🎥 Ederson reminds us all why he could be a top class midfielder

Ederson rarely needs an excuse to get involved with play, so it wasn’t a surprise to see him come out of his box against Wolves on Monday night.

With Adama Traoré racing through, the Brazilian intercepted the ball and decided to play in defensive midfield with countryman Fernandinho.

You could maybe doubt his decision making at crucial moments but not his technique.

“I’m so pleased because he stays high,” Guardiola told reporters after the game. “The keeper has to defend our back four, and with the long balls he’s perfect.

“When he helps to do that, we play better, our midfielders get the ball in better conditions. We love Ederson the way he is, that’s why it’s not a problem.”

Never change.
