"I'm a persistent person who knows to wait for my chance to come" - Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson about the Brazilian national team
While Ederson has been Manchester City's undisputed number one for a while now, he has found it hard to become a starter for the Brazil national team. Liverpool's Alisson Becker has been the Seleccao's first-choice goalkeeper.
However, Ederson is confident that his chance will come. He said that he has been in similar situations during his time at Portuguese clubs Rio Ave and Benfica. The goalkeeper said (via Liverpool Echo):
"I'm a persistent person who knows to wait for my chance to come. A similar scenario happened to me in Portugal, at Rio Ave, then at Benfica. Now it's happening with the Brazil national team, but that doesn't impact my work ethic or dedication."
Ederson added:
"Regardless of being a starter or not, I always practise as if I'll be in the starting XI and having the mindset that helped me to be ready when the opportunity came up at Rio Ave and Benfica. I have to be patient. It's down to the manager and the backroom staff to pick what team they think is best for each match."
Ederson has made 19 appearances for Brazil during his international career since making his debut in October 2017.
