Manchester City goalkeeper rewrites Premier League history, Ederson becomes league goalkeeper assist king

On February 16, in the focus match of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Newcastle 4-0 . One of the highlights of the game was not only the team's victory, but goalkeeper Ederson once again demonstrated his accurate long pass ability, sending an assist to help new signing Marmoushi score his first goal in Manchester City's career. This assist not only helped the team take the lead, but also allowed Ederson to successfully rewrite the history of the Premier League and become the goalkeeper with the most assists in the league .

Ederson's footwork has always been a highlight of Manchester City's tactical system, and he once again proved his unique value with practical actions in this game. In the 10th minute of the game, Ederson sent a precise long pass directly into his own penalty area, and the ball accurately found Marmus in the frontcourt. The latter calmly shot and scored, helping Manchester City take the lead early. This assist was Ederson's sixth assist in the Premier League, officially surpassing other goalkeepers to become the goalkeeper with the most assists in the history of the Premier League.

In fact, Ederson's assist ability is not accidental. In the match against a certain team on October 22 last year, he had sent out a similar precise pass, assisting Haaland to score and helping the team open up the situation. In the match against Newcastle, his precise pass once again became an important part of Manchester City's tactical system that cannot be ignored.

Since Guardiola took over as the coach of Manchester City, his requirements for goalkeepers have not only stayed at the traditional save level, but also emphasized the role of goalkeepers in organizing offense. As Manchester City's starting goalkeeper, Ederson is the perfect executor of this concept. He not only has excellent goal-line skills, but also has excellent passing ability at his feet, and can directly assist the striker in the backcourt.

This season, Ederson's passing performance is particularly eye-catching. His long pass success rate ranks among the top among Premier League goalkeepers, and he has directly created many scoring opportunities. This assist once again proved his tactical value and helped him further consolidate his leading position in the Premier League assists list.

Before this assist, Ederson had contributed 5 assists in the Premier League, leading other goalkeepers. The sixth assist allowed him to completely leave his opponents behind and become the assist king of Premier League goalkeepers. This achievement not only reflects his personal ability, but also highlights the success of Manchester City's tactical system.

Although Ederson's goal-line skills are occasionally questioned, his footwork, vision and accurate passing ability make him an indispensable part of Guardiola's system. In the context of modern football increasingly emphasizing the goalkeeper's passing ability, Ederson is undoubtedly one of the most representative "offensive" goalkeepers.
