Since signing for Benfica at the end of September last year, for 68 million euros, Rúben Dias has not stopped impressing at Manchester City, where he has already played 47 games this season.
The figures support the impact of the young Portuguese defender on the team coached by Pep Guardiola. In the Premier League, for example, in the 29 games before Rúben Dias arrived, citizens conceded 31 goals. In the next 29 games they only suffered 16.
The center’s concentration and anticipatory power are attributes that have been highlighted several times by the Spanish coach himself, and the Daily Mail newspaper cites another Portuguese player to highlight Rúben Dias’ work capacity. «The only player we have seen so much in the training of the National Team is Cristiano Ronaldo», he mentions, without mentioning his name, even leaving the guarantee: «He [Rúben Dias] will be the next Manchester City captain. »
