Maybe they often cross paths in social settings. They both live in Manchester, both own restaurants in Manchester (I have eaten at both, they are really good).

Pep is all about the team as a whole, not individual superstars - that is not superstars who say look at me, pass to me, I take all the penalties, I take all the free kicks, because I am the special one. Dias seems to be an amazing buy, and he has made John Stones and the team much stronger.

Before Pep came to England, most teams rarely played out from the back and it was mostly long balls. Now look what has happened after Pep settled in the epl, teams are now incorporating building from the back as opposed to long balls. Even 2nd tier english leagues are being influenced by Pep's philosophy. You have to look at the influence a manager has created as well when analyzing their legacy. The England national team has also been influenced both the mens and womens team. They are incorporating and adapting to Pep's style.

Not even close to being top 5 managers of all time yet LOL. Sir Alex, Carlo Ancelotti, Lippi, Rinus Michels, Arrigo Sacchi, Del Bosque. Pep’s football is actually very defensive. It’s keep the ball for 70% possession because Without that I don’t know how to setup my teams to actually defend without the ball. His so called Great Barca team only reached 2 UCL finals thanks to the referees (2009 Chelsea scandal and 2011 Arsenal RvP scandal when Arsenal were 30 minutes away from going through). Pep took over a treble winning Bayern, and could NOT even win the UCL with Bayern in his 3 years. Then came to the Premier League, came 3rd with City, couldn’t adapt his tactics so he sold his entire defense and bought a new backline in order to win the league. On the other hand, Manchester United (under Sir Alex) are the Only English team to win the Premier League and UCL in the same season. And he’s done it twice (99 and 08). Sir Alex is also the Only manager to win the Premier League title 3 years in a row (this also he’s done twice: 99-01 and 07-09).

Yes, as a Benfica fan, do beleave me, you got the real Mccoy not only in but out of the pitch too. He's a team player, and lets not 4get, he used to be our captain. All the best Cityzens. From Lisbon

[@Trevorc159]

You can tell Ruben is very wise and smart player! He talks very clearly and with purpose

[@alomgirhussain488]

All of Rio’s interviews are top tier, I’m glued in for the full duration 🙏🏼 well spoken Pep, what a brilliant a manger. Ruben Dias, signing of the season and possibly player of the year.

[@severusfloki5778]

Wow, what a wonderful interview. One of the very best I’ve watched. Perfect quality, good vibes and very good questions from Rio. Ruben is a germ. Pep is a genius with a lot of wisdom, and love for football.

[@Kevin-rh5li]

Brilliant interviews Rio this is a great channel and long may it continue

[@Nommswey]

I think his best quote from Ruben dias, was when he said that he doesn’t try to be the guy that says “you shouldn’t have or should have done this instead of this or that” (paraphrasing) but point being is playing with people in a team that complain when you do something negative instead of encouraging and reassuring you to keep your head up, focus and move on to the next play are the worst teammates you can have. And he shows quality of a great leader just by the way he carries himself and speaks. What a player, big future ahead of him

[@lucabarnes9844]

Ruben needs to be our captain in 1-2 years time

[@TM-eq8dv]

I think kdb wouldn't mind him as captain but kdb deserves captain for another 5 years he singed a new deal so he's staying for another 5years once he leaves dias gets it

[@blagovest17]

Thanks Rio for this opportunity to hear from Pep and understand his thinking process. Something that really impressed me is how he has that mentality to not let himself or his players live on past laurels - a practice that is so common among footballers and so many other athletes. Once you get that mentality, you become an animal, in a positive way, of course.

[@godfreyphiri1539]

I am a Chelsea fan but I absolutely love the Rio Interviews! He's objective & knows how to talk to people 🙌🏽☺️

[@CittizinKane]

Incredible interview!!!! So many things to take in, wonderful questions as well

[@nathanielmariduena605]

As always, top class interview. Rio we love you man.🐐

[@konrad2820]

Why didn’t United go for Dias 😭😭😭 he’s a true leader and a top defender

[@nparsona]

@Khalid AK As a City fan I can categorically say that is not true, and is just hate. United's star has faded somewhat but they still retain a strong pull. However, they cannot live off past glory forever and need to bring some new glory to the club.

[@RonaldKoeman420]

Be happy that you got Bruno Don't ask for every player

[@Ditiro100]

Because he wasn't overpriced

[@babatunde7576]

@Khalid AK dead team? are you sure about that

[@insertname8451]

I'm not sure but I think Ruben didn't actually want to leave Benfica before. Rumour has it that he only decided to leave Benfica after the Champions League humiliation because he realized he wouldn't go further than the Portuguese league if he stayed.

[@amhmd4725]

Quality content again Rio 💯

[@chichichi998]

I've been so impressed with Dias' performance, but now I'm also very impressed with his mindset, how he thinks, and the positivity he brings to the team! And Pep Guardiola- such a great manager!! Great interview!

Such a good interview rio, the positive vibes in this column comment is amazing too.

[@souravdeb4325]

U can tell rio really respects and admires pep ❤

[@owenwilson8822]

Ridiculous! Amazing, Rio, keep it going. So good. (Sky, i hope you can see the difference between a defender like Rio and a member of the public like Micah)

[@demeoo]

No need to be disrespectful to Micah, a lovely bloke...How many defenders past / present could talk ball to Rio? Certainly none in this current generation.

[@theb-show2702]

You can't change your personality pep. I loved that F.A cup moment. He's creating a monster in Phil, he'll peak at 22

[@HakeemAlkingsjuice]

Just pure unadulterated beautiful football and I love that Rio have this program

[@jorgesilva4034]

Rúben Dias is the most perfect example of how a club can do an amazing sale and another club an amazing buy. As to his english level, ( as portuguese ) i am not surprised at all. There is something about the portuguese language, the way we speak, that allows us to adapt and speak other languages quite easily. I know some people that speak french, german or spanish perfectly. Besides, you can tell he is highly educated and very smart. Wish him all the absolute best. A natural born leader!!!! Força Rúben. ❤

[@noahjin1]

Also, can i just say how well Diaz speaks! He's going to lead this city team to a quadruple!

[@sharonbell7777]

Love your vids keep up the cracking work

[@spajderuz]

Great vids.. The interview gets so much better when there is mutual respect between the host and guest. Keep it up Rio!

[@bgpiw]

I dunno its only me or not, but I think since pep joined city, his attitude and personalities look like more. more humble and warm to other. I can see how proud and enjoy he is at manchester city

[@_Highvalue_]

Listening to Pep, and then listening to Ole, makes me depressed. This guy is knowledgeable, passionate and confident. Complete opposite of Ole.

u can’t compare ole to pep u just can’t the experience of pep is 100 miles away from ole. Ole just started his manager career 5/6 years ago I would have guess give ole 2-3 more years maybe he can compete with pep

[@debashismallick9937]

Superb interviews ! ✌️✌️✌️ Great work by Rio. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 The man is a great and intellegent host and of course knows the game very well. Pep...he is the mad scientist of football ! 😻 You can love him or hate him or whatever....the man is unique and too too precious ! Love him. Best manager ever for me. Dias....super stable, calm, composed and weighs each word and action on the pitch. If he playes like this consistently, he will be in the leagues of extraordinary defenders like Maldini, Puyol, Nesta and the likes. 👍👍👍 Manchester City is beautiful 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@rajendrabodhak3977]

You could see he has a way. He knows what he's doing. What he wants to take it up another level. It's depressing to hear this as a united fan.

As a UTD fan am gutted we paid 80 mil for maguire while this guys was available for 60. Sounds like a Captain and a true organizer at the back. He even makes Stones look like a decent defender.
