Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho is hoping Sunday signals the start of the greatest summer of his career. Fernandinho can cap a superb first season in the English game by helping City secure the Barclays Premier League title.City head into their final game against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium knowing that a draw should be good enough to clinch the crown.After that the Brazilian will hope to cement a place in his national squad for this summer's World Cup in his homeland after being named in Luiz Felipe Scolari's provisional party.Fernandinho learned of his initial call-up hours before helping City take top spot in the table with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday.The 29-year-old said: "It was a great day."Being called up for the Brazil World Cup squad was the news I'd been waiting for. A massive win makes it even better."Of course it's a big thing for me, but I cannot start thinking about it until after Sunday."That's when I may start to feel emotional about it."Maybe on Sunday night or Monday will be the time for me to celebrate my call up and the league title. For now I need to be calm and concentrate on Sunday's game. After that I can do anything."I hope it's going to be the best summer - one I will always remember."City's midweek victory took them two points clear of Liverpool at the top and they also have a significant goal difference in their favour.With Liverpool simultaneously playing Newcastle on Sunday the potential for a nervy finish is still there, but Fernandinho expects them to come through that situation.He said: "The whole squad is calm. Every training session is about doing what we do and keeping calm."Maybe there were a few nerves in the first half (against Villa) but in the second half we changed slightly the way we play - and scored four goals. That's great for us."In the next few days we'll be just the same, we'll keep calm and hope that we play a very good game on Sunday."Fernandinho has been a mainstay of the City side but has come off the bench in the last three games to manage a minor injury.He said: "I have a little problem with my leg, a small injury."So we've been trying to manage it so I play in the right situations."We'll see how we get on in the next few days and if I can start on Sunday."
