Episode Details

Enzo Fernández has taken almost no time to make his presence felt at Manchester City.

After City went down to ten men in the Manchester derby, Henry Winter was struck by the Argentine’s response. His aggression, control and ability to take responsibility made him look, in Henry’s words, like he was playing as two men.

Tim Vickery and Henry discuss why Fernández could be exactly what Manchester City need in their rebuilt midfield, Elliot Anderson’s rise and the controversial Erling Haaland winner at Old Trafford.

Before Manchester, the conversation starts in Venice.

Henry was at Venezia against Fiorentina to watch Franco Mastantuono score a hat-trick. Tim explains why the 19-year-old’s loan from Real Madrid could be a crucial moment in his development, why young South American players can lose momentum in Europe and why Mastantuono may eventually have to change position to fulfil his potential.

They also discuss the changing power structure of South American football, Flamengo’s growing pull, the golden age of British football fanzines, whether journalists have become disconnected from supporters and whether modern football fandom has become more tribal.

Plus, Luka Modrić’s obsession with analysing his own performances, Bruno Guimarães working on how he reacts to mistakes, Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo’s support teams, and why longevity at the top rarely happens by accident.

This is Futebol & Football with Tim Vickery & Henry Winter on FC Camisa.
