Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho says he wants to play in every game for the club, and gets angry when he is substituted.
The Brazilian has been a permanent fixture in the City side this season, clocking up a staggering 2,516 minutes of action this season – more than any other player.
Many City fans have picked him out as the club’s best and most consistent performer this term.

And the 30-year old says he does not wish to sit out any of the club’s games as they aim to compete on four fronts.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, He said:
I can rest at the end of the season and enjoy time with my family. That’s when I’ll recharge my batteries, not before. I just love to play and always want to be involved. Occasionally when I come off during a game I get a little bit angry. But it’s only because I want to play in every game and every minute to help my team-mates.
Fernandinho, a summer signing from Shakhtar in 2013, has scored three goals for the club in all competitions this season and has been pleased with his performances – though he says he feels better the more he works and the more he plays.

My body works best when I’m playing all the time so when I work more and I play more I feel better. Since I returned from my holidays in the summer, I tried to play straight away – even though I didn’t take part in pre-season. But I felt good and it carried on from there. I’ve been happy with my performances. My aim is to keep these levels up throughout the season and help us win games and keep on the right track.
