Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson
Manchester City was eliminated by Real Madrid 4:3 in the penalty shootout, but Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson was definitely the best on the field, he can no longer do very well, why is he the only Manchester City player who can face the fans with his head held high?
Three reasons:
Rodrygo's first goal was met by a brilliant save from Ederson
1. Returned to the starting line after a month of injury, although there was 1 goal conceded in regular time, but Rodrigo's goal was actually a miracle he had already made a miracle and blocked Rodrigo's first shot, but the defender did not follow the defense organization Rodrigo's follow-up shot in time, and Xiao Luo's second follow-up shot was too close to the goal, and the gods couldn't help it!
Ederson judged correctly to save the Magic Flute's penalty
2. In the penalty shootout, the judgment was correct to save Modric's penalty, the quality of Modric's penalty is not bad, and the angle strength is okay, but Ederson's landing is too fast, and he also judged the right direction, after this penalty was saved, Manchester City led 1:0 in the penalty shootout, making a good start for Manchester City, and it can be said that the balance of victory has tilted towards Manchester City.
Ederson took the penalty himself, and the quality was very high!
3. As a goalkeeper to take the penalty in person, the quality is actually the highest among the 5 penalty kicks, here are two questions, why the other Manchester City players dare not go up to take the penalty, to let a goalkeeper to take the penalty?
Ederson not only did his job of defense, and played brilliantly in the penalty shootout in regular time, but also bravely took on the penalty duties outside of the goalkeeper's own job, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him on the night of Manchester City's exit!
Here I have to criticize Guardiola, when Ancelotti focused on practicing penalties, he didn't have a penalty shootout plan at all, he could only say that he was too confident!
