"This season, out of three [penalties], I ended up missing two,"
"I don't want to miss any of them. It's something I need to study better. I'll always do it with full conviction because there's a coach who trusts me."
"Every day is a good day to settle scores. He was stronger. He did very well, and I didn't. But it's not something that affects my head. In a football team, there's something bigger than individuality. Winning is much more important than settling scores with the Irish goalkeeper."
"They're different things. Here, it's being at home, it's speaking Portuguese, it's eating Portuguese food. It makes me feel good. But I feel good in Manchester, I love the pressure. It means the goal is bigger, and I'm a person who enjoys challenges."
Bruno Fernandes missed two of three penalties this season, including attempts in a 1-1 draw at Fulham and a 3-1 defeat to Brentford, contributing to a difficult start in the Premier League. The missed spot kicks added pressure amid a poor campaign that followed a 15th-place finish and a Europa League final loss. Fernandes intends to study his penalty technique and will continue to take penalties with conviction, citing trust from the coach. He downplays personal revenge against Brentford's goalkeeper and says national-team duty and life in Portugal provide comfort, while he still enjoys the pressure and challenges at Manchester United.
