A few days ago, Manchester City's new goalkeeper Trafford ended his holiday, returned to Etihad and accepted his first media interview after joining.
■ Regarding choosing to join Manchester City
Trafford, said: "This is crazy during this period. It has been almost two weeks since I joined the team. It feels great to come back here to meet everyone and re-adapt to training. These months have been wonderful and crazy."
"I really needed to make a decision at that time. I think Manchester City is the best choice in my career and I have confidence in myself. Manchester City is very suitable for me, so I chose it. They. I was not surprised when Manchester City came to me again. But I wouldn't think too far. When they came, my reaction was: 'Okay, no problem.'"
■Traveld's growth since leaving Manchester City to join Burnley two years ago is not only reflected in his height of 1.98 meters, but his return journey has not been smooth. Before Burnley's challenge, he was loaned to Ackerington and Bolton and has endured many tests.
Now that back to Etihad, Trafford's mission is not only to replace Ederson, but also to become the first youth training player to be repurchased and successful by Manchester City. He has overcome many challenges in his young career and does not intend to be intimidated by this goal.
Trafford said: "There will be pressure in any situation, but you have to enjoy it. Playing for Manchester City makes me very proud, but you won't always be immersed in it because you are always pursuing more. There is nothing guaranteed in life, you have to work hard every day."
"When I went to Ackerington at the age of 18, it was a completely different environment, but that's life. No matter what level, walking into a locker room of 20 strange teammates always makes people nervous. No matter where they are, players are players, and everyone can get along. Any new environment will make people feel nervous, no matter what your job is."
■Trafford was able to return to Manchester City because he was never defeated by the difficulties Ackerington had at the beginning, Bolton's questioning or the hard start of the Premier League at Burnley. He has always been focused, leading Burnley back to the Premier League, and has completed 29 clean sheets in 46 games and conceded only 14 goals, setting a new record.
's performance made him selected for Tuchel's England national team, and Guardiola also said last week that Trafford will be an important member of the national team for the next ten years. The same is true at Manchester City, and it's only a matter of time when Ederson's contract expires next summer.
Trafford knew that he had a lot of work to do, but since he had "goed home", his goal was to stay here for a long time and contribute to Manchester City and England.
Trafford said: "This is the goal, and if it is achieved, it would be great. I know I have to work hard every day because it is difficult to stay in the same place for ten years, let alone the best team in the world. I have been to many different environments, and the team plays and league positions are different, but I don't want it to change anything."
"I have been abandoned and started; I have performed well, and have experienced relegation and upgrades. I have gained a lot of experience, which has prepared me for the moment."
