In Lille's 5-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain last weekend, Lille captain and former Dalian Yifang player Fonte celebrated his 100th ligue 1 appearance. Recently, the 38-year-old Fonte was interviewed by Lille's official website, in which he talked about his feelings as captain of Lille, his relationship with his teammates and his expectations for the future.
Since captaining Lille, Fonte knows the responsibility he needs to take on the field, and all he has to do is lead the team forward: "When I put on the captain's armband, I have to take on everything I need as captain. I lead the fight on the pitch, I want to keep everyone focused at all times, I'm one of the experienced players on the pitch and it's imperative to do that. ”
Speaking about his relationship with his teammates, Fonte said: "I think I have a good communication with my teammates, especially the defenders and midfielders. Benjamin Andre is the real leader of the team, he is at the heart of the offensive and defensive transitions, and he is also a very communicative player. There's also striker Irmaz, an experienced player who brings energy to the team with his goals. ”
For a 38-year-old veteran, how long to have a career is a matter of concern to everyone, Fonte said: "At my age, I know what my body needs, I always improve and strengthen my physical condition by learning some of the latest theories, I will deal with rehabilitation, nutrition and pre-game and post-game training. Luckily, I haven't been seriously injured and I hope to be able to continue playing two or three seasons at this level. My teammate C Ronaldo in the national team is a good example, I will also learn from him, whether it is life or work, I want to extend my career as much as possible. ”
In the 2018 season, Dalian Yifang introduced Fonte from West Ham United in the Premier League, and started the first 6 league games fengte, and later due to the team's tactical adjustment, fengte's number of appearances was significantly reduced, and he played in Dalian for half a year and terminated his contract with the team. It is worth mentioning that after Dalian Yifang lost 0-8 to Shanghai SIPG in the first round, Fonte wrote two pages of A4 paper suggestions to the team, which was affectionately called "Feng Commissar" by Dalian fans. Since then, Fonte has played for Ligue 1 Lille and has reached two hundred milestones in representing Lille and Ligue 1.
