Unexpected. Ederson reveals strange matchday ritual he's followed for 8 years
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has confessed to a rather peculiar ritual he's adhered to for 8 years, ever since his arrival in England. In a conversation with Shay Given for Football Focus, the footballer revealed that he wears the same underwear on matchdays.
The Brazilian admitted that he always dons the same boxers for matches, which greatly surprised Given. At first, he didn't even understand what Ederson meant and clarified whether he wears the same pair throughout the entire season.
Ederson corrected him, stating that he consistently wears the same boxers for 8 years. After this revelation, a shocked Given remarked that they must not be in the best condition, then laughed along with the Brazilian.
It's worth noting that Ederson's superstition seems to be working, as during his time at the club, he has amassed a significant number of trophies, including the Champions League, 6 Premier League titles, 2 FA Cups, and 4 League Cups.
Let's recall that Ederson moved to Manchester in 2017 from Portugal's Benfica and has since firmly secured his position as the Citizens' first-choice goalkeeper.
