Fernandes played down the row and now adds that his relationship with Lindelof is good
‘He is one of the people with whom I have the best relationship in the club, also because he speaks Portuguese, and as everyone saw he speaks well,’ Fernandes told Portuguese outlet A Bola.
‘Those were obviously the first words he learned in Portugal, it is always what we teach them.
‘But it was a game situation that none took to heart. It ended and we went directly to our countries, he to Sweden and I to Portugal.
‘At the farewell we hugged, we leaned our heads and didn’t even need to talk to each other.
‘We stayed there for those two seconds hugging and we realised what we wanted to say to each other.’
Lindelof reportedly told midfielder Fernandes he was a ‘son of a b****’ in Portuguese
Lindelof, who spent five years with Benfica, appeared to be caught by television cameras telling Fernandes ‘f*** you’ followed by ‘Filho da Puta’ in Portuguese to his midfield team-mate – which translates as ‘son of a b****’.
Straight after the match, Fernandes played down the incident: ‘It is normal when you concede a goal, everyone was mad.
‘It was not about me or Victor, what happened is nothing. It was normal, it is about looking out for each other. It will happen in a lot more teams too.’
