Head coach of Manchester City Josep Guardiola praised the team's newcomer - Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson.

Ederson joined the ranks of Man City this summer, moving from Benfica for 35 million euros. The Brazilian will have to compete for a place at the base with Claudio Bravo.

While the Chilean rests after the Confederations Cup, Ederson has already shown himself. He kept the gate to the castle in a match with Tottenham, and in one of the episodes led Sergio Aguero 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper, but the Argentine struck the bar.

Guardiola believes that Ederson's punches from the gate can become a formidable weapon for his team, after they do not fix offside.

"When a rival uses high pressure, it's hard to play. Now we will have a chance to throw the ball into someone else's penalty area and this will give a little more space in the center of the field. Ederson created a great moment for Aguero, "- said Guardiola.

"When I coached Bayern, we played against Benfica and Ederson on the gate and he did this trick 4 or 5 times. We even tried to understand together what it was like. Ederson can finish off the ball to someone else's free kick, and it will not be offside. So you can disperse opponents and get more space in the center of the field ".

At the same time, Guardiola assured that Ederson is not yet guaranteed a place in the base and Claudio Bravo will still get his chance.
