João Palhinha gave an extensive interview to this Sunday's edition of the British newspaper Daily Mail, in which he made a frankly positive assessment of the year and a half he has been at Fulham, where he is an undisputed starter, under the orders of Marco Silva.

The Portuguese international acquired, many years ago, the 'fame' of being a particularly aggressive player. However, he stressed that he does not play any kind of malice, although there are those who take advantage, as is the case of... his compatriot, Bruno Fernandes, to whom he took the opportunity to send a 'barb'.

"I remember Bruno, when we played against Manchester United, at home, in November. I saw a yellow card. I didn't touch him and he was screaming. It's normal for him. In the next play, I was following with the ball and he made an entrance", he began by saying.

"It wasn't a foul, but I also screamed, because he did the same. The referee called a foul, but didn't give him a yellow card. I laughed at Bruno. It's special, when it happens on the field. We're friends, so it's all good", he continued.

"The Portuguese players have a good relationship, even off the pitch. We keep in touch, and after the games, we always talk, in the locker rooms. This is also what football gives you", completed the former Sporting player.
