More about Fernando Couto
Fernando Couto is a veteran defender with plenty of international (Portugal) as well as club experience. Couto is a good header of the ball, and is generally to be found in the area when a corner is awarded to Lazio. His reliance on his head can be alarming to fans when he's back in his defensive role, but it makes him
an entertaining player to watch. During a suspension for doping, Couto was invited into the Curva by fans, and watched with them from the terraces.
