“Ederson is No.1 and Stefan is No.2” – Guardiola Calls Ederson No.1 Goalkeeper in ManCity
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has firmly stated that Ederson is still his top-choice goalkeeper despite being dropped for the team’s recent 2-0 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield.
In that match, Guardiola opted for Stefan Ortega Moreno to take the spot in goal, a decision that sparked a bit of discussion among fans and analysts.
However, ahead of City’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest, Guardiola was quick to reaffirm Ederson’s position as the first-choice goalkeeper.
He explained that while Ortega’s performance may lead to continued appearances in future matches, Ederson remains the primary option.
Guardiola mentioned that Ederson took the decision in stride and responded positively to being left out of the starting XI for the Liverpool game.
Guardiola, who has worked closely with Ederson for many years, mentioned their strong relationship, saying, “We’ve known each other for eight or nine years.”
This long-standing connection between the two reflects the trust and understanding that has been built over time.
Despite the change, Guardiola made it clear that Ederson’s commitment to the team and his reaction to the situation only reinforced his importance within the squad.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
