As 5 profecias.
Apelidado de profeta por ser evangélico e sempre citar trechos bíblicos nas entrevistas, Hernanes topou uma brincadeira: a seguir, o craque faz algumas previsões para o Ano Novo...
Quem ganha o Campeonato Italiano?
Vou dizer o seguinte: Nós (Lazio) estaremos felizes.
São Paulo ganha o Paulista, a Copa do Brasil, o Brasileiro, a Sul-Americana ou os quatro?
Vai ganhar o Paulista e a Copa do Brasil.
Qual será a sorte do Brasil na Copa América?
Brasil campeão com certeza com o Hernanes em campo.
O Brasil conquista uma das duas vagas para os Jogos de Londres no Pré-Olímpico?
Consegue.
Hernanes continua na Lazio ou sai depois do sucesso?
Aí acabou a energia do profeta (risos).

And the boy became king of Rome wit. Born in Recife, but brought up to 5 years in a village in Pernambuco State a town little bigger than two football fields set according to the player himself, Anderson Hernanes Viana de Carvalho Lima, 25, is a magical moment in his career.
Hired in the middle of the year by Lazio midfielder is by far the best Brazilian player in activity in Europe. But Mano Menezes does not understand that. Forgotten in the last two convocations of the Brazilian team, former Sao Paulo player saw the booking of Italy AC Milan Ronaldinho hold the friendly against Argentina in Qatar.
In interview after 28 minutes given by telephone from Rome, Superesportes, Hernanes explains why it became a question mark on the head not only of Man, but any coach, promises to conquer your space with Hopscotch and make up prophecies for 2011.
Let me start by asking a question that all of Brazil is made: for you neither holds the national team? Ronaldinho was the holder against Argentina and you never was drafted.
I was called twice with the Mano (Menezes) and steering wheel. Then I started to play a position (centered as half midfielder means, sweeper midfielder) a little different than he was accustomed to seeing. I think he was a little confusing to me that position to call or not. When this becomes clear in his head, and we can talk, think I'll get my space. But I will continue my work and hope my chance to appear.
You feel more comfortable acting as a sweeper midfielder or half midfielder?
I have a lot of time playing at back midfielder (sweeper), so for me it is comfortable playing that position. But I've grown. After having worked in various positions, missing only enhance the play back to goal. I lost my fear of playing back, this fear that I'd mess. Now, I'm quite comfortable. If the coach get to me and says, "Plays a little bit ago," I'll sit in marking the stick and get ahead. In one game or another we can not play our best football, but I am happy to play when the coach needs a little ahead or a little behind as he wishes.
I imagine that someday the Mano Menezes will use a 4-2-3-1 formation in, with Lucas and Hernanes as sweepers, Kaka, Goose and Neymar in a row of three and a duck in front ( attacking midfielders). It is good for you? (Laughter)
I think the team's Copa America will be that ... (Laughs). No, not there, I can not climb (laughs). I being on the team will be exceptional (laughs).
You trained with the new generation of selection for the friendly against the USA and later in Barcelona. What is the potential of this group?
It is a very strong group, which has everything to reach the finals at the apex. They are players of great quality and I believe the squad is on the right path.
Who impressed you most? Neymar, Goose, Coutinho?
The three players have great quality. Each has its own characteristics and talent. The three left great impression.
The current squad is more talented than the Cup, for example?
It is difficult to make that comparison. I believe the World Cup group also had quality players and that made a difference. In the game against Holland things did not work the second time. I believe that the group was very good too.
Why is so quick to adapt to Italy?
I waited to leave Brazil at the right time, when ready, ripe for new challenges. God blessed me to choose the right time.
When, we do not do things by force, but by inspiration, enlightenment, things fit together. Andre Dias gave me a very great strength. I always say this because he made the midfield. The people received me very well, both the team and the board, the coaching staff, the crowd, everyone made me very comfortable at home. This combination made me play my best football.
The other day I saw you gave a press conference in Italian.
Already know everything?
I always liked learning new languages. Now I've joined the hunger with the desire to eat. I was class three times a week so it gave me a good foundation. Now is learning day by day. The language is easy, so that helps.
How to you have come out of Mill (EP), place a little bigger than two football fields, to shine in the historic Roman Empire in Europe, in the center of world football?
(Silence). It's true. When I stop to think about it, I see the Mill (District of São Lourenço da Mata), those streets ... I barefoot in the middle of sugar cane. I look up and thank God. It all happened so fast that it is a spectacular thing. It gives pride. It's beautiful. I'm glad.
You're excited ...
We, not me. Not, only me, but my family. It was the result of communication, interaction, love to everyone, friends, cool it.
It was there in Plantation you learned to kick with both legs?
My father always encouraged it since childhood. Never miss official ball left at home. He could not see an official ball he bought. That was it. He always encouraged. Then I wanted to be a lefty. I already knew how to kick from the right, started doing everything with his left.
To what extent the fact of being a wildcard hindered your trip to the World Cup? Will Dunga was also confusing as the Mano and did not find its place in the team?
Until that moment there I was well defined. I was driving it. What I did not like driving unlearned. Can I do it all again. Just added, possibilities.
Dunga gave an interview in Italy and asked if you were the new Kaka. He said you're more for Pirlo. Do you agree?
I am happy with these comparisons, but each player has his style, such as runs, hits the ball as he walks, is very individual. But between Pirlo and Kaka I would be more for Pirlo. I say: when I played the game for me guys were monsters. I said there goes the monster, the monster looks because these guys are no longer human, they passed that level, that stage.
What are the differences between the football played in Italy and Brazil?
Here they use much force. The guys take you out of play with the hand, you pull and the judge does not lack. Here we use too much force physical training in the game. So I figured it out. They use very technical, but much more strength. Moreover, it works much the strategies, tactics. It is very instructive.
How was your first contact with the coach Edoardo Reja?
He knew me. From the conversations I had with it was clear that he had seen me play. He talked to me, did some tests and it was cool. It is a grade 10 guy, who helped me, trusted me and was very important in my adapted here
Be expected with four goals in 14 games for Lazio?
It's interesting how I've evolved. Since, I started playing professionally when I scored a few goals a year. If you count the 10 goals that I did in Sao Paulo rose to 14 goals in one year. I had never done it. So this is an evolution. But I am never happy, I always want more and better in 2011.
The performance against Inter was his best for Lazio?
Yes, yes, yes. I took part of moves to score, missed little, finished off two other times dangerously. He was against Inter, a great team in world football.
Brazil is living the era of the wheels in Europe? You from Lazio, Lucas (Liverpool), Sandro (Tottenham), Ramirez (Chelsea), Simplicio (Rome).
It's true. I am realizing that football is no longer a part only. Previously, the phenomeno were who? An attacker, one tip, one midfielder, or complete as Messi, Maradona, Pele, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo. There was one player that the ball came near him and he decided. This is football individual. The guy was there and did just that. He hoped the ball and get it solved the parade. But football has changed, became more complete.
The guy can not just be the one that defines it. See Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, there are guys that mark behind, make the team play and sufficient to complete the front. Football is turning into something more complete. The player now has to do a little of everything. Without the ball, all brands, but with her every attack.
Projection that you do for your career?
I want to seize this moment. I'm very happy. My goal is to return to the nearest squad, to be convened and conquer my space. That's what I got today in my head, the rest we'll administering.
You got upset not to be named to face Argentina?
This word, bored does not exist in my vocabulary. If I could not achieve what is not the fault of Man, not anyone's fault or the fault of Lula, Dilma or. It was mine. I like to think so. If, I was not summoned'll do anything to earn my place. Are we doing our history. I wanted to be there. It was an important game, but will have to wait.
Ronaldo recently used the example of Italy's players' union to encourage Brazilians to demand respect on issues such as calendar, holidays and even praised strike. Alright?
Not only is the players union strong. Worker is respected here. Here, for example, from 14h to 16h nothing works. Everything is closed. Eight hours of work are eight hours and ready. Then we could really imitate. There can be no slavery is over. In soccer is no different.
As you saw the conquest of Muricy Ramalho Fluminense ahead?
It's an amazing guy, exceptional, just a leader. Lead the group knows the triumph, knows to extract the maximum from every player and deserves this success. I'm happy with the talent of people but I prefer to observe the character. He is a man of character.
You are very religious. Agrees with the pastor to veto the merger of the Selection and religious expression in the conclusion of goal?
Our struggle is not against people. We have to be subject to the authorities. That is what the Bible teaches. There is no authority placed somewhere without the permission of God. I always played with my shirt underneath and was happy to pass on what I believed. I will now have to be creative to think the message in another way.
