The next big thing is coming from Brazil and is set on his way to become better than Neymar, according to Football Manager 2014. Bernard, young Brazilian wonderkid that is currently playing at Ukraine's champion Shakhtar is one of the games best prospects, no doubt about it.
With his starting attributes, Bernard could easily make an immediate impact at any Premier League side. He has got it all, technical attributes such as; Dribbling, Finishing, Long Shots, Passing, Technique, to mental ones, such as; Decisions, Flair, Teamwork, and finally physical ones; Acceleration and Pace. Bernard could easily be your key player at this young age.
What's even better, he is highly versatile, meaning he can play at all positions in the final third, even as a striker if you decide so. But we highly suggest you keep him to his natural position as advanced midfielder left as an inside forward.
Once fully developed and at the peak of his career, he is better than most players at this role, and by most we mean the likes as Ribery, Neymar, Bale, Hazard etc. His already top class attributes developed even further and are now at the world class level.
Unfortunately for all of you eyeballing Bernard and thinking of getting him for you club, we'll just say that Shakhtar are willing to sell their precious gem, but they won't even start any kind of negotiations if you don't offer £20M or more. Also you do not need to worry about his work permit, as he also possesses Spanish nationality.
Without a doubt, Bernard is definitely one of the best young players in Football Manager 2014. Only thing that might put most of the players off from transferring him to their clubs is the high transfer price, and to them we can only say, forget the price, this is one player no one should miss out on in FM 2014.
