British media: Guardiola loses patience with Ederson after being eliminated from the Club World Cup, Manchester City will seek new goalkeeper

According to the Times, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has stopped being patient with Brazil's goalkeeper Ederson and has made suggestions to the club's board of directors that it needs to introduce a new goalkeeper. The "last straw" of this decision appeared in Manchester City's match against Riyadh Crescent on July 1. In this 120-minute match, Ederson was scored by his opponent in the whole game and only made 2 saves. In sharp contrast to him is opponent's goalkeeper Yasin Bunu, who contributed up to 10 wonderful saves and tried many times to ensure the goal was not lost, becoming the key figure in the team's victory. After the game, Ederson's performance quickly sparked heated discussions, and discussions about him on social media remained high. Many Manchester City fans expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Brazilian goalkeeper's condition and stability.

In fact, this is not the first time Ederson has "fallen out" in this Club World Cup. As early as June 27, he gave it to his opponent player Turne Copminas for a pass error outside the penalty area, causing his goal to concede, which attracted widespread criticism.

Although Ederson publicly stated that he still loves Manchester City and hopes to stay in the club for a long time, his personal will cannot guarantee his future at the Etihad Stadium. Especially when his condition is fluctuating and frequent low-level mistakes, Guardiola obviously no longer regards him as his first choice.

Manchester City is reportedly watching several excellent goalkeepers, including Porto's Diogo Costa and Barcelona's Ter Stegen. Manchester City may officially open the goalkeeper's replacement plan in the next few weeks.
