When training in Porto Alegre, due to the team boss's relationship, Fred also had the privilege of meeting his idol Ronaldinho. During that period, Ronaldinho had played in AC Milan and his state began toFIFA 18 Coins decline, but this did not prevent him from being the target of Fred's 16-year-old boy. In an interview with the media later, Fred said that he had madly searched for various game videos of Ronaldinho besides training and watched it day and night to imitate Ronaldinho's every move. Although Fred's talent was less than idol Ronaldinho, his focus on youth made him grow rapidly.

In 2010, 17-year-old Fred came to the Brazilian International Team and signed his first player contract. The competition for young talents in Brazil is extremely fierce. Fred's choice for Brazil’s international community can be described as an anticipation of security. He hopes that he can find opportunities in the environment where competition is not so fierce. The Brazilian International does not have the dazzling aura like Cruzeiro, Gremio and Sao Paulo. However, during that time, Fred really caught up with the good luck of a lifetime.
