The Rise Of Ruben Dias! | Explained

Спорт

► SUBSCRIBE to FOOTBALL DAILY: bit.ly/fdsubscribe
On 29th September 2020 Man City announced the signing of centre back Ruben Dias from Benfica for just over £61m, the second largest fee in their history. The 23 year old defender was walking into a club recovering from a chastening 2019/20 season that had seen them finish 18 points behind Liverpool and once again exit the Champions League at the quarter final stage.
Having conceded 35 League goals that campaign, the most since Guardiola’s first in the Premier League, and already been thrashed 5-2 by Leicester City at the Etihad, all eyes were on Dias. It’s fair to say there was a certain amount of skepticism. After all he’d never played outside of Portugal or progressed past the Champions League groups, leaving plenty of people wondering whether he was the man to solidify a shaky defence and become Kompany’s long term heir. Jamie Carragher went as far to say that if it didn’t work out it could be “the end of the Pep project.”
Under 8 months later, Man City are Premier League and Carabao Cup Champions, with a debut Champions League final to look forward to in a matter of hours. A series of magnificent defensive displays ensure that Ruben Dias, recently named Football Writers Men's Player Of The Year, is the favourite for PFA Player Of The Year too.
Today on FD Explained we want to analyze the rise of Ruben Dias. Who is he, what makes him so special and what does the future hold for him? Let’s get started...

    The fact that Ruben Dias speaks perfect English is essential in him being a leader in England. Without English ability he would just be a follower, and we would not be talking about him the way we are right now!!!

    Not exactly. It's more about the adaptability to Pep system. Players like Bernardo, Sane, Cancelo, Mahrez etc. couldn't get too many games on their first City season because they needed time to adapt. Dias is one of those rare cases who slotted in easily with the team. Kudos to him for that.

His defensive awareness is average (check his positioning against Werner in the first 2 missed chances at the beginning of the match + awful communcating and positioning in the goal incident; he left the deep area wide open). His headers are not really accurate; he gave Chelsea some dangerous second balls yesterday. Rudiger deserves double the amount of the praise. When City is working 100%, every defender looks prime Maldini, because they mostly deal with dead balls as the city pressing so agressive with their attacking and medfield lines. I agree with you though; he is young, fresh to the PL and has a potential to be a great defender.
