Mario, under the guise of a pause in his career, wants to sign a contract with a Brazilian club. But Muscovites are strongly opposed.
We are used to hearing that CSKA is a family. The club staff, coaches, players supposedly live in perfect harmony, conflicts do not leak into the press, and the leadership of the army team takes care of their players as if they were their own children. Remember how long, for example, Alan Dzagoev was in the team, although with his injuries CSKA could have terminated the contract long ago.
In general, the topic of suspension of agreements in Russian football has come to the fore (thanks to the FIFA option), and in the same CSKA there are already many cases of such departures. Among those who left the club and his veteran Mario Fernandez, however, the Brazilian seems to have taken a break in his career with no intention of moving anywhere.
At least that’s what he promised the club. But what is really happening?
Brazilian journalist Ademir Quintinho reported that Mario is close to signing a contract with Santos. It came as a complete surprise to army fans. It turns out that, under the pretext of family circumstances, Fernandez suspended the contract with CSKA, while he himself is secretly looking for a new team? Somehow it doesn’t look good.
On the other hand, the Brazilian can be understood. He is 31 years old, he gave the army team 10 years of his career, he played for the Russian national team. Plus, he performs in a very energy-consuming position. And Mario will have a baby soon, of course, the football player wants to be close to his family. However, the leadership of CSKA is not going to just let the veteran go to another club.
It is worth paying tribute to the new press service of CSKA, the club immediately reacted to the information that appeared. Previously, comments on such issues were very rare.
– Mario is not going to sign a contract with Santos, Atlético Paranaense or any other club. Literally just Roman Babaev and our specialist in international relations and a great friend of Mario Maxim Golovlev phoned him. And Mario personally denied all the rumors: no transfer is possible without the consent of CSKA. All our agreements, of course, are in force. It cannot be otherwise with Mario,” said CSKA communications director Kirill Breido.
Fernandez’s contract with Muscovites is valid until 2024. Earlier, CSKA head coach Vladimir Fedotov spoke about Mario’s departure. The specialist is sure that the Brazilian will still “dust” on the edge for the “red-blue”.
Fernandez is the history of CSKA. A young guy came here, spent his entire adult life here, received a Russian passport. This is a player dedicated to the club, the doors are always open for him, Mario knows about it. Did I have a dialogue with him? Secret. I think Mario has been wanting to come back for a long time, but he’s about to have a baby. As soon as he is born, the situation should change. I believe that Fernandez will still play for CSKA, – Fedotov is quoted by the “Championship”.
It is unlikely that the fans will scold Fernandez if he still remains to play at home. His contribution to the development of CSKA is huge, the language does not turn to reproach Mario for his choice. Well, if suddenly he decides to return to Moscow, then the fans will experience ecstasy. And Fedotov will stop puzzling over the choice of a player for the position of the right lateral.

The scorer of the brace against Chelsea is an Aston Villa player. Ollie Watkins appointed head coach of the team Unai Emery tactical genius. Watkins’ comment is quoted by the BBC in reference to Sky Sports.
The meeting of the 18th round of the English championship between Aston Villa and Chelsea from London ended with a strong victory for the Birmingham team with a score of 2:1.
“He changed tactics because Chelsea played man-marking, but he had an extra central defender when we played long balls. When I came on in the second half, he put Jadon Sancho and Morgan Rodgers on the wing and put Youri Tielemans in the No. 10 position, so we had an extra player. He’s a tactical genius,” Watkins said.
“Amazing victory. For me personally, to go on the pitch and score two goals is a fantastic feeling, but to continue that streak and come here to such a difficult place and beat Chelsea is just incredible,” he added.
