Before the Club World Cup 1/8 final against Riyadh Crescent, Manchester City defender Ruben Dias said in an interview that he knew it would be a tough game.
About Manchester City's three-game victory in the group stage
- We are very happy, but that's the case, which only means we are the first in the group and have advanced. Now, it's almost like a game starting tomorrow.
About Riyadh Crescent
- We are sure it will be a tough game, they have a lot of really good players who know how to play in a team way. I've been watching them closely, mainly because of Ruben-Neves and Cancelo. So, I know they are a very good team and we need to stay in the best shape.
About Inzaji Little
- They can play differently, it is obvious that Inzaji Little squad has a good defense, but again, his team is good at attacking. So, they are relatively balanced and have a lot of players with great abilities, and this game will definitely be tough.
About the European League Championship, winning the European League championship is a special moment. Although the European League is not large, it is also part of the European Cup and World Cup. There is no doubt that we can gain some experience from it. I think we can benefit from the form of the competition, the way of competition, the mentality, and the understanding of the knockout stage.
