Man City keeper Ederson tribute to Fernandinho and Guardiola

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has paid tribute to skipper Fernandinho.

Ederson says the veteran, off contract in June, is as important as ever for City.

He insists: "He has very strong leadership, he is a very important player, very experienced.

"He is more than a captain. He guides young players and helps us every day with our day-to-day work. He is a fundamental figure for our team."

On manager Pep Guardiola, the goalkeeper added: "He guides and advises both young and experienced players.

"At certain times some players may be relaxed a little bit, so he tells players to be focused for 90 minutes and always look for another goal - that's why he has a position of leadership and respect in the team."
