If something happens during a match and you win, players become attached to that thing. They consider it auspicious and start doing the same thing again and again. From cricket to football, players in every sport have their own superstitions. One cricketer used to close all the toilet lids in the dressing room before the start of a match. He believed doing so would help him perform better. Something similar happened with a Brazilian footballer. His trick is currently in the news. He has been wearing the same underwear in every match for the last eight years. This trick belongs to Manchester City goalkeeper and Brazilian footballer Ederson. He revealed it in an interview last year. His video is still going viral.

In this interview, Ederson made several important revelations. He joined Manchester City in 2017. After that, he wore the same underwear for every match for eight consecutive years. He always used a different underwear. However, whenever a match was scheduled, he would enter the field wearing this special underwear. Remarkably, he achieved success in these matches and won several trophies.

He revealed this insider secret on BBC Match of the Day. "There's only one trick to my success. I wear the same underwear every match. I use that underwear only for that match." The interviewer was stunned by this revelation. He asked Ederson the next question, which took a turn: "You've been wearing the same underwear for the last eight years." That means the shape of that underwear must have deteriorated by now. Ederson replied with the same alacrity, "No," and burst out laughing.

How many matches has he played

Ederson has also played international matches. He made his debut against Chile in 2018, a match Brazil won 3-0. Ederson was also selected for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Brazil reached the quarter-finals, but Ederson only got a chance to play in one match during the entire tournament. He has played 31 matches for Brazil so far, while he has played 276 matches for Manchester City.
