Ederson claims Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola thinks about '1,000 things at the same time'

Manchester City star keeper Ederson has reflected on his time at the Etihad club, particularly praising the work Pep Guardiola has done to improve the players in the squad. 

The Brazilian international is now in his sixth season as Manchester City shot-stopper, after signing from Benfica for a reported fee of £30 million back in 2017. 

In the subsequent years, the 29-year-old has racked up a staggering trophy haul including four Premier League titles and three Golden Glove awards. 

But speaking in a recent interview with the club, Ederson sang the praises of his manager, Pep Guardiola, and the work he has done at the club to elevate the players and team to the next level. 

“Pep (Guardiola) is a phenomenal manager, as he has shown during all his career,” Ederson said.

“I don't know what is going through his head, but he is thinking about 1,000 things at the same time, and he manages to implement them into our team.”

Ederson continued, “You can tell from the way we play since he arrived, he completely changed the way we play in this club.

"He is very intense, he works really hard and he lives football 24/7.”

Along with his lauding of the Manchester City boss, Ederson was quick to rave about midfield star Kevin De Bruyne, who recently celebrated seven years since signing for the Premier League champions from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg. 

In the time since joining the club, De Bruyne has cemented himself as one of the best midfielders on the planet, and Ederson was not shy in praising him. 

“It's easy to talk about Kevin.

"He can find passes where there is no space. He is an extraordinary player,” Ederson stated.

"He has always had great consistency, he helps the team a lot. He was a great signing for Manchester City.

“He is one of the best players I have ever played with. I hope he can keep the same level he has now for many more years with us.”

The Manchester City keeper and his teammates are off to a flying start in the young Premier League season, winning four out of their first five games, finding themselves sitting in second place as they hunt down a staggering third consecutive league title.
