Manchester City centre-half is excited to be potentially included on the shortlist of the Player of the Year awards.
Manchester City centre-back Ruben Dias is delighted to be among the candidates for the Player of the Year awards. However, the young defender is focused on what is important for him and the club – trophies.
The 23-year-old made his move from Benfica in September 2020 for £62 million. With his excellent leadership attributes, Dias transformed City’s defence into one of the meanest in the Premier League.
The Portugal international has not yet lifted any silverware with the club. But he has a great chance to do so this weekend as Man City face Tottenham in the final of the Carabao Cup.
On being one of the contenders for the Player of the Year awards, Dias said: “To be spoken of in those terms is a tremendous privilege for me. It is something that makes me feel good, makes me feel that my work is being well done.”
“But essentially, what it tells me, is that the team is having success. For me, to be on that shortlist, especially as a defender, it can only mean the team won and had success. That, for me, is the biggest thing.”
“If you said to me that in your first year in the Premier League you can win the Player of the Year, it would be amazing. But, what I really want in my first year is to win the Premier League. That would be my biggest achievement.”
