在我们的季后回顾中，我们继续回顾每个球员是如何在新一个英超联赛冠军的成功中发光的。

考虑到他们的赛季数据、亮点和其他人的观点，我们接下来谈谈我们的葡萄牙防守坚石，鲁本 迪亚斯。

这是他在俱乐部的第二年，这里概述了他作为曼城防守核心的另一个精彩活动......

赛季数据

总出场次数（所有比赛）：40

总进球数：2

总助攻数：5

英超联赛出场次数：29

累计总时间（所有比赛）：3,291

赛季亮点

鲁本 迪亚斯知道，除了以100%的承诺和激情进行比赛外，没有其他办法。

每当他上场时，这位葡萄牙国脚都是一幅专注、集中和坚定的画面。

腿筋伤病意味着他总共错过了本赛季三分之一的时间，但他在出场的总共40场比赛中表明他还是做出了重要贡献。

当你的表现水平如此稳定和可靠时，要挑选出一场特别的比赛并不容易，但一个坚实的表现和一个进球可能只是被边缘化。

考虑到这一点，在英超第14轮曼城客场2-1战胜阿斯顿维拉的比赛中，我们的3号在球场的两端都做出了巨大的贡献。

他在27分钟时出色地完成了在20码外的射门，使曼城在维拉公园以1比0领先，葡萄牙同胞贝尔纳多的精彩射门在中场休息前将领先优势扩大了一倍。

主队总是会在某个阶段反弹，奥利-沃特金斯在下半场刚开始（第46分钟）的进球意味着下半场比赛会很棘手，尤其是在比赛的最后时刻。

但迪亚斯在强大的压力下顶住了阿斯顿维拉潮水般的攻势——就像当晚所有曼城后卫所做的那样——确保了2-1的胜利，并获得了3分。

综述

作为一个天生的领导者，迪亚斯的组织能力首屈一指，当需要背水一战的时候，你可以指望他一次又一次地站出来。

对鲁本来说，将自己的身体置于危险之中是理所当然的，他可以做出任何重要的阻挡，当需要这样的时候，他就会这样做——在2021/22赛季，他已经做了很多次。

也许没有人注意到的是他为队友创造进球的能力——作为一名中后卫，他在上赛季总共有5次助攻，令人印象深刻。

但是，当然，在球场的另一端帮助防守阻止进球才是他的首要工作。

尽管老队长费尔南迪尼奥做出了崇高的努力，但在迪亚斯、约翰 斯通斯、凯尔 沃克和内森 阿克都因伤病而挣扎的情况下（拉波尔特也是强忍膝盖疼痛比赛并因此缺席了本次西班牙国家队的征召），曼城在联赛末期的防守危机几乎被证明在英超联赛的冠军争夺中付出了惨痛的代价。

尽管在对阵狼队和西汉姆的比赛中受到重创，但艾默里克 拉波尔特一直坚持到比赛的最后一声哨响，但如果迪亚斯保持健康，最后一天对阵阿斯顿维拉的比赛可能就不会那么紧张了。

一个充分休息的夏天和一个完全恢复活力的鲁本 迪亚斯将是曼城2022/23赛季的一个理想开端。

他们说了什么

前曼城队长安迪-莫里森：

"他的到来和定居的方式，以及发挥领导作用的方式是非常好的。”

"尽管他还很年轻，但他有能力带领这样一个俱乐部。他看起来和以前一样坚如磐石。“

"他是领导者。他是未来十年的队长。“

（英超第14轮曼城2：1阿斯顿维拉，鲁本迪亚斯在防守沃特金斯）

你需要阻挡和对付，并成为一个领导者。迪亚斯想去防守。他想挑战。他很有激情。

"如果要在联赛中与任何球员进行1对1的比赛，你会希望鲁本-迪亚斯是那个防守的人。

"他是一代中后卫领袖和标杆。他是独一无二的。

"我很想能够和他一起踢球！"。

"他的表现、强度和他的眼睛--他眼中的焦点--他从来没有飘过。他总是很有活力。他指挥着球员们。

"让我们希望在未来十年里，尤其是当你得到像鲁本这样特别的人时，我们要照顾好他。"

In our post-season review, we continue to look back at how each player shone during yet another Premier League title success.

Taking in their season stats, highlights, and views of others, we turn next to our Portuguese defensive rock, Ruben Dias.

In his second year at the Club, here is an overview of another fantastic campaign at the heart of City’s defence…

SEASON STATS

Total appearances : 40

Total goals: 2

Total assists: 5

Premier League appearances: 29

Total cumulative minutes : 3,291

SEASON HIGHLIGHT

Ruben Dias knows no other way than to play with 100% commitment and passion.

Every time he goes out onto the pitch, the Portugal international is a picture of focus, concentration, and determination.

Hamstring issues meant he missed almost a third of the season in total, but his total of 40 games in all competitions shows he made a telling contribution, nonetheless.

When your performance levels are so steady and reliable, it’s not always easy to pick out one game in particular, but a solid performance and a goal probably just edges it.

With that in mind, the 2-1 win away to Aston Villa saw our No.3 contribute hugely at both ends of the pitch.

His excellent 20-yard finish on 27 minutes put City 1-0 up at Villa Park, with compatriot Bernardo’s stunning volley doubling the lead just before the break.

The hosts were always going to rally at some stage and Ollie Watkins’ goal straight after the restart meant the second period was tricky to negate – particularly the closing moments of the game.

But Dias stood tall under some intense pressure – as all the City defenders did that evening – to ensure a 2-1 victory was secured and three points were banked.

 OVERVIEW

A natural leader, Dias' organisational skills are second to none and when a backs-to-the-wall performance is needed, you can count on him to stand tall, time and time again.

Putting his body on the line is par for the course for Ruben and any vital block he can make, he will - and did so many times in 2021/22.

What perhaps goes unnoticed is his ability to create goals for his team-mates – a total of five assists last season for a central defender makes for impressive reading.

But, of course, it’s helping keep out goals at the other end of the pitch that is his bread and butter job.

City’s defensive crisis towards the end of the campaign almost proved costly in the Premier League title race, despite the noble efforts of veteran skipper Fernandinho who was forced to drop into central defence while Dias, John Stones, Kyle Walker, and Nathan Ake all struggled with injury.

Aymeric Laporte soldiered through to the final whistle of the campaign, despite taking heavy knocks against Wolves and West Ham, but had Dias remained fit, the final day against Aston Villa might not have been quite as tense as it was!

A restful summer and a fully recharged Ruben Dias will be an ideal start to the 2022/23 campaign for City.

WHAT THEY SAID

Former City captain Andy Morrison...

“The way he has come in and settled, and also taken that leadership role is fantastic.

“He has the qualities to carry a club the size of this one even though he is still so young. He looks as rock solid as ever.

“He is the leader. He is the captain for the next ten years.

“You need to block and tackle and be a leader. Dias wants to go and defend. He wants to challenge. He’s passionate.

“If it comes down to a 1v1 situation against any player in the league, you want Ruben Dias to be the one defending in that situation.

“He is a generational centre-back. He is unique.

“I would have loved to been able to play alongside him!

"His performances, intensity and his eyes - the focus in his eyes - he never drifts off. He’s always animated. He bosses the players.

“Let’s hope in the next ten years, especially when you get someone as special as Ruben, that we look after him.”
