Pep Guardiola Full of Praise for Ederson

Pep Guardiola is happy with Ederson. The manager in a recent interview gave his vies of Manchester City’s eccentric goal keeper.

Let’s see what he said-

“With his feet, he is the best,” he declared. “The quality of the pass, I would say, is the best.

“Manuel [Neuer] and Victor [Valdés] were incredible too but the quality of the pass (from Ederson) is the best.

“I would not say who is the best [overall] because I had success in the past with incredible ‘keepers in Victor, Manuel and Eddie.

“It is another example (of the recognition Ederson deserves) – he has credit from the manager, backroom staff and players. He’s outstanding and he knows it.

“But the players know: if you want credit and to be recognised, win games, win titles and you will get it.

“If you don’t win games and titles, you will not get it. It’s not more difficult than this.”

“We have clean sheets – the back four [on Saturday] were amazing.

“I am enjoying watching, of course. I want to finish the game with us having created more and conceded fewer [than the opposition].

“Football is a game where you can create more than the opponent and lose games. It’s the only sport it can happen – it doesn’t happen in basketball, tennis, golf…

“When you do that, you are closer to winning games. After that, you have to try to be good in the boxes.

“This year, we have made an incredible improvement. We don’t make mistakes. Always I believe – even as a teenager and at Barcelona – that you should create more.

“You have have the ball, pass the ball, run without the ball and be patient with the ball. You need to find the right moment.”

Wonderful words of encouragement not only for Ederson, but the entire squad. It’s a sight to behold when all things are clicking and firing on all cylinders.

Hopefully it can continue.
