Man City keeper Ederson: No way will I change

Manchester City shot stopper Ederson has no intention of changing his style of play.

The Brazilian is known for taking risks on the ball and often coming high off his line to stop attacks.

Despite generally having control over his actions and helping the team, Ederson can make high profile howlers as well.

"Whether it is anticipating a certain play or reading a particular type of pass or save, concentration is a big factor in my game," he told Sky Sports.

"I have worked really hard on that and I am still working on that today to keep improving so that I can foresee those moments in matches. It is definitely something we practice a lot.

"What we do in training games is that we get our goalkeepers to play on a very high line. That way, we replicate teams who press high against us. But also, by playing this high line, 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 cannot be scared of coming out and stopping those kind of plays."
