“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.
