Ederson Masterclass | Risk And Reward As A Sweeper Keeper | Manchester City

Ederson here This is my masterclass Let's go Ederson denied the goal What are they doing Pass to Maurice Maurice passes The fraction of a thousandth triggers the exit or the return This is very human Let's start with a quote from Cruyff He said that his team's first striker is the goalkeeper and the first defender is the striker He is completely right about what he said Because the team starts attacking with the goalkeeper Be a short medium or long game output Or to break a pressure line And the first defense is the attacker Surely if a pressure fails ahead sometimes it can burst behind Then that sentence he got right and it really reflects in our way of playing This is the map of the Premier League's operations this year Today the goalkeeper has to position himself differently to help In Guardiola's game you help with building the play Yes definitely Whether you receive a pass depends on how you receive the pass Because sometimes the pass comes and you have to control the ball already seeing the solution for the pass Many times I have passed I only saw Voutinho passing and realized that was the free man It's clear that you have to be patient because you can't be nervous Because sometimes it can result in a goal What happened yesterday for example was my mistake I made a bad pass to the goal and ended up scoring a goal This is also the risk we take when playing this way It was calm in the game That's why I didn't change my way of playing I looked for the steps and better alternatives for our team Then that doesn't really affect my head much Of course I get upset for making a mistake Especially because it resulted in a goal But I think the most important thing is the team The most important thing is to have a good mind Now mainly I already know how to handle certain situations much better So I knew how to handle this situation very well I just wanted to put a little something But my wife told me to write something I ended up writing it I didn't think about it it came out naturally The risk and the reward are walking the same line Any moment you jump off one side you'll burst This happens it's part of it These are the game involvements that end in a goal Seven goal participations Today do you think the goalkeeper has this extra responsibility Participating really I don't think he's obligated to It has a very big influence on the team This reflects Being able to participate with the team in the buildup is very important it's very good And sometimes it ends up resulting in these goals I have seven This shows that sometimes it's worth having several alternatives throughout the course of the game I think that we the goalkeepers here have a fundamental role Not just me but also Steph and Scott We have fundamental roles in the build-up providing a passing line releasing a high pressure a medium pressure I think we are very influential in our team What is the decision-making process for you leaving the goal Because it's either go or split right That's true It also depends a lot right Usually I try to move out more when the balls are more central here But when it's very wide like that the risk is much higher So automatically when the defense line goes up the line also has to go up a little more to avoid such a big gap you know It also depends on the game we play the team and the stadium Because sometimes there are some fields where the grass ends up drying out either because of the wind Then the ball ends up bouncing and stopping Then that makes our decision much more difficult But there it's a thousandth of a second of pressure for you to pull the trigger to go out or come back Then it's a concentration game that has to be very big It's very difficult to train these movements But usually when we do the tactic there I always try to stay higher up as well for the possible SFM I always try to position myself a bit higher as well But that's a decision a decision made on the field This is something that doesn't train much but it's your decision on the field There are many goalkeepers who play high and many who play lower They play more in the safe zone You have a 52% success rate on long passes How do you catch the ball How is it Well many times I try to put power on the ball and it doesn't end up coming out So there I go more with the movement It's the only way right The ball goes with force But I just use the movement of the leg the swing of the leg I add more movement without applying too much power Because most of the time when I try to put power into the kick The ball doesn't come out the way I want it to So when I catch it just in motion it already comes out and goes in the right direction Then I think it's more about method than force in my case You started with a move and then decided to make a long pass There at Brighton they were pressing man-to-man And with the line very high So there was an absurd distance Because their defensive line was in the midfield So the space ends up being larger between the defense and the goalkeeper Then this type of pass is much better to take on the back as it has a higher chance of creating a scoring opportunity Then when the team scores lower it's harder for this type of pass Now when the team scores high it ends up being more possible more accessible for me What a leap from Edison He didn't have much time to react but he reacted superbly It is very rewarding Whether it's a clean sheet a number of wins a Golden Glove or a title It's always memorable Then I hope to continue the work to increase this percentage even more
