Remulo Marques, then vice-president of Boavista, Bruno’s first club.
“When I speak about Bruno Fernandes, what comes to mind is the intelligence of the boy. He was, above all, very clever — both as a player and as a person.”
Francesco Guidolin, Bruno’s manager at Udinese.
“Bruno Fernandes is a player who covers all the bases, defensively and offensively. From centre-midfield onwards, he can do anything. He's got a long-range shot. He can take free kicks and penalties. His scoring ability is second to none. In 20 years of journalism, I have never seen a midfield player score goals like that.
