Manchester City Players Won’t Give In To Complacency After Treble – Ruben Dias

Manchester City defender, Ruben Dias has come out to shut down complacency talk after his club’s historic treble win last season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, those who believe City players will just give up on their careers now that they have done the treble are very small-minded, because that will surely not be the case.

Dias then vowed to achieve even more at the club alongside his teammates once the season starts.

His words, “For you to think that is all I need to achieve, you need to be small-minded or not very ambitious. Obviously, you could think that your job is done, ‘oh I won the Champions League, now I can hang up my boots’. But with my career, even though it has been great so far, there is so much more to do.”

“Yes, last season was beautiful but it’s just one part. Yes, we won the Treble and it’s amazing, but there is a lot more to come. It’s ingrained in us. I have done it once and I can always do it twice, three times or four times. I want to make sure that my numbers will be good enough to be remembered for a while, if not forever.”

“One big thing at this club is to finally win the Champions League – that will mean less pressure. It’ll be something good for the team, pursuing the dream again. The pressure will come, there will be tense moments, but we’ve been there and done it. That works as an extra plus, not a minus. All of us have dedicated the time to think about it [the Treble] but maybe not too much. I chose not to.”

“It was the most important thing to feel it and embrace it. We know it happened, the Treble, the titles, whatever, but know you have to forget what you have just do it again. I don’t think ambition will be a problem, because that is the direction the club set out for. This club hires depending on personality and what kind of man you are. That is one of the reasons why that lack of ambition is never an issue.”
