Etihad Adventures: Trams, Buses, and Bouncing Back…
Ruben Dias is all set to greet fans using trams and buses as they roll into the Etihad this Saturday for a community celebration weekend with a twist. The Manchester City defender is optimistic, believing Pep Guardiola’s crew isn’t ready to trade in their trophy cabinet just yet. Despite a rocky season that saw the invincible Blues looking more like the invincible flub-ups, scrapping for a top-four spot isn’t quite the fairy tale City and Dias imagined. They might not be hoisting league trophies this time, but hey, even Cinderella misplaced a shoe now and again!
Dias insists that after tripping a few times, they’ve simply found themselves on a strange diet of humble pie this season. With the weight of expectations quite heavy, he says they’ve learned a thing or two about emotional aerobics. Through gritted teeth and the odd hamstring woe, Dias is certain the tides will turn, ensuring City hasn’t misplaced their crown but merely loaned it out for dry cleaning!
Reflective and upbeat post-rollercoaster ride, Dias recalls his muscular metamorphosis days at Benfica. Now, strapping himself as vice-captain, he’s not about to pass on the baton but rather rally the troops for yet another adventure, gluttonous as ever for victory. City’s next-gen soldiers? It’s time to dig in – Dias style!
