2025-04-22
On April 22nd, Beijing time, Manchester City defender Ruben Dias admitted in a recent interview that the race for the top four in the Premier League this season is unprecedentedly fierce, but the team has adjusted its state to meet the challenges.
The Portuguese centre-back said that he and the team would face competitive pressure directly. He said, "This will be a battle of willpower, and ultimately it depends on who is more eager for victory." Although the process is difficult, we are ready to do our utmost for the qualification of the Champions League.
In many respects, we are not at our peak now, but while learning from our mistakes, we are looking forward to the future. In my first four years, we won the Premier League title, but I'm still looking forward to this season because we are the first club in history to win the Premier League title four times in a row. Just this alone is enough to show that achieving this is no easy feat, let alone winning the championship four times in a row. We accept the situation this year.
We felt great after the game against Everton. That was a very tough game. We knew it would be very difficult. Few teams can win there, especially at this time. Every point is very important to us.
