You can tell he is very concise with his speech and knows what to say during interviews, great stuff
Every person here does...
I’m guessing that’s because it’s his second language and when English and other languages are taught it’s usually very precise instead of naturally learnt languages where it’s a lot more casual
Yeah
It wasn't a great video tbh, most of that info is common sense, he should give us more examples of what the defender would do in different scenarios.
He is a great teacher. He understands and articulates the nuances of high level play quite well.
He could go on to be manager
He got schooled by Luis Diaz 🤣🤣🤣
😈😈😈😈😎🌍👇
He is Portuguese & speaks such fluent English!! No wonder his team is defensively so sound as he can communicate clearly with whole defense & organise it effectively with concise instructions.
ye cuz he’s in Man City so he’s in the uk and knows English
@@diefronald2653darwin nunez has been at liverpool for a year and cant speak english, cant even understand it
He also has great accent btw
@@rubutu8408 what point u tryna make? its pretty common for players to learn the language of the league they play in, it just happens theres also a few that dont bother
Tbf. A lot of Portuguese players speak very good English.
The best advice is "it depends" I teach my players the same thing. There's no set guidebook. It's a game of chess with a ball. Excellent video.
Me a chess player watching this beacause tomorrow is a match And hoping to play like Rubin diaz tomorrow . 🥲🥲
@@Zubeen_Garg_2005lol
There is no such thing as a perfect defense, as there is no such thing as a perfect offense. Every formation, tactic, lineup and setup has strengths as it does weaknesses. This is why positioning and match awareness are paramount to every position on the pitch at all times.
The only requirement is mentality and physicality to be fast and strong, and also not be hard on yourself. Knowing the basics, and now its "it depends". Good players know the best thing to do when given the ball, thats what separates them.
“Because they need 1 good action and you need 1 mistake.” 👌
I find it amazing how all of pep guardiolas students always sound so articulate. "football is a game of certainties and uncertainties" really caught me off guard.
He's not Pep's student. He just happens to be an intelligent guy.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502pep doesn’t just pick up anybody. But yes not peps student
Fut bol is a game of skill, it is a lot like chess, as a defender you are reading youre oponent, you try to.anticipate their movement and also you want to stop them by any means necessary, you have to constantly use your peripheral vision that way you know you're opponents position also before you even get the ball you already have in.mind what you're going to do with the ball, as a defender your timing gas to be perfect a missed tackle can be a break away that ends in a goal or a penalty kick. Love the game
Which means everything and nothing… 😂
Their are not articulate because they play with Pep. They play with Pep because they are articulate. In other words you're not a good player because you play with Pep. You play with Pep because you are a good player. I am not trying to say that Pep doses not improves players, cuz he does and a lot, what I saying is: Pep is the kind of coach where his players need to fit and adapt to a certain philosophy, unlike Mourinho, Ancelotti or Zidane where the coach adapts to the players. Zidane coaches the way he used to play: Put the players where they feel the most confotrable and let them shine, cuz then they have no excuses but it adds more weight on the player's shoulders. Pep on the other sides is a control freak, cuz as he says so many time, if there is no control caos takes over and in caos anything can happen. So every players "just" has to do what he wants. Which means "less" responsabilty for the players, BUT the problem with this way of coaching if you don't have the "right" players it won't work. Unlike Mourinho or Zidane: They don't need the "right" players they only need "good" players. You can be a great Player but not being able to play in a Pep team. For example Bale is a Zidane kind of player because he is not a player for possession football, he is more of transitional player. Just like prime CR7, Di Maria or Even Mbappe. What Pep always looks for is a player that is comfortable with ball and can play with a slow pace players like Bernardo, Busquets, Xavi, Joáo Felix, Kimmisch, Pedri or even Griezmann.
The guy is very smart and an elite defender.
As a Portuguese and Benfica fan, this guy really makes me proud with all he's becoming, keep going Rúben you're on your way to become one of the Best CB's ever.
What do you think about Ronaldo
Is Portugal team better without Ronaldo
Or better with hm

@@ahaan416 everyone's entitled to their opinion, let me Just say thats Bs for me tho
This is the best explanation of defence in football I've heard so far 🔥🔥 👏👏👏
He spoke about defending beutifully. He is one of the best defenders in the game and one of my favourite too.
u speld wrong 😂😂
Best centre back in the world, hate to say it as a Chelsea fan but he is unreal!
bruh best?
@@Crimsonvortexmaxwho’s better? Ruben dias is so much better then van dijk
love how van dijk is the only guy that comes to mind when thinking about whos better, simply because van dijk is better. better prime, better overall. theres a reason why hes the only defender to not be dribbled past this season. ruben dias is great, but not better than van dijk. better in the future, but not now. @@crazygamingyt7245
True facts
@@crazygamingyt7245Rudiger is better than Dias. Saliba, konate . Dias is a strong four or five is militao is healthy

Summary of the video: Q: How to defend? A: It depends..
Like that response "they need one good action, you need one good mistake". Tough but thorough words.
thanks ruben as a striker i will also implement some of this advice into my training.
I've been watching this man play since he joined City and I can hardly remember him putting a foot wrong. Perfection at the CB position.
The best defender in the PL 🔥

@@lexieheartzjb bro forgot about Maldini
I was waiting for this video for months. More defending videos pls 🙏
Woah his personality is outstanding 💯💯
So defence is mostly intuition and really “in the moment” it’s not really an art to teach to others but to teach yourselves through rl situations. You teach how to stand or stance yourself, along with the physical capabilities necessary. Beyond that is just pure experience, and watching some games to learn movements and habits of the players within a 10 metre radius. One thing I always do is CONSIDER THE 2nd option, you have 2 legs so use both, but have it at the front of your brain. Then again I’m a winger so I may not kno what I’m talking abt 😭if u got any tips for me lmk ion mind some more defensive capabilities
to start, since your on the wing, try and force them to go close to the touchline. If their getting close to your goal or if their getting to be in a position that you don't like and their about to pass, don't be afraid to give them a little push at the last moment or try and get them off balance, this always helps. I play fullback and I completley agree with what your saying. The only advice I've ever been able to give when asked about 1v1s is just dont fall for it. Don't fall for the stepovers or the chops or anything, anticipate and go for the ball when it's inconvinent for the opponent. gl man
@@thegoat1242 ah yes the little push you give right before they pass or shoot, great tip man
not so sure man
Of course defence is a teachable discipline/position. There are core principles, skills, tactics. You build a lethal arsenal of capabilities. The intuition comes in the moment of play, but what we would call intuition is really your mind, body, muscle memory, experience, game intelligence, teamwork and communication, etc. all working together to create a pro-level response in a microsecond.
yea
no wonder why I'm a big fan of Rúben! I'm just an ordinary girl who is a huge Manchester City fan, probably people would label me or view me as "That typical fangirl who loves her fav player only because of his looks" but in fact I'm not, and many girls are not!
I personally pay attention to every single thing Rúben does. I'm not a football player myself but I try as much as possible to learn about football techniques that improve any player's capacities and Rúben is the perfect example. from the way he's answering questions, to the way he talks and explains details, to the way he actually plays on the field, not mentioning his high class ethics, literally one of the few players who dedicate themselves to football fully with much focus. I wish him all the best of the best in the upcoming games and life in general because HE DESERVES IT 💙 força rúben e boa sorte sempre 🫡
I thought the advice at the end was best - to improve as a defender is not necessarily practice practice practice but to learn and understand is the key. And then of course practice!
Damn…His english is even better than the time he just joined the club（At that time he‘s already good❤
Brilliant!!!! Charmingly articulate and technically superb content. Thank you.👏👏👏👏👏
That’s class. He’s given an overall picture of what you need to understand and work on as a defender. Imagine all the attributes in a pie chart - and having an understanding allows you to cover these slices.
7:20 I think that could have applied to this video as well.
Pleasure to see him on the channel but so much of his answers were "well it depends" because no defender can give you a definitive "law" on it.
If maybe he was able to be in a few 1v1 scenarios with a top level academy player then we could see how he'd react given the scenarios.
At the minium I think even having the next guest in a similar role/position review their match footage with a host, and give a "directors commentary" over what he was thinking/why he made a specific decision in matches.
Great work getting him on!
never came across this well explained topic.
nice vid lads keep it going
Love it love your content😊
sayin a lot about ruben's answers but goluremi's interview skills are so good and get those good answers out
One of best defender 💝 fav 😊
"They need one good action, you need one mistake." Truer words were never said.
Nice video . He is very intelligent. I play CM and I used to be naturally good defending and with age my (33) defending became worse (because I never worked on it it was a good part it my game) … now I’m gonna work on it according to this interview! Great advice Thanks
Thanks for that Ruben and uni sport I had a match just after your vid and I made a crucial tackle inside the box
So informative what goes on the defenders mind..
Best guidence ever♥️
He's brilliant. Top class.
Thank you for this video, great to hear from another pros frame of mind. But honestly, only with the conversation if a younger player were to watch this they will only begin to second guess everything they’re doing. His answers to your?s were all so infinite he to the possible variables. Which is true! But to help these younger players learn they need to hear more of a simplistic frame of mind from an elite player and then learn from their mistakes as he said at the end. Again thank you for the video
He teaching very well 🔥 easy to understand
Thank you for this video it just gave motivation i am not the best but i am willing to make a change
dias is intelligent and one of the best CB itw rn. City are lucky to have him!
Brilliant. Soccer is a low-scoring game, which means that it is a game based on defense, not offense. Forwards get all the glory, but defenders win the games.
Really helpful, thanks unisport
Damn, makes sense why he’s so good. A lot of insight and wisdom in this video 🔥
a vedeo on how to be defensive midfielder please!!
I know that you are a attacker watching this video to read defender's mind 😂😂
You guys should get Maldini on here to teach us how he was good at defending and some useful tips.
Yo that would be crazy like he’s one of the best players ever definitely top ten or 20 maybe even five
@@A-Random_PakistaniAccording google he 13best player of all time
He would make such a brilliant coach. Wow
I have learned alot from watching him i am now the best defender in my academy
this content is just amazing guys
good questions by the presenter... introducing key terms and ideas and allowing for comparison
Thanks brother❤❤❤
Maldini ,Sérgio Ramos, puyol, Ferdinand, canavaro, nesta.
did not expect him to speak this well.. damnnn. 🔥🔥
I impressed by his English!!
Much appreciation
Not a City fan at all, but this guy is a monster
Absolute wall. I underestimated him when he 1st came to City. But I changed my mind real quick, he is an amazing defender🙌🙌
He played with some good defenders tbh ..Pepe and Bruno alves are two of the greatest Portugese defenders.
He is brilliant!!!
Thank you❤
Thank yuo so much
His English is so good
Rúben Dias My Favourite Defender in the world
We need Sergio ramos as a teacher 😅
"Violence is the answer."
Ramos' answer to every question.
Awesome!!
The most improtant thing for a defender is "game reading" ,as a defender you should think like the attacker , like if i would be an attacker in that position right noe heere will i go , e.g i am being pressed from the centre , there is a man open on his left , so as a defender just go and stand with that man , or if you are already occupied with a man , tell a midfielder or another defender to mark him . 0:32
He's the best 🩵
best defender currently
Ruben “it depends” Diaz
*Dias
very nice vid 👏
I Love him, is very smart and i Love his voice
He is soo smart
Ur channel is great . One day I will become great footballer.
Its amazing 😮
Love you dias
Very good coach❤
Taking tips as a forward
You can tell he has the elite mentality. I could see him being a great manager.
he said “it depends” 1000times 😂😂❤❤
Crazy how I was thinking if he was going to talk about facing the sort of person who does 30 stepovers and then you asked the question immediately after I thought that
I’m a left winger but I’m still gonna learn these tackling techniques because if the opponents are near the goal, I can help defend with my fellow defenders, this could be very helpful
if ur LWB or RWB aka wingback aren't you a defender? sorry new to football
@@roughysk9851 yes and LWB and RWB are considered defenders, but left and right wingers are forwards
Altrincham FC .... such a good pitch
10:03
"because they need one good action, and you need one mistake"
realest phrase that says what is like to be a defender
Great interview Ruben Dias.
Especially for number 4s like me.
This Ruben Dias so humble.
Thanks
U did good not asking him how to defend in the air.. El Nesyri owns him up there.
I Will Be Very Happy To See Aaron Wan Bissaka on this channel coz he is one of the best tacklers in the world❤
The best defender in the pl and even the world
Now we have understood defending. What to do? It depends.
The last few lines were total brutal reality by dias , striker makes one good turn , or shoot he is glorified for the whole match , defender makes one mistake and he is shamed the whole match .
thats why imo defender >>>>> any attacking position
His English is very good
Everything he says then basically comes down to learn to be in control of the things you CAN be and don't worry too much about the things you CAN'T because there's always something you can't be in control of when your one on one against a good attacker , every situation has the possibility of unpredictability you can't train or practice for , you just have to be ready to react to sometimes
So to have the best chance OF reacting correctly do the things you CAN do first, ingrain them in yourself in your training to always be reading the game and watching all around you
Awareness Always know exactly where you are, your team mates are and the opponents are , where the space Is, where the space Isn't
Also watch everything and conciously try to make little mental notes during a game of the opposition players and how they are playing and what they are trying on the day even when your not facing this player yourself ,remember if he is tending to use repeated moves against other teammates and talk to them in the game , communicate with your other defenders and pass on information
Basically be switched on ALL the time
If you know and do this you will have a better chance to be in a position to make the right reactive decisions in all the different unique situations you find yourself in a game or as he says "It depends" because these are the main things "It depends" on which are in YOUR control
Please the next video with a striker
"they need one good action, you need one mistake" 🙌
God is great.
