Fabio Carvalho joined the Reds from Fulham this summer.
What did Fabio Carvalho say?
The Reds’ newcomer has disapproved of the nickname given to him by his teammates after the Portuguese arrived at the club at the start of the summer. As per club tradition, whenever a new signing enters the squad, Fabio Carvalho must go through an initiation night organized by colleagues. It was before his initiation that the player was given the nickname Bruno Mars. Fabio Carvalho hopes the moniker won’t stick around despite initially playing along.
Fabio Carvalho revealed that on the traditional night of initiation, the player sang Bruno Mars’ number, likening the singer to his new teammates. “We had a few days where we went to a restaurant for food and then there was a dedication with songs for the new guys, which brought us closer, especially for me, since I had to sing, and so the guys just laughed and joked,” the Portuguese footballer told the club’s official website.
Fabio Carvalho continued: “Things like that just bring the group together, even the young players that came with us. It just brings everyone closer. According to Fabio Carvalho, when he first got his nickname from the guys it was Bruno Mars, which he now said no to! To stick with this little joke, Fabio sang Bruno Mars’ Lazy song. Everything was OK!
Fabio talks about Harvey Elliott
With the Portuguese joining Liverpool this summer, he managed to reunite with his former Fulham teammate Harvey Elliott, who signed for the club in 2019. Fabio Carvalho also revealed that not only are he and Harvey ex-colleagues, but they also went to the same school and their friendship has come a long way back.
Fabio Carvalho said: “It hurt! “We played for the same team, but we also went to the same school, which some people may not know. “So we’ve been strong for a few years now, from a young age. According to the Portuguese, it’s good to be back with him and it’s good to play football with him because that’s what he really likes. Fabio Carvalho says Harvey Elliott is the best player .
