Manchester City’s brilliant Brazilian goalkeeper, Ederson, has stated that he has no intention of changing his playing style despite a rare mistake that led to Tottenham’s opening goal in their recent match.
Despite the error, Ederson also made a crucial save later in the game and set up Riyad Mahrez‘s second goal in City’s thrilling 4-2 win over Tottenham.
Ederson, who is widely considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world, is an integral part of City’s calm and assured playing style. He acknowledges that there is always an element of risk associated with playing from the back against a high press, but he is not one to shy away from taking risks.
