Watch: When Ederson made the day of a Brazil fan from Kerala

Manchester City and Brazil national team goalkeeper Ederson Moraes had a sweet surprise in store for an ardent Brazil fan from Kerala, India. The 27-year-old custodian joined a video to speak to Naheem, who is a fervent supporter of Brazil.

Ederson was holidaying in Dubai after a long season with Manchester and Brazil when he bumped into Naheem’s father Hussain. The father clicked a selfie with the Brazilian and then requested him to join a video call to his son back home in Kerala. To Hussain’s surprise, Ederson duly obliged the elderly gentleman and spoke to Naheem and his friends, who are based in Veliyankode in Malappuran district in Kerala.

Certainly, this gesture by the Brazilian goalkeeper won a lot of hearts in India.
