Fábio Carvalho on…

…RB Leipzig

• “I really like the way RB Leipzig play football and it fits my style too. I didn’t need long to think about my decision to come here. The club worked hard to sign me and that gave me a good feeling straight away.

  I have watched a lot of RBL games from last season. Leipzig is a perfect fit for me, that’s why I’m here.”

   

…Marco Rose and Jürgen Klopp

• “When I arrived in Leipzig, Marco told me that he used to play under Jürgen Klopp. My first impression of Marco has been really positive. He’s a great coach and a really nice person.

  He is helping me to get used to the new system. Although Liverpool and RB Leipzig play similar styles of football, they use different formations. We played with a 4-1-2-3 at Liverpool, compared to a 4-2-2-2 here.

  Both teams look to get forward quickly and put the opposition under pressure with their pressing. I’m confident that I’ll quickly learn everything I need to here.”

Fábio Carvalho on…

…his friends in the team

• “Benjamin Sesko has become a good friend in the short time I’ve been here. He’s funny and we push each other on. I get on really well with him. Nicolas Seiwald is a great guy too. Although we’ve only been training together for a short time, we already have a good connection out on the pitch.

  It’s important that we all get on well with each other off the pitch – that’s the only way we can be successful. The first few days in the training camp have been great, we’ve got a great group here.”
   

…his favourite position

• “I feel most comfortable as a number 10. The good thing here in Leipzig is that we often play with two players in this position. I can also play out wide. You can be more creative in the middle compared to out wide and that’s one real skill of mine.”
