"I want to genuinely thank Reyer for this opportunity," Fernandez told Reyer's official club media. "I have the fire inside me, but only I know this and the fact that the club believes in me means so much. This trust pushes me to do the best for Venice; I could not find a better situation to come back to Italy and compete at the highest level. Given my particular situation, my real preparation to return to the court began on April 1: I am following a specific work program to arrive prepared for August 21. I have set myself important goals and it is an ambitious challenge, but my motivation is great."

"The Brazilian market has become very important to us because our experiences with the players from South America have been consistently positive," said Thorsten Leibenath, Ulm's sporting director. "Marcio plays with high energy on both ends of the floor, uses his athleticism to his advantage and can also stretch the floor thanks to his impressive three-point shooting. Due to his young age and potential, he fits our profile perfectly."
