Ederson: Anshuai brought a winning mentality to Brazil and needed a new challenge, so he left Manchester City

Fenerbahce goalkeeper Ederson returned and was selected for the current Brazilian national team roster. In an interview with the Brazilian media "UOL", Ederson talked about cooperation with Anshuai and leaving Manchester City.

Talk about Ancelotti

"I have worked with Guardiola, one of the best coaches in the world. When you have a coach as influential as Ancelotti, who has won every possible title in Europe, you should not close the door."

"I think a name like Ancelotti will bring a lot to the Brazilian national team, especially at the stage the national team is currently in. I feel that a name with weight can bring a lot. Different."

"He brings a winner's mentality to the players. Although I haven't had much contact with him in the past two days, I can already feel it. To bring his experience, his mentality as a champion and all the honors he has won in the club is very important, especially for young players."

On injuries and this call-up

"Injury is never easy, right? It can happen. Unfortunately, my injuries always happen before the international break. Of course I am frustrated, but it only strengthens my desire to be here, to participate, to give my best and try to play in the World Cup again. I don't know if I will be a main player in all the games that I am called up, but my effort and dedication will be the same, and the goal is to bring the Brazilian team back to the highest level."

About the move to Türkiye

{4.} "Every cycle comes to an end. Players come and go, clubs stay forever. My situation was no exception. I spent 8 wonderful years at Manchester City, winning 18 titles. But I needed this change. I needed new air, new challenges. So when the opportunity for Fenerbahce came up, I took it and kept the same attitude. I continued to work hard on the field, as I did at Manchester City, and also to train with my fitness coach. My mentality has never changed, nothing Whether it’s at Benfica, Manchester City or now hopefully at Fenerbahce, I want to win.”

“I also talked to several Brazilian players who played at Fenerbahce, and they also spoke highly of the club, the city, the culture and the climate. These have helped me adapt faster. I really like this new challenge, new country, new league, new culture, and there is a lot to explore. Istanbul is a wonderful city, and Turkish people love sports very much, whether it is football. , basketball or volleyball, they are all very enthusiastic, which makes me feel a new atmosphere, which is completely different from what I have experienced in the past few years. "

About the period of being away from the national team

"This period of time away from the national team has really made me full of expectations and a little anxious about returning, but I am also very happy to come back again. I am very happy to get this opportunity again, and I hope to meet everyone's expectations in training. Everyone’s expectations. We have a very good team with a lot of good players, and we just need a little more time to adapt to the coach’s tactical philosophy. So, I see him giving a lot of players opportunities in every call-up, which is a good thing. Although it is a bit risky to try people when the World Cup is approaching, I also see the positive side of Ancelotti’s training methods

Small-scale confrontation training is often arranged, requiring players to think quickly and shoot the ball with one or two kicks. I participated in a ball-handling training yesterday, and I saw that he emphasized ball control and aggression. When defending, everyone must participate together and quickly return to defense. It is these details that create a great team and a great national team. With this mentality, he will definitely be able to implement everything he wants and make the Brazilian team shine again.

"Well, I still lack to win the World Cup with the Brazilian team. There is also the Turkish League Championship, which is also a new challenge in my career. I think I have achieved it very much, and I have won a lot of things I dreamed of in my career. I know that many times people only see the bright side of you, but don't know how much sacrifice you have made for it. We gave up a lot of things. Of course, when you stand at the top, everything is beautiful, finish Entering high school and living a good life, but the process you go through is very difficult and complicated. I train twice a day, in the morning and with my fitness coach. It is these details that make you go further. So, I hope that through hard work and dedication, I can go to the World Cup again. Of course, it depends on the coach, but I will give my best in training."

Why leave Manchester City?

"In fact, I tried to leave the previous season, but failed. This affected my performance in that season to some extent, because I experienced five injuries at the time and was not in the best condition. So my family and I made a decision long ago. If the club agrees, I will transfer. Because I need a new challenge. If I stay in a winning club and a wealthy club but am unhappy, that will only It will continue to affect me. So sometimes, new challenges bring new energy and positive things to your life and career. For me, this transfer has rediscovered my passion for football. I am very happy and eager to win in Turkey. Fenerbahce has not won the domestic league championship for a long time, and I hope to help the team return to the top."
