Fernandinho is confident he and Fernando can share the midfield load at Manchester City.
He may a face a battle with compatriot Fernando for a starting place.
"That doesn't matter," said Fernandinho. "If he plays one game, I can play another, and sometimes we can play together."
The Brazilians did not know each other before Fernando's arrival but have hit it off. Fernandinho added: "We have worked and lived together and done things socially. I told him to find a house near me. He is like me, calm and quiet."
