Manchester City defender Rúben Dias spoke this Sunday about a possible return to Benfica, the club where he was revealed. The athlete did not guarantee a return to the Portuguese team and stated that promises of this type never end well.
“I’ve always preferred to stay away from these issues and these promises, because I think that, at the end of the day… I think, no, it’s more of a statistical question. Normally, if we look at examples from the past, these promises usually never end very well. I have my desires, I keep them to myself. My family and I know where I stand and where I stand. Without a doubt, Benfica is the club of my heart or not. , now it’s too early to say. I don’t think it would be beneficial, neither for me nor for anyone else, Benfica fans, in fact, they all know the affection I have for the club, I was very happy and it will always be in my heart.” , said in an interview with Sports TV.
The athlete also revealed that he follows Benfica, as far as possible, and was confident about the team’s future.
“I’m always following from a distance. I can’t say that I follow every moment, but I’m aware and aware of what’s happening. That’s what football is, there are better seasons and worse seasons… After a worse season, there can always be a better one. . Benfica is a special club, because of the people who work there. As such, I have confidence that these people will always try to do the best for my club.”
Rúben Dias played for Benfica until 2020, when he was transferred to Manchester City. At his formative club, he played 137 games and won a Portuguese Championship, as well as a Portuguese Super Cup.
