After Arsenal v City, Rúben Dias reacts to José Mourinho joining Benfica | OneFootball

Rúben Dias commented on José Mourinho's arrival as the technical director of Benfica, this after having already done so in the Champions League. At the end of Arsenal - City, which ended in a draw, the Portuguese international trained at the Club da Luz wished the coach the best of luck, hoping that his beloved Club can triumph.

"Obviously it's my heart's club, from childhood and always, and of course, I wish the best of luck to both, my Benfica and Mr. José Mourinho. I hope they are happy together," said Rúben Dias, speaking to DAZN, after the draw at Arsenal - City.

"A very difficult game, in which the fighting spirit we had stands out, the way we fought for each duel, everyone was connected, we were all playing as one. In the final minutes, perhaps when we felt most solid and they couldn't create many chances, they end up scoring a goal. It's part of football, it is what it is, but we leave with our heads held high and with the feeling that we are progressing on the right path," analyzed Rúben Dias.

"I see it as a natural process [changes in the team] in which there needs to be adaptation, there needs to be this identification of each one who joins the small or large details that make us win. This fighting spirit, this spirit of mutual aid, feeling that we are there for the colleague next to us, this is what made us win and this is what, consequently, also makes us play as well as we can play," concluded Rúben Dias.

With the Benfica jersey, between 2015 and 2021, Rúben Dias played a total of 137 matches, in which he scored 12 goals and made five assists. The former player of the incarnates won a National Championship (2018/19) and a Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira (2019), before heading to Manchester City.
