Brandon Fernandes is part of India's new-look midfield offering that is paving way for a demand for possession-based football...
As Goa's 25-year-old talent Brandon Fernandes heads towards the peak of his professional football career, he is finding himself in a scenario where Indian football is going through a change.
India needs footballers who are technically sound. While the country is still years away from consistently producing such talents, in Brandon, FC Goa and the national team already has a midfielder of that mould. He can spot a teammate's run, he can pass and score the occasional goal as well - he has three goals and nine assists from 36 appearances in the ISL.
