5 Ways how Guardiola can break the decade long hoodoo

#4 Ederson

Ederson

City invested heavily last season on their defence and goal-keeper. The arrival of Ederson has certainly boosted the confidence of the team to a large extent. Claudio Bravo looked fragile in his first season. He made quite a few mistakes and it costed Manchester City dearly.

Ederson personifies Guardiola's philosophy. He plays from the back, which Pep prefers and his distribution seems to be accurate. He will play a major role again this season if City are going to defend their title.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
