, when someone asks me for photos, they just, like, they just go apart.
11:42But the older one gets a small one, she grabs him, they basically stand at me, looking at me like, okay, take the photo, now we go.
11:48Hurry up.
11:48But probably it was like, was that.
11:51I would like to go to, like, to places where I was going when I was a young kid.
11:56And I would like to go with them there again, like, without them, like, needed to stop every time something they want to do to enjoy the time with them.
12:07I would go to a beach in Portugal to try to enjoy as much I can with them.
12:11But I still do it, to be honest.
12:13I'm not a person that gets very annoyed by people taking photos with you.
12:18I get more annoyed when people are trying to take photos of you while you're doing something with your kids.
12:24I don't mind people asking for photos.
12:26That's one of the good things of our work, get recognized.
12:29In a few years' time, we won't get recognized that much, so we will be fine.
12:33And I'm a person that does what any other person will do on a normal life.
12:37And if someone catches me doing something that, oh, Bruno is doing that and put it in the newspaper or whatever, I won't mind.
12:44I was just enjoying the moment and being happy with my kids doing anything on any place.
12:50And even if I have to do something with my friends or whatever it is, I won't mind people taking photos so they can't stop wasting their time taking photos,
12:57thinking that they're going to make a big new or whatever, that I'm just a normal person living a normal life.
13:03How would your kids describe you?
13:07That's more difficult.
13:09Very tough on them.
13:11Are you?
13:12Yes.
13:13Because I am like, I think nowadays we make things much easier for the kids.
13:18And as a parent now, I obviously do it.
13:22And I look back when I was a kid and obviously I think most of the things my mom has done to me and my father, I was seeing as a punishment.
13:31And now I see it as a, okay, it was something to make me understand why is the reason for that.
13:37And nowadays I think sometimes I make things too easy for them.
13:41But at the same time, I try to make it as tough as I can for them to understand that things in life don't come easily and don't come as often as we want or at any time we want.
13:53So every time they want something for themselves, they have to earn it.
13:58But me, I don't know, as a father, a little bit tough on them, but at the same time, very soft, very soft art.
14:07Because it's too easy for them to get into my soft side.
14:11Because I'm a very soft person, even if it doesn't look like on the beach.
14:14I'm a very soft heart.
14:16Finally, what is the one thing that you think people who maybe don't know you as well, get wrong about you the most?
14:24Nothing.
14:25People have an opinion about me and I can't change that.
14:28It's the way people want to judge you about what they see on most of the people, what they see on the beach, some of them what they see on the television, some of them what they see on interviews.
14:40You know, I can't change that.
14:42They have the freedom to think the way they want about me as I have the same freedom to think about them.
14:50But what I don't do is, like, I don't judge people until I know them.
14:55They can have an opinion about me and that's fine.
14:58We all have different opinions.
15:00That's why life is so good and so different.
15:02Because if we all think the same way, it will be so boring.
15:05Brilliant.
15:05Thank you so much for your time, Bruno.
15:06You're welcome.
15:07Pleasure.
15:07Thank you very much.
