Ederson: “I definitely prefer making saves [to assisting goals]. That is what we put our best work towards. But I am really happy to make assists. It is not something that happens every day.
What we do in training games is we get our goalkeepers to play on a very high line. That way, we replicate teams who press high against us. But also, we can work on these decisions — whether you come off your line in the build-up…
I think sometimes to be a goalkeeper you need to be a bit crazy. But you can’t be scared of coming out and stopping those kind of plays… I always put myself into it with everything I have, even if I have to break every bone in my body, I’ll do it.
For me personally it’s been a good season, for the team as well. We’re still in three competitions, that’s really important. We’re capable of winning them all. In the EPL, we’re behind Arsenal but with a game in hand and a game against them at home…
In the UCL, we have a really difficult game against Bayern Munich, a good team with experience in the competition. In the FA Cup, we are facing a Sheffield United team that are having a really good season in the Championship…
But we’re still alive in those competitions and the team feels good. We started the season really well, had a little dip, but now it feels like we are back to our best. Keep that up and I think we have a really good chance in all three competitions.”
