Ederson was like Jekyll and Hyde.
Manchester City won 1-0 with Rodri’s final goal in the 2022-23 European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League final against Inter Milan held at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey on the 11th (Korean time), their first win and their first treble. embraced
The main contributor to the victory was Rodri, who scored the winning goal. Following a wonderful link between Manuel Akanzi and Bernardo Silva, he finished the ball with a cannonball shot, opening the goal for Inter, which Andre Onana held out.
Soccer professional statistical media also acknowledged that Rodri’s ball was the biggest. The pot mob gave Rodrie a rating of 8.3, and whoscored.com gave it a rating of 8.44.
But Couch Score was different. They gave Ederson a rating of 8.1. He did not turn away from the guardian spirit who saved Man City with a divine super save.
Ederson made five saves that day, all of which blocked shots from inside the penalty box. In particular, in the second half, he stopped all of Inter’s fierce pursuits, giving Manchester City their first Champions League title and first treble.
In fact, even in the first half and the beginning of the second half, Ederson looked somewhat untidy. He is a goalkeeper with excellent footwork and is the starting point of Manchester City’s build-up. But on this day, it wasn’t like that. A ridiculous pass gave Inter the right to attack in a dangerous area, and a mistake in communication with the defense led to the risk of conceding. Even manager Pep Guardiola showed regret at this appearance.
But after Rodri’s opening goal exploded, Ederson changed. In the 73rd minute of the second half, Romelu Lukaku’s decisive header was blocked, and just before the end of the game, Robin Gosens’ header was blown off to make a save. In addition, there was no intention of opening the goal of Man City, which Ederson kept, such as blocking a one-on-one situation with Lautaro Martinez.
If Ederson had conceded even one goal in Inter’s last-minute pursuit, Manchester City’s Champions League victory and treble would be difficult to guarantee. Both before and after Rodri’s goal, Manchester City seldom controlled the flow of the game. The central axis also collapsed due to the injury of Kevin the Bruyne.메이저사이트
That’s why Ederson’s super save was valuable. Especially at the end of the game, a series of super saves left a deep impression.
As mentioned earlier, Ederson showed the same appearance as ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ in just one game. However, at the last moment, he eventually returned to the line and protected Man City.
