In an interview with Silas, the Brazilian footballer Bruno Fernandes was compared to Paul Scholes, adding, "Bruno is a very difficult player to contain." In contrast to Messi, he doesn't dribble around you like the Barcelona superstar does. Whenever you aren't looking for Bruno, he might be really hazardous. When the ball falls to him on the wings and there is no one in front of him, he strikes the ball really hard. With the right, with the left, with the right. It makes me think of [Paul] Scholes."

According to Sport Witness, this occurred when Marca was speaking with him. It is not a positional comparison because Fernandes and Scholes play quite different positions in midfield, hence it is not a positional comparison. There is a lot to like about how they play and make it hard to stop.

Despite the fact that, as Silas pointed out, Fernandes is unlikely to dribble past five defenders and score, he will be able to pop up in spots where defenders are not expecting him. The fact that he is not active in every facet of the game does not preclude him from scoring or providing an assist when the situation calls for it.

In spite of the fact that Fernandes frequently receives criticism for attempting to do too much during games, his numbers speak for themselves. It is only because he is attempting to make something happen that he is losing control of the ball to an unacceptable degree.
