CHAPTER 1 International career[edit]

Included in coach Dunga's 23-man squad for the 2015 Copa América in Chile, Fabinho made his
debut in a warm-up match against Mexico on 7 June of that year, as a half-time substitute for Danilo in
a 2–0 victory at Allianz Parque in São Paulo.[45] With Dani Alves playing the entire tournament at right-
back, Fabinho did not play at the Copa América, in which Brazil reached the quarter-finals. Fabinho
was selected for Brazil's Copa América Centenario squad,[46] although he did not play in any of Brazil's
three matches at the tournament.[citation needed]
In June 2021, he was included in Brazil's squad for the 2021 Copa América on home soil.[47]

CHAPTER 2 Style of play[edit]

Fabinho is regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, with Sky Sports pundit and
former Manchester United player Gary Neville saying, "Fabinho, for me, is the best."[48] He is a robust,
agile player who is valued for his ability to win back the ball in the midfield and recycle possession
quickly. His role as defensive midfielder sometimes requires him to drop further back to play as a third
centre-back to cover for Liverpool's fullbacks Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.[49] His
reading of the game is considered outstanding and has led to him being nicknamed 'The Lighthouse'
by Liverpool assistant coach Pepijn Lijnders and his teammates.[50]

CHAPTER 3 Personal life[edit]

Fabinho married Rebeca Tavares in 2015, having been together since 2013. [51] At Liverpool, he earned
himself the nickname, "The Hoover," because according to teammate Joe Gomez, "he cleans up
everything."[52]
