City’s defensive leader Ruben Dias also spoke of maintaining last season’s exceptional standards. He added: “Even though this Manchester City team has won a lot in the past few seasons, we are still hungry, and we are still here to win again and again. Actions speak louder than words. We can say all of what we want but all that matters is what we do when the games start and we are on the pitch facing the challenges we face. The mentality is there with everyone who belongs to the club.”
