Fans grossed out as Ederson reveals his bizarre superstition at Man City
Footballers are renowne for being a superstitious bunch, repeating habits they believe have brought them good luck in previous successes.
Former Chelsea captain John Terry, for instance, โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที claime to have numerous rituals throughout his career, from sitting in one spot on the team coach to listening to the same Usher album over and over again.
Before him, legendary ex-England striker Gary Lineker was known to swap his shirt at. Half-time if he had failed to find the net in the opening 45 minutes of games.
But Ederson has made fans feel rather queasy after revealing his own unique routine, one he has somehow maintaine throughout his long reign Manchester City’s number one.
Despite being known for clean sheets, Ederson, speaking to Shay Given for the Football Focus programme, explaine how. He had wearing the same pair of boxer shorts on matchdays for the last EIGHT YEARS.
If what Ederson says is correct, that’s 363 games, stretching way back to August 12, 2017, when the Brazilian made his City first-team debut in a 2-0 victory away to Brighton in the Premier League. Ew.
‘I have only one superstition. I play every game in the same boxers. Eight years, the same boxers,’ the City goalkeeper said.
Ederson’s knackere old pants will get their 364th run out when City travel to. Old Trafford for what promises to be an intriguing Manchester derby this weekend.
The six-time Premier League winner will hope his boxers bring him better fortunes than they have done for much of the campaign, with Pep Guardiola’s men at risk of missing out on Champions League qualification this season.
‘We must work more,’ Ederson told before the recent international break.
‘We must give our best every day, every season and give everything until good moments come.
‘Of course, sometimes it’s different but the most important thing is you give everything, every day in training.’
Ederson has less than 18 months remaining on his current deal at the Etihad and talks over a possible extension have so far come to nothing.
The former Benfica star has linke with a move to the Saudi Pro League for some time, but City will only listen to offers if the player makes it clear he wants to leave in the summer.
