Manchester City star, Ruben Dias has come out to say that he used to look forward to watching Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic every weekend. He recently revealed that CBs like Vincent Kompany and John Terry also had a positive influence on his career.

According to him, he learnt a lot from these legendary defenders, and it made him understand the English Premier League way before he got signed by Manchester City.
Dias added that he doesn’t understand why fans compare him to Kompany because the ex Belgian captain can never be replaced.
His words, “When I was a kid watching the Premier League was my dream weekend, I’ve watched many games with you, Vidic, Kompany, John Terry, an infinite list,”
“From there you start learning and I learned a lot from what I hear and what I see and just by watching I started to understand the league and the way you play.”
“The thing that makes the big difference is how competitive it is. Here you get the challenge every game and I think that’s what makes the league different and if you’re successful it’s because you can solve it many times.”
On replacing Kompany, “I felt zero pressure – no one could put more pressure apart from the pressure I put on myself,”
“People are comparing me to Vincent and I understand why people do it but honestly for me you cannot replace Kompany because of all that he’s done. I have a lot ambition, I want to win.”
