Mário Figueira Fernandes (Russian: Марио Фигейра Фернандес; born 19 September 1990 in São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo) is a Brazilian-Russian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for PFC CSKA Moscow.[1]
Career
Club
Grêmio
Fernandes joined Grêmio in March 2009, signing until 2014. A few days after signing with Grêmio, Brazilian police were called in to search for him after he disappeared. Fernandes was found a few days later in São Paulo state, after having withdrawn cash in Londrina, Porto Alegre and Florianópolis. Fernandes made his debut for the club against Sport on 28 June 2009. Fernandes established himself as Grêmio's first-choice right back, attracting interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Juventus, Internazionale, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, F.C.Porto, CSKA Moscow, AFC Ajax and A.S. Roma in the process, being dubbed "the new Lúcio".
CSKA Moscow
On 25 April 2012, the Gremio president announced that a 15 million euro deal had been agreed with CSKA Moscow and Fernandes was set to join them pending a medical examination. During the 2013-14 campaign he suffered a knee injury ruling him out for the first 4 months of the season.
In 2015, he was the key player in 3rd Champions League qualifying - CSKA Moscow won the second leg against Sparta Prague 3:2. Fernandes played 90 minutes, after 64 minutes (2:2) and after one ordinary tackle he was screaming and faked an injury. Referee Paolo Mazzoleni showed Marek Matejovsky the red card. Russian daily Kommersant wrote it was "An important theatre piece". Czech newspapers said the play was certainly not card worthy and Fernandes lacked fair play.[2]
on 29 June 2017, Fernandes signed a new contract with CSKA, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2022.[3]
International
Brazil
In 2011, Fernandes was called to the Brazil squad for the game Superclásico de las Américas and said no, saying he was having "personal problems". Fernandes went on to make his debut for Brazil in a 4-0 friendly victory against Japan on 14 October 2014.[4]
Russia
After acquiring Russian citizenship, he was called up to the Russia national football team for the friendly games against Turkey on 31 August 2016 and Ghana on 6 September 2016.[5] However, at that point, he had only been a CSKA Moscow player since April 2012, which meant he hadn't lived in Russia continuously for at least five years yet. Thus, he wasn't eligible to play for Russia until April 2017.
On 23 March 2017, it was announced that he would make his debut for Russia on 24 March in a friendly against Ivory Coast.[6] He did not appear in that game.
Personal life
On 13 July 2016, he received Russian citizenship.[7] His younger brother, Jô, is also a footballer.[8]
